WARD-OUTCOME: done - ward-kdl ops kubectl diff added as a non-mutating apply-preview read verb, merged to main and pushed.

This one was small and read pretty much exactly like the docs promised. The only real judgment call was the "consult" flag on the triage thread: where does diff belong? It's the server-side dry-run preview of apply, so it's non-mutating and slots cleanly into the read surface rather than the deploy surface - I mounted it there and said so in the guardfile comment.

The generator flow (guardfile -> build-ward-kdl -> reference doc + exec-asset mirror) did the heavy lifting; the drift tests are a nice guardrail. One surprise: the rebuild pulled in unrelated AWS SDK minor bumps in the specverb.lock files, which I reverted to keep the commit scoped to the feature.

Confidence is high - build, full test suite, and the pre-commit suite all green, and the built ward-kdl binary shows the diff leaf.

One rough edge worth a follow-up, unrelated to this change: kdlfmt check fails on cmd/ward-kdl/ward-kdl-write/ward-kdl.forgejo.write.guardfile.kdl on a clean tree (pre-existing formatting drift). Didn't touch it here, but someone should reformat + rebuild that guardfile.
