docs(tools): DiffResultView.diffs may be a whole-file diff, not only hunks
The write-diff-card fix made write's presentResult return an args-derived whole-file diff (oldText:null) for a create / unchanged overwrite, but the DiffResultView contract and its mirrored docs still said `diffs` is ALWAYS the applied contextual hunks computed from before/after. Correct the type JSDoc, the write execute-side comment, and the four mirrored surfaces (tools.md, tools README, acp-feature-support, adding-a-tool cookbook) to say: typically the applied hunks, or a whole-file diff when there is no before-image (a create) — and that a mutation returns the diff result even when it duplicates the call-time card, since a tool_call_update.content replace would otherwise clobber the diff with the model-facing text. Regenerate the cordis catalog (source line shift).

How a tool wants its call shown in a UI (an editor tool-call card, a CLI log line), provider-neutral so a tool describes itself without depending on any client protocol. `presentCall`/`presentResult` return a **`card`-tagged render intent** — a discriminated union a UI bridge switches on:

|
||||
- `ToolCallView` (pending): `{ card: 'generic', title, kind?, rawInput?, content?, locations? }` (the default card; `locations` is `{ path, line? }[]` files the call reads/modifies, for editor follow-along), `{ card: 'terminal', title, description?, cwd? }` (a shell command → a terminal card), or `{ card: 'diff', title, diffs, locations? }` (a file create/modify → an inline diff card; `diffs` is `{ path, oldText, newText }[]`, `oldText: null` for a new file).

- `ToolResultView` (completed): `{ card: 'generic', title?, content? }`, `{ card: 'terminal', title?, output?, exitCode?, signal? }` (the captured run output + exit; a capable UI shows an exit-status pill, an incapable one gets a fenced ` ```console ` fallback the bridge derives from `output`), or `{ card: 'diff', title?, diffs }` (a completed file mutation → the APPLIED hunks with context lines, one entry per changed site, computed from the before/after file content — distinct from the call-time whole-snippet `diff`, which it supersedes).

A `tool_call_update`'s content REPLACES the call's content, so a mutation tool returns this even when it duplicates the call-time snippet, to keep the result from clobbering the diff with result text).

`ToolCallKind` (`'read' | 'edit' | 'delete' | 'move' | 'search' | 'execute' | 'fetch' | 'other'`) picks an icon on a generic card. `FileLocation` (`{ path, line? }`) and `FileDiff` (`{ path, oldText, newText }`) are the shared file-card vocabulary. The design is pinned in [the render-intent-union RFC](../rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-07-02-tool-render-intent-union.md); the ACP bridge maps a `diff` card to a `{ type: 'diff' }` content block, a `terminal` card to the `_meta` terminal convention, and relativizes a file card's title against the session cwd.
