Utilities
Diff this run against a Trickest storage baseline.
overview
diff-trickest-files is the managed Utilities node that compares this run's new-file to a named old-file in Trickest storage and writes only the lines that differ.
A scheduled recon or inventory job that should probe, screenshot, or alert on deltas, not the full historical set every cycle.
Authenticate with token or token-file. Refresh the baseline with put-trickest-files after each run. For a pull without comparison, use get-trickest-files.
use cases
Diff this run's subdomain list against the version stored last run so probing and alerting fire on new hosts, not the full set every time.
Schedule a recon workflow and diff each output against its stored baseline to catch changes as they appear across the estate.
Feed only the changed lines to expensive nodes like screenshotting or scanning instead of rerunning them over unchanged data.
Store the latest list with put-trickest-files after the diff so the next scheduled run has a current old-file to compare against.

Use diff-trickest-files when a scheduled workflow should act only on what changed since the last run. Store a baseline with put-trickest-files, diff the next run against it, then refresh the baseline. To pull a stored file without comparing, use get-trickest-files.
Pulls a stored file into the workflow. Use when you need the baseline itself, not a delta.
Saves a file to storage. Run after the diff to keep the baseline current.
Appends only new lines to a local file. Prefer anew for in-run merges; prefer this node for a persisted storage baseline.
