// metadataHandshake is what a diff renderer that speaks the OSC 1717 protocol emits
// before anything else, to announce that it does: a version-only record, with none of
// the fields a line's record has. See ProbeDiffRendererEmitsMetadata, and gocui's
// escape interpreter for how it is kept off the screen on a real render.
const metadataHandshake = "\x1b]1717"

// ProbeDiffRendererEmitsMetadata reports whether the configured diff renderer states
// which line of which file it is rendering, by running it on empty input and looking
// for the handshake. That is what decides whether a diff the renderer produced can be
// acted on at all, or has to be replaced by git's own when the user wants to act on it
// (see DiffLineHelper.MainViewDiffMode).
//
// Asking rather than watching a real render: the handshake is the renderer's first
// output whatever the diff, so the answer is a property of the renderer, known before
// we render anything — where watching would have to see a diff go by first, and would
// be fooled by a diff with no lines to describe.
//
// No terminal is needed. git only invokes a stdin filter when it thinks it is talking
// to one, but the renderer itself doesn't care: it announces itself whenever OSC1717 is
// set, so it can be run directly with empty input.
