Strategy for type/API changes that would break users or mixed package versions.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Breaking Change Strategy

Get users the fix now with a clean upgrade path; batch the actual break into a later release.

## Before shipping a change that could break

Check both:
- **User code**: subclasses, overrides, explicit annotations, and classes implementing exported interfaces.
- **Mixed versions**: `@data-client/rest`/`endpoint`/`graphql` aren't dependencies of `react`/`vue`/`core`, so users can pair a newer client with an older endpoint (and vice versa). Type checks in core against endpoint types must still accept older endpoint versions.

Requiring a matching version for a feature that is new in the same release is not breaking.

## When it would break

1. **Ship a compatible version**: a shim that keeps old code compiling and working (e.g. method-syntax declarations for parameter bivariance, a loose structural type instead of the strict interface, a deprecated alias).
2. **Prepare users**: in the changeset and the release's draft blog post, recommend the future-proof form now with a code example, so the later break is a no-op for them.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add reactive/data-client/.cursor/rules/breaking-changes.mdc@sha256:232c7067a562fb46

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261017.9abb86a, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
