[stacked] Final docs and architecture review #369

@barrettruth

Description

@barrettruth

Part of #358.

Goal

Perform a final holistic review of stacked layout before closing the tracker, after the implementation, docs, and verification issues have landed.

This is a review/refinement issue, not a feature expansion issue.

Scope

  • Re-read the final vimdoc for ++layout=stacked and confirm the public wording is accurate, concise, and consistent with existing help style.
  • Specifically review the helpdoc phrasing for:
    • :Gdiff and :Greview signatures and parameter descriptions;
    • side-aware line-number semantics;
    • the ASCII example around replacements;
    • highlight group wording for dual and single rails.
  • Review the final code shape across the stacked-layout PR series for small architecture cleanups that are easier to see after the full feature exists.
  • Look for unnecessary duplication, awkward naming, over-scoped helpers, missing ownership boundaries, or stale comments/types introduced during the series.
  • Confirm the final implementation still matches Tracker: stacked generated diff layout #358’s accepted non-goals: no public config, no split-layout behavior changes, and no rewrite of generated hunk metadata.

Non-goals

  • Do not add new stacked-layout behavior unless it is needed to fix a bug found during review.
  • Do not rename public user-facing options after docs have landed unless the tracker owner explicitly approves it.
  • Do not perform broad unrelated refactors.

Acceptance criteria

  • Helpdoc language is reviewed and adjusted if necessary.
  • Any small stacked-layout code cleanups are made, or explicitly deemed unnecessary.
  • The final code and docs still align with Tracker: stacked generated diff layout #358’s accepted decisions.
  • The root tracker can be closed after this issue and the final verification issue are complete.

Verification

  • Run docs checks if vimdoc changed.
  • Run targeted tests for any code touched by review cleanup.
  • If no changes are required, note the review result in the PR body for this issue.
