[DOCS] Document diff timeout behavior for large files with few common lines
증상
Missing documentation (feature not documented)
원인
Resource bottleneck (CPU, memory, I/O, or network latency) or inefficient algorithm causing timeout or slowdown.
해결법
introduced a 5-second timeout on diff computation, after which the diff falls back gracefully. This is observable, user-facing behavior: users working with large generated files, minified assets, binary-adjacent text files, or data files may see a truncated or simplified diff rather than a full line-by-line comparison.
This behavior is entirely undocumented. Users who encounter a degraded diff display have no way to know:
- That a timeout caused the simplified output
- That the timeout threshold is 5 seconds
- That the fallback is intentional and safe (not an error)
- What kinds of files
