It builds both branches with instrumentation, runs the same test suite on each, and diffs the recorded arguments and return values. In that example, selectDiscount returns a different discount and the order total goes 85 → 60. Neither function is in the diff; only the sort helper is. The tests still pass — one asserts the total is positive, and 60 is positive.
