uip rpa diff

uip rpa diff opens Studio's side-by-side diff window on two files. The files can be of any type — workflows, coded files, plain text — and the comparison is purely visual: Studio renders the differences in a window and the command blocks until the user closes it.

Because the diff is rendered by Studio, the verb works only on Windows runners (Studio is Windows-only).
