API Compatibility
Review standard
For public or cross-repository API contracts, verify that producer changes preserve compatibility for existing consumers.
Flag changes that:
- remove response fields without a compatibility window
- rename fields consumed by frontend or worker services
- add enum values without updating exhaustive consumer handling
- change endpoint parameters without updating known clients
Findings should name the producer surface, identify the consumer impact, and prefer migration-safe changes when possible.
