Summary
When running engineer-brain update, show a clear, colored diff of what changed in BRAIN.md compared to the previous state — making it obvious what the brain learned.
Motivation
- Currently
update rewrites BRAIN.md silently
- Users want to see what changed without manually comparing
- Builds trust in the auto-learning system ("what did it detect?")
