JSONL and line-oriented version control are never going to play nicely together.

Imagine doing code review in a language where every function had to be written on one line!

The two techniques I use to dodge this:

1/ Switch from JSONL to a list of objects then pretty print it to be line oriented.

2/ Compress the test data to discourage viewing it altogether, and make people describe what’s being changed rather than leaving it up to the diff to show it.
