Doesn't that leave a hole in the logic where today's file was truncated, but grew to be larger than yesterday's file?

For example a busy Monday after a quiet Sunday?

    Good catch! I guess we'd have to add some code to cache the first line as well. If the first line is the same, do the same thing as above. If not, then cache the first line and take the whole file.
