+### feat: make flatpack diff friendly ([#8680](https://github.com/streetsidesoftware/cspell/pull/8680))
+
+## Pull request overview
+
+This PR introduces a new Flatpack JSON **V2** format to produce more diff-friendly serialized output, centered on a **string table** (for deduped/compact string storage) and a configurable pretty stringifier, while keeping **V1** available for compatibility.
+
+**Changes:**
+
+- Added Flatpack format selection (`V1`/`V2`) and implemented V2 packing/unpacking primitives (string table + negative string refs) plus metadata/annotation helpers.
+- Updated `stringifyFlatpacked` to support diff-friendly, line-batched formatting for arrays (configurable via options).
+- Expanded optimization and test coverage for V2 (including circular structures), plus supporting utilities (Trie, WeakCache, RefCounter).
