As for what I can do about my BRZ, I plan to ask the dealer for a written warranty on the repair and a statement of work showing it was just a scratch repair. I just don't know if I should/can ask for some kind of compensation for diminished value.

There is no diminished value. People with thousands of dollars in damage can get a couple of hundred bucks in diminished value. You will not get squat for a two in scratch that was repainted. At this I am actually sort of dubious as to how bad the scratch was in the first place.
And obsessing over this is NOT OCD. OCD would be if there was no scratch and you kept going back to look for it anyway.
