Feature: Implement View Diff functionality in Sync tab #3

Description

@jms830

Description

The "View Diff" button in the Sync tab is currently a placeholder and needs to be fully implemented to show differences between local workspace and remote Claude.ai projects.

Current Status

  • Button exists and is clickable
  • Function viewWorkspaceDiff() exists but only shows placeholder alert
  • File: entrypoints/dashboard/main.ts (line 2029-2032)

Expected Functionality

Show a comprehensive comparison view displaying:

Summary Statistics

  • Number of remote projects
  • Number of local folders
  • Number of matched projects
  • Projects only on remote (new)
  • Folders only locally (orphaned)

Detailed Diff View

For each matched project:

  • Files only on remote (would be downloaded)
  • Files only locally (would be uploaded in bidirectional mode)
  • Modified files (hash comparison)
  • File change indicators (added/removed/modified)

UI Design

  • Modal or dedicated section in Sync tab
  • Color-coded changes (green=added, red=removed, yellow=modified)
  • Expandable project sections
  • File-level detail view
  • Export diff report option (CSV/JSON)

Technical Implementation

  1. Create SyncManager.computeWorkspaceDiff() method
  2. Implement diff visualization component
  3. Add modal/section to dashboard HTML
  4. Add diff-specific CSS styling
  5. Wire up viewWorkspaceDiff() function
