Description

Problem

SMG needs one machine-readable source tying every regular package under
crates/** to workspace quality rules, publication state, SemVer scope, and the
existing release registries. Otherwise a nested or newly added package can escape
one of those checks.

Solution

Add a lean authoritative inventory and a fail-closed checker derived from Cargo
metadata and the repository's existing release sources. Keep generated reports and
evidence artifacts out of the repository.

Changes

  • Add governance/api-surfaces.toml as the package classification source of truth.
  • Discover packages recursively under crates/** and require workspace membership,
    workspace lint inheritance, and an allowed governance classification.
  • Validate release-workflow and version-registry mappings in both directions,
    including duplicate and path-drift failures.
  • Add focused regression tests for missing, extra, malformed, nested, and
    mismatched entries.
  • Bring mock-worker under workspace lint inheritance with behavior-preserving
    Clippy cleanups.
  • Remove the publish-disabled internal openapi-gen tool from the release version
    registry.

This changes governance validation only; it does not change runtime behavior or the
crate publication workflow.

Test Plan

  • python3.13 scripts/tests/test_check_api_governance.py
  • python3.13 scripts/check_api_governance.py --check
  • cargo +nightly fmt --all -- --check
  • PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/homebrew/opt/opencv@4/lib/pkgconfig cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings
  • PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/homebrew/opt/opencv@4/lib/pkgconfig cargo test -- --test-threads=1

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added a centralized inventory of package API classifications, ownership, versioning, and release channels.
    • Added validation tooling to identify missing, inconsistent, or unsupported governance metadata.
    • Added a generated Markdown inventory for easier review of package release information.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved release-version checks by excluding the OpenAPI generator client from workspace version tracking.
  • Tests

    • Added comprehensive coverage for inventory parsing, governance validation, release workflows, version tracking, and deterministic documentation output.

Walkthrough

The PR adds a schema-versioned governance manifest, a Cargo-metadata-driven validator, release and version-registry coverage checks, deterministic Markdown generation, and pytest coverage for validation and rendering behavior.

Changes

API governance and release coverage

Layer / File(s) Summary
Governance inventory contract
governance/api-surfaces.toml, scripts/check_api_governance.py, scripts/tests/test_check_api_governance.py
Defines package classifications, publication states, SemVer settings, release channels, and ownership metadata.
Inventory validation and release coverage
scripts/check_api_governance.py, scripts/check_release_versions.sh, scripts/tests/test_check_api_governance.py
Normalizes Cargo metadata, parses release and version registries, and validates classifications, paths, publication states, SemVer rules, and coverage.
Validation orchestration and inventory output
scripts/check_api_governance.py, governance/api-surface-inventory.md, scripts/tests/test_check_api_governance.py
Adds schema-first validation, deterministic Markdown rendering, stale-document checks, error reporting, and mutually exclusive --check and --write-doc modes.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 8f13c

The checker can still accept a release-workflow entry whose path points to a different package, allowing the release inventory and published package to diverge. Merge should wait for path validation to be enforced or for this bounded risk to be explicitly accepted.

🟡 Nit: This fixture sets release = "none" for a version-locked-binding package, but CLASSIFICATION_RULES requires version-locked-binding to have release = "core-version-sync". The test passes because it only exercises load_inventory (parsing), not validate_inventory, so the inconsistency is harmless — but a reader might mistake this for a valid combination.

🟡 Nit: The schema-version check runs after load_inventory and validate_inventory have already parsed and validated the data. If a future schema-version 2 renames fields or changes structure, load_inventory could silently produce wrong results (or crash), and the validation errors would be confusing noise alongside the schema-version mismatch.

Moving the schema check before load_inventory would short-circuit cleanly. As a bonus, _inventory_schema_error() re-reads and re-parses the same TOML file — hoisting the check lets you parse once and reuse the data.

Fixed in 388323f. Schema version is now checked from a single TOML parse before package fields or Cargo metadata are read. A focused schema-version 2 fixture with renamed fields now reports only the unsupported-schema error instead of a field-parsing failure.

🔴 Important Preserve and validate release-workflow paths.

release_crates discards each workflow path. validate_release_coverage therefore accepts a matching crate name even when the workflow points to a different directory. The release job can act on the wrong package while this check passes.

Return crate-to-path mappings, reject duplicate crate entries, and compare each release-crates inventory path with the workflow path. Add a regression test for a matching name with a mismatched workflow path.

Addressed the latest CodeRabbit release-path finding in 60450ed. The workflow parser now preserves crate-to-path mappings, rejects duplicate crate names and paths, and validates each release-governed inventory path. The regression suite was red at 3 failures, then green at 16 focused tests and 39 total script tests; the live checker, pre-commit hooks, and diff hygiene also pass.

🟡 Nit: The error message says "publishable crate" but this check fires for every entry with release == "release-crates", which includes external-application packages like smg that are not publishable (publish = false / semver = false). If smg were ever missing from the workflow, the error would read "publishable crate missing from release-crates workflow: smg" — misleading when debugging.

Fixed in 31a2108 — the diagnostic now says release-governed package, which is accurate for both publishable crates and the externally released smg application; both focused expectations and the full 18-test suite pass.

🔴 Important: Nothing in the repo ever invokes this checker, so the "fail-closed" guarantee in the PR description does not hold.

$ grep -rn "check_api_governance" .github/ .pre-commit-config.yaml Makefile*
(no matches)

scripts/tests/ is also not collected by any job — pr-test-rust.yml runs pytest only against tests, grpc_servicer/tests, and e2e_test/{infra,fixtures,benchmarks}. So today a new nested crate under crates/** that skips [lints] workspace = true, omits an inventory entry, or drifts from release-crates.yml merges green: the only thing that would catch it is a script no CI job runs.

Wiring is needed for this PR to deliver its stated value — either a step in pr-test-rust.yml running python3 scripts/check_api_governance.py --check plus pytest -q scripts/tests, or a .pre-commit-config.yaml hook.

Separately on this line: --check is now the only flag, required=True, and parse_args()'s result is discarded — the flag is pure ceremony. Since --write-doc is gone, either drop the argument entirely or keep it and document why it is mandatory.

🔴 Important: This push deletes 476 lines of tests, including the regression tests added earlier in this same PR to close review findings. Those bugs are now unguarded:

  • test_packages_from_metadata_normalizes_crates_and_filters_out_of_scope — added in b2a0cd1 to fix the nested-crate bypass (crates/foo/bar was silently skipped). The new test_crate_manifests_... test covers nesting for crate_manifests, but not for packages_from_metadata, which is where the bug actually was. Reintroducing if len(relative_path.parts) != 2 would keep the suite green.
  • test_check_reports_unsupported_schema_before_parsing_package_fields — added in 388323f to fix the schema-check ordering. _inventory_schema_error and its early return in _run() are now entirely untested; reordering the check back after _inventory_entries() would keep the suite green.
  • test_release_crates_rejects_duplicate_namesrelease_crates still raises ValueError("duplicate release-workflow crate: ...") (and there is analogous duplicate-path/version_registry_crates logic), all now untested.
  • test_version_registry_crates_reads_only_the_crates_array — the VERSION_REGISTRY_ENTRY regex and the "stop at the closing paren so PYTHON_PACKAGES is ignored" behavior are now untested. That parser is the most brittle part of the script.
  • test_publish_state_must_match_classification / test_published_library_requires_semver_and_release_governanceCLASSIFICATION_RULES enforcement and the publishable/private/lib-target checks are now only exercised transitively.

Dropping test_write_doc_rejects_missing_release_coverage and test_render_inventory_* is correct since those features were removed. The rest are load-bearing. Note the PR description still claims "Add focused regression tests for missing, extra, malformed, nested, and mismatched entries" — after this push that is no longer accurate.

🟡 Nit: rglob("Cargo.toml") walks everything under crates/, including untracked build output. target/ is gitignored but still present on disk, and cargo package/cargo publish --dry-run writes target/package/<crate>-<version>/Cargo.toml. If any crate ends up with a local target/ (e.g. CARGO_TARGET_DIR set per-crate, or a vendored fixture), the checker reports a false failure that a developer cannot fix by editing the repo:

crates/ manifest is not a workspace member: crates/mcp/target/package/smg-mcp-0.1.0
crates/ manifest must use [lints] workspace = true: crates/mcp/target/package/smg-mcp-0.1.0

Skipping any path containing a target component (or, more robustly, deriving the manifest list from git ls-files 'crates/**/Cargo.toml') makes discovery match what is actually versioned.

Two smaller points on the same function:

  • If crates/ is ever absent or renamed, rglob returns empty and the whole all-manifests check passes vacuously rather than failing closed.
  • A non-member manifest emits two errors (not a workspace member and must use [lints] workspace = true), since a manifest that Cargo does not see can't be lint-checked meaningfully. continue after the first would keep the output readable.

🟡 Nit: This arm handles -h/--help too, not just errors — config.rs returns Err(usage()) for the help flags. Routing it through tracing::error! means mock-worker --help now prints the multi-line usage block as a timestamped ERROR event:

2026-08-26T15:04:11.123456Z ERROR mock_worker: Usage: mock-worker [OPTIONS]
  --http-count <N>   ...

Previously eprintln! emitted clean text. This is a behavior change in a commit described as "behavior-preserving Clippy cleanups", and help output at ERROR level is the wrong severity.

If the goal is just to satisfy clippy::print_stderr (which is warn in [workspace.lints.clippy], promoted by -D warnings), consider separating the two paths — return help text distinctly from parse errors, print help with an #[expect(clippy::print_stderr, reason = "CLI usage output")] eprintln! and ExitCode::SUCCESS, and keep tracing::error! for genuine parse failures.

🟡 Nit: This test calls the un-monkeypatched _run(), which shells out to cargo metadata --no-deps --locked against the real workspace. That makes a pure-Python unit suite depend on a Rust toolchain and a fresh Cargo.lock — it will fail with API governance check failed: Command '['cargo', ...]' returned non-zero exit status 101 in any environment without cargo, and the failure will look like a governance violation rather than a missing tool.

It is also a happy-path-only assertion: it verifies the repo is currently consistent, not that any validator detects drift. Combined with the unit tests deleted in this push, it is now the only coverage for _inventory_schema_error, release_crates, and version_registry_crates, and it cannot fail for any of the reasons those functions exist.

Worth keeping as a smoke test, but gate it (pytest.importorskip-style shutil.which("cargo") skip) and restore the deterministic unit tests alongside it.

Confirmed this concretely in a cargo-less checkout — the actual failure is a raw FileNotFoundError, not a non-zero exit, because the test calls module._run() directly and so bypasses the try/except in main():

$ python3 scripts/check_api_governance.py --check
API governance check failed: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'cargo'
