Unclear The finding shows the rendering capability being added but doesn't say whether or where it's actually surfaced in the UI yet.

What

The renderers for diffs and code blocks (used to display file changes and highlighted code) now support a new renderSplit method that returns separate gutter (line-number/marker column) and content arrays, instead of one combined line of text. This sits alongside the existing unified render method that produces a single merged view.

Why

This lays the groundwork for displaying diffs and code side by side, gutter next to content, as an alternative to the current single merged view.
