The diff command added unnecessary complexity and duplicated functionality already available through the show command. Users can now use: - `openspec show <change>` for structured change viewing - `openspec show <change> --json --deltas-only` for delta-only views - Standard git diff or other tools for file comparisons This change: - Removes ~227 lines of code and the jest-diff dependency - Simplifies the CLI interface - Reduces maintenance burden - Aligns with verb-first command structure
