Deployment artifact comparison

Separate the observed change from the decision it triggers.

A deterministic diff can identify changed bytes, interfaces, graph structure, tensor encodings, or metadata. It cannot decide by itself whether performance, safety, or intended use remains acceptable.

Compare matching formats

npx -y deepbom@1.97.4 diff "./baseline.gguf" "./candidate.gguf" \
  --tensors --render markdown

npx -y deepbom@1.97.4 diff "./baseline.onnx" "./candidate.onnx" \
  --summary

Record both artifact hashes and the analyzer version. For GGUF, the tensor view reports encoding-transition counts, both assignment digests, and the changed tensor rows. Markdown is a presentation of the same structured result, not a separate analysis.

Decision boundary

Observed or derived	Artifact identity, interface delta, graph delta, tensor-assignment delta, and evidence coverage.
Process input	The detected change can identify engineering areas that require revalidation or reassessment.
Not a verdict	The diff does not establish clinical equivalence, unchanged task performance, acceptable risk, or regulatory acceptability.
