### Deprecation Warnings

v2.0 emits three different things, and it is worth knowing which is which. The first two are
about the old namespaces; the third is about the driver features 2.1 removes.
v2.0 emits four different things, and it is worth knowing which is which. The first two are
about the old namespaces; the third is about the driver features 2.1 removes; the fourth is
about options that never did anything.

Everything 2.1 removes warns in 2.0, and every warning names 2.1. Nothing you can still write
in 2.0 does nothing quietly — if a setting is on its way out, or was never read at all, you
hear about it once per process.

Some legacy names never warn individually, and that is deliberate — the migration notice above is
the signal for all of them:

- **Requiring the gem.** `require "capybara_screenshot_diff/minitest"` etc. is not deprecated.
- **The DSL.** `screenshot`, `assert_matches_screenshot`, `capture_screenshot` are never deprecated.
- **Settings access.** `Capybara::Screenshot.blur_active_element`, `Capybara::Screenshot::Diff.tolerance=`
and the `Diff.configure` block are plain delegators onto `SnapDiff.config`. There is no

Scope canonical suppression to the internal umbrella load.

When a process first requires snap_diff-capybara and later requires capybara-screenshot-diff, the later v1 entry point runs this method after @canonical_entry was permanently set. Line 79 then suppresses its migration notice. This leaves an explicit v1-named require silent.

Use a scoped canonical-load marker, and clear it with ensure after the internal require "capybara_screenshot_diff". Add a subprocess test for this ordered require sequence.
