** Preeee*cise*ly ** what I'm currently doing with Leo
 
My "B" branch, contains a "parallel" tree, starting out with a different 
top-level node and clones of those branches I haven't touched yet. When I 
want to create an edited version of a given node in the branch, I have to 
create new parent nodes all the way back to the root; this allows me to 
replace the "A" branch's nodes with mine freely once they and mine are 
fellow siblings of the "B" parent.

The @nosent output of the B branch is "diffable" against the original 
@shadow output from the A branch, only so long as I keep the two structures 
relatively parallel. I have found however that I end up refactoring, 
reorganizing the structure, or the text too much to continue doing this for 
long, but the node's clone marks make it pretty easy to see which of B's 
nodes are mine vs the originals from A.

Not sure what you mean by this. What I'm looking for is the ability to 
somehow flag all clone-instances of a given node as protected from editing 
within Leo. That's all that makes sense to me anyway, and my understanding 
is that - both from the POV of storage and that of Leo's code - there is 
only one node in both locations so that's all that would be possible.
