Summary

  • Document sdk-compliance.yaml in AGENTS.md (new "Capability Compliance" section, plus references from "Adding a New Feature", "Fixing a Bug", and the AI-agent checklist): any public API change updates the manifest in the same commit, including symbols a refactor deletes.
  • Add scripts/check-compliance.sh: a local developer tool that dumps the current public symbol graph via swift package dump-symbol-graph, normalizes it the same way upstream's normalize-symbolgraph.ts does, and diffs it against everything sdk-compliance.yaml declares. It fails on stale entries (manifest symbols the code no longer has) and reports never-declared symbols as advisory only, since that backlog predates this script and is already covered by the remote gate's new-symbol check. It backs up and restores Package.resolved, since dump-symbol-graph dirties it as a side effect.
  • Fix a real latent bug the script found while being validated against main: sdk-compliance.yaml declared AuthLocalStorage.defaultLocalStorage, which was never a real symbol — the static property actually lives on AuthClient.Configuration.defaultLocalStorage.

Why this isn't wired into ci.yml

.github/workflows/validate-capabilities.yml already calls supabase/sdk's reusable compliance workflow on every PR, and that workflow already detects both newly added public API and registered symbols the code no longer has. The real gap is that this workflow isn't a required status check on main (branch protection only requires CI Success and the WIP/draft gate), so a failing compliance check doesn't block a merge.

I initially tried closing that gap by adding a compliance job to ci.yml that runs this script as part of the required CI Success check. That turned out to be unreliable on this repo's blacksmith-6vcpu-macos-latest runner: swift package dump-symbol-graph crashes there while extracting the synthetic SupabasePackageTests aggregate test target ("Couldn't load module ... in the current SDK and search paths"), even pinned to the same Xcode version used locally, silently dropping scattered real public symbols and producing false stale-entry failures. Rather than ship a required check that's less reliable than the one it's meant to backstop, I dropped that job and kept the script local-only — run it yourself before pushing a public-API change.

Test plan

  • ./scripts/check-compliance.sh passes on main; verified it actually catches drift by injecting a fake stale symbol and confirming a non-zero exit.
  • ./scripts/format.sh — no changes.
  • ./scripts/spell-check.sh — 389 files checked, 0 issues.
  • swift test — 1313 tests in 138 suites passed (12 known issues, pre-existing).
  • ci.yml is now identical to main.

Fixes SDK-1643

AGENTS.md never mentioned sdk-compliance.yaml, so the SDK-1624 migration
shipped 43 commits with 15 deleted symbols still declared in the manifest
before the final review caught it — the remote gate only reports on new
symbols, not stale ones.

- Document the manifest in AGENTS.md (Capability Compliance section, Common
  Tasks, and the AI-agent checklist): any public API change updates it in
  the same commit.
- Add scripts/check-compliance.sh, which dumps the current public symbol
  graph and diffs it against everything sdk-compliance.yaml declares. It
  fails on stale entries (the SDK-1624 failure mode) and reports
  never-declared symbols as advisory, since that backlog predates this
  script and is already covered by the remote gate's new-symbol check.
- Wire it into ci.yml as a required job alongside spell-check/docs/format.
- Fix a stale/wrong path the script found while validating itself:
  AuthLocalStorage.defaultLocalStorage was never a real symbol — the
  static property lives on AuthClient.Configuration.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added automated verification to keep documented SDK capabilities aligned with the available public API.
    • Added checks for outdated capability declarations, with clear warnings for undocumented public symbols.
  • Documentation

    • Updated session persistence guidance to reference the current configuration setting.
    • Clarified capability compliance workflows for development and troubleshooting.
  • Chores

    • Integrated capability compliance checks into the continuous integration success gate.

Walkthrough

The pull request adds a compliance job to CI and makes the overall CI gate depend on it. The new script extracts Swift public symbols, compares them with sdk-compliance.yaml, reports uncovered symbols, and fails for stale declarations. The manifest updates the session persistence symbol. AGENTS.md documents the manifest and local validation requirements for public API changes.

⚠️ Capability matrix drift detected

The following capabilities are marked implemented in the matrix but could not be found in swift:

  • functions.invocation.streaming_response → expected symbol: FunctionsClient._invokeWithStreamedResponse

The following capabilities are marked implemented in swift but have no registered symbols to verify:

  • auth.passkey.register_passkey (no symbols list — cannot confirm implementation exists)
  • auth.passkey.sign_in_with_passkey (no symbols list — cannot confirm implementation exists)
  • client.observability.trace_propagation (no symbols list — cannot confirm implementation exists)
  • database.using_modifiers.request_cancellation (no symbols list — cannot confirm implementation exists)
  • functions.invocation.request_cancellation (no symbols list — cannot confirm implementation exists)
  • storage.file_buckets.url_cache_nonce (no symbols list — cannot confirm implementation exists)

These may have been renamed, removed, or never registered. Please update the capability matrix.
See: https://github.com/supabase/sdk/blob/main/packages/capability-matrix/docs/capability-matrix.md

The remote gate (validate-sdk-compliance-swift.yml) already detects removed/stale registered symbols, not just new ones - AGENTS.md and the script's header comment claimed otherwise. The actual gap is that the remote workflow isn't a required status check on main (only CI Success and the WIP/draft gate are), so a failing compliance check doesn't block a merge. Corrected both to describe that instead.

Fail closed when current symbol graphs cannot be generated.

The extraction failure is suppressed, after which cached graphs may be scanned. If generation fails, stale data can retain deleted symbols and let the required compliance check pass incorrectly. Generate into an isolated clean location, verify that the complete current graph set was produced, and fail otherwise.

Source: MCP tools

The blacksmith-6vcpu-macos-latest runner's default Xcode aborted swift package dump-symbol-graph partway through extraction (failed on the synthetic SupabasePackageTests target), silently dropping real public symbols (e.g. actor-isolated AuthClient members) and producing false stale-entry reports. Other jobs on this runner (examples) already pin Xcode 26.4 for similar reasons; do the same here, matching the toolchain this was validated against locally.

Also make the script warn instead of silently swallowing a non-zero dump-symbol-graph exit, since that can mean incomplete extraction rather than the benign test-target-only failure it's tolerated for.

Fail closed when symbol-graph extraction is incomplete.

swift package dump-symbol-graph runs without a fresh isolated --scratch-path, while .github/workflows/ci.yml restores .build from cache. This branch converts a non-zero exit into a warning and continues. A failed extraction can leave stale or incomplete graphs for the later comparison, so deleted public symbols can remain invisible and the required check can pass incorrectly. Use an isolated scratch path, validate the complete graph set, and exit non-zero when extraction is incomplete.

Verify with a pre-populated .build and a forced non-zero extraction. Confirm that no cached graph reaches the comparison and that the checker fails.

Drop the compliance job and its Xcode-pin step from ci.yml (now identical to main again). Keep scripts/check-compliance.sh as a local developer tool - it runs correctly on a normal machine - and adjust AGENTS.md and the script header to describe it that way instead of claiming CI wiring.
