Stack position: S1 — first implementation PR of the SDK maturity program (plan step 0.1; see bomly-cli#411). Targets #4; retarget to main when #4 merges.

Adds an api-compat CI job that runs gorelease against the latest release tag:

  • Incompatible exported-API changes fail the job unless the PR carries the api:break-approved label — every break becomes a reviewed, deliberate act, which is what the v0 policy needs once the identity rework (ADR-0036) starts.
  • Operational gorelease errors fail regardless of the label, so the escape hatch can't mask a broken job.
  • Full-history checkout (fetch-depth: 0) because baseline resolution needs tags; go run golang.org/x/exp/cmd/gorelease@latest runs in its own module context so the existing tidy-drift check is untouched.

Landing now is deliberate: the baseline (v0.4.2 == current main) is trivially clean, so the first CI run proves the gate green. Verified locally in a clean worktree: gorelease -base=v0.4.2 → "Suggested version: v0.4.3", exit 0.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Tests
    • Added automated checks to detect breaking changes to the public API.
    • API compatibility checks compare changes against the latest release and skip validation when no release exists.
    • Unapproved compatibility issues now fail CI, while explicitly approved breaking changes can proceed.

Adds an api-compat job that diffs the exported Go API against the
latest release tag. Incompatible changes fail the job unless the PR
carries the api:break-approved label, making every break a reviewed,
deliberate act; operational gorelease errors fail regardless of the
label. The job checks out full history because baseline resolution
needs tags, and runs gorelease via 'go run @latest' so the module's
own tidy-drift check is not perturbed. Plan step 0.1; lands while the
baseline (v0.4.2 == HEAD) is trivially clean so the first run proves
the gate green.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The CI workflow adds an api-compat job. The job compares the exported Go API with the latest release tag. It skips repositories without a release tag and requires the api:break-approved label for incompatible changes.

Changes

API Compatibility Validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
API compatibility workflow job
.github/workflows/ci.yml
The workflow checks out full history, resolves the latest release tag, runs gorelease, and handles missing baselines, approved incompatibilities, and operational errors.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 0983b

This change adds API compatibility enforcement, but the current workflow may select the wrong comparison baseline and may allow tool failures to pass when an approval label is present, causing incompatible API changes to be missed or valid changes to be rejected. The job also introduces a bounded CI supply-chain exposure from executing an unpinned tool with checkout credentials, so merge should wait for the CI correctness issues to be addressed or explicitly accepted.

A rabbit checks the API trail
Tags mark the path through every tale
gorelease hops from branch to branch
Approved breaks receive a chance

The api-compat job runs only on pull_request events: a push run on
main has no PR labels, so a just-merged approved break would fail main
until the next tag moved the baseline. gorelease is pinned to an exact
x/exp pseudo-version per the repository's dependency convention instead
of resolving latest on every run. The pull_request trigger gains the
labeled/unlabeled activity types so applying the api:break-approved
escape hatch actually re-evaluates the gate.

- Around line 68-76: Update the status-handling flow around the
incompatible-change check so a nonzero status from gorelease is rejected before
evaluating BREAK_APPROVED. Preserve approval-label acceptance only when the
report is a clean incompatible-change result, and retain the existing failure
behavior for other nonzero statuses.

The baseline is now the latest stable tag reachable from HEAD
(--merged plus a strict vX.Y.Z pattern), so prerelease tags and tags
from other histories cannot become the diff base. The job's actions
are pinned to immutable revisions and the checkout no longer persists
credentials — it only reads local Git metadata. Version errors in the
gorelease report now fail before the approval label is consulted: the
escape hatch accepts a clean incompatible-changes report, never a run
that also reported errors.
