`LogViewer` reports follow state; JSON expansion can be controlled; pure transformation helpers emit nothing.

Callback props run after the documented input is accepted. Callbacks are not cancellable unless their return type or description states otherwise.

## Interaction and capabilities [#interaction-and-capabilities]

Viewers scroll and filter; JSON nodes expand or collapse; diff output remains deterministic in static mode.

The published manifest records keyboard, focus, pointer, theme, terminal, semantic, event, and dependency requirements.

## Complete import [#complete-import]

```tsx
import { DiffViewer } from "@/components/tuil/data-display/log-viewer";
```
