generate_change_summary
Generate a human-readable summary of all tracked changes (insertions, deletions, replacements) from a Word document. Outputs a .txt file with a numbered list showing author, date, and change details.
Instructions
Summarise tracked changes already present in the open document as an email-ready .txt.
Use this after making edits with tracked=True (the default) and saving, to produce a human-readable change log of what was modified. Reads the document's existing w:ins / w:del elements, groups adjacent deletion+insertion pairs as REPLACEMENT entries, and writes a numbered list with author, date, and text per change.
Typical workflow: open_document → edit with tracked=True → save_document → generate_change_summary
If you have two separate files to compare rather than an already-edited document, use diff_to_text instead.
Args: output_path: Destination .txt path. Auto-generated from the document stem if empty. document_handle: Optional handle for concurrent session isolation.
