feat: Add diff preview for ACP providers

[carlos-algms]

ACP Diff Preview Feature

Overview

Adds visual diff preview functionality for ACP (Agent Client Protocol) providers, allowing users to see proposed changes directly in their buffers before applying them.

Core Feature

• ACP Diff Preview: Visual diff display in buffers before applying ACP tool call changes
• Configurable via acp_show_diff_in_buffer setting (defaults to true)

Architecture & Refactoring

• Extracted diff display logic: New diff_display.lua utility module for reusable diff rendering
• Separated ACP diff handling: New acp_diff_handler.lua module for ACP-specific diff extraction and processing
• Added diff preview UI: New acp_diff_preview.lua module for buffer preview management
• Removed duplicate code: Eliminated redundant diff rendering logic from llm.lua

Configuration Changes

• Replaced config option: Changed acp_follow_agent_locations ? acp_show_diff_in_buffer (focuses on diff preview vs. auto-navigation)

Type System Improvements

• Enhanced ACP types: Improved type definitions for
  • ToolCallUpdate
  • RequestPermission
  • ACPRawInput

Code Quality

• Comprehensive test suite: Added 490+ lines of unit tests for ACP diff handler with fixtures and sample data
• Cleanup: Removed deprecated helper functions and streamlined replace_in_file.lua

UI Enhancements

• Syntax highlighting: Added highlight groups for diff display elements
• History rendering: Updated message rendering to support new ACP tool name

@carlos-algms Excuse me. I test this PR on my service with claude-code + avante.nvim. I did not see the diff preview as expected. Can you help me to check my steps :

My configurations :

{
    provider = "claude-code",

    acp_providers = {
        ["claude-code"] = {
            command = "npx",
            args = { "@zed-industries/claude-code-acp" },
            env = {
                NODE_NO_WARNINGS = "1",
                ANTHROPIC_API_KEY = os.getenv("ANTHROPIC_API_KEY"),
            },
        },
    },
}

• export ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN=xxx
• export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=xxx # because I am not using the official service.

claude will modify the file in the background but no diff view appears. Do I need to enable certain settings?

@Waitzz have you checked this branch locally?

You should not be required to do anything else.

Maybe Claude changed the diff message since the last commit in this branch.

[Waitzz]

It looks correct.

My Claude's version is :

Waitzz@G3:~$ claude --version

Could you tell me your Claude version?
