📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change adds context-aware snapshot comparison to the internal diff engine and exposes snapshot diff types, validation, cancellation handling, drift detection, and table rendering through the v1 client. The CLI now uses the public client API. Tests cover comparison results, invalid inputs, context errors, partial-result discard, and table output. Integrator documentation and a runnable example describe the new workflow.

- Around line 68-69: Update the public API table’s type-role descriptions:
remove SnapshotDiffOptions from the result shapes and document it as the input
to Client.DiffSnapshots. Clarify that SnapshotChangeKind represents added,
removed, and modified values, while SnapshotChangeSeverity represents severity
and uses SnapshotChangeSeverityInfo for informational changes.
In `@pkg/client/v1/diff.go`:
- Around line 125-127: Update DiffSnapshots and the diff.Snapshots comparison
traversal to propagate the context and check cancellation during each
long-running loop, returning the context error promptly when cancelled. Add a
test that cancels after comparison begins and verifies the comparison stops with
the cancellation error.
- Around line 110-123: Wrap errors at each snapshot-diff API boundary with
pkg/errors while preserving the original error code and cause: in
pkg/client/v1/diff.go lines 110-123, cover requireSnapshotDiffPayload,
Client.assertOpen, and snapshotDiffContextError with baseline/target
snapshot-diff context; wrap the post-comparison context failure at lines 126-127
with comparison context, the result-mapping failure at lines 142-143 with
mapping context, and the table-writer failure at line 185 with table-rendering
context. In pkg/cli/diff.go lines 129-130, wrap the facade failure with CLI
snapshot-diff context.

Review — multi-persona + adversarial meta-review
Method: 4 parallel persona reviewers (Correctness · SDK/API-contract · Domain & Architecture · CI-DX/Operability) → a senior meta-reviewer re-deriving each finding from the resolved code at 91678e9c.
Legend: 🔴 Blocker · 🟠 Major · 🟡 Minor · 🔵 Nitpick
Clean, well-tested additive SDK change. The facade↔internal translation preserves aicr diff output semantics exactly (kinds, severity, paths, summary counts, ordering, and the absent-vs-present-empty *string distinction); the new public surface is consistent with existing facade conventions; and the context-cancellation plumbing through pkg/diff is real and genuinely tested (mid-traversal cancel asserts a nil result and distinct Canceled/Timeout codes). No blocker or major findings survived meta-review — one Minor (inline) and eight Nitpicks, none a live defect introduced by this PR. Approving with comments.
Note: @mchmarny's earlier CHANGES_REQUESTED was on head
690dd865; the branch has since been rebased to91678e9c. Both of those P1 blockers are independently confirmed addressed on the current head (table below).
Prior-feedback status
| Prior finding | Status | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| @mchmarny P1 — cancellation not effective during comparison | ✔️ Addressed | pkg/diff now has SnapshotsWithContext + ctx.Err() threaded through the full traversal; TestSnapshotsWithContext_MidTraversalCancellation asserts result == nil + correct code + cause |
| @mchmarny P1 — stale v0.18 api-diff acknowledgement | ✔️ Addressed | pkg/client/v1/api-diff-exceptions.yaml is now acknowledgements: [] (matches main) |
| CodeRabbit — public-api type-role wording | ✔️ Addressed (09dd9c9) | Current table verified correct |
| CodeRabbit — "wrap errors at boundaries" (Minor) | ⊘ Not a violation | Every new return err passes through an error that already carries a proper pkg/errors code → per the repo's "don't double-wrap errors that already have proper codes" rule, pass-through is correct |
Findings
🟡 Minor — missing JSON/YAML wire-schema golden test → see inline comment on pkg/client/v1/diff.go.
🔵 F1 — one-sided topology hydration failure → asymmetric drop → spurious drift (pre-existing). pkg/diff/topology.go:178: alignMeasurement aligns base and target independently with per-side local copies of the plan p; if topology.HydrateItems fails on exactly one side it sets p.dropData=false locally and keeps folded Data + un-hydrated Items, while the other side has Data=nil + hydrated Items → compareMeasurements emits spurious added/removed changes that could flip aicr diff --fail-on-drift. Mechanism confirmed, but this logic is pre-existing (this PR only added ctx plumbing around it) and reachability is low. Suggest a separate follow-up issue rather than gating this PR.
🔵 F3 — manual facade↔internal struct mirror can silently drop a future field. pkg/client/v1/diff.go:143: result types are hand-mirrored from pkg/diff with total string casts. No current loss (only SeverityInfo is emitted; severity round-trips). Hazard: a new field added to diff.Change would be silently omitted on the facade path with no compiler error. The golden/parity test suggested inline covers this too.
🔵 F4 — final ctx.Err() checks after O(1) statements. pkg/diff/diff.go:228-230 (after Summary.Total) and :210-212 (after sort.Slice) can only turn an already-complete result into an error on exact-timing cancel — a deliberate fail-closed "no partial result" choice, not a regression. Safe to leave.
🔵 F5 — redundant belt-and-suspenders ctx.Err() checks bracketing single sort/O(1) statements (e.g. pkg/diff/diff.go:380); harmless noise. Consider one check per loop iteration + one per O(n log n) sort.
🔵 F6 — assertOpen() ordered after payload validation (pkg/client/v1/diff.go:118): a closed client with a bad snapshot returns the payload error rather than the closed-client error. Both are ErrCodeInvalidRequest; cosmetic. Consistent with LoadSnapshot's precedent.
🔵 F7 — context-error classifier defaults any non-Canceled to Timeout (pkg/diff/diff.go:685, and the facade's snapshotDiffContextError): safe today (snapshots() only ever propagates ctx.Err()), latent fragility if a non-context error is ever propagated. Consider defaulting else to ErrCodeInternal + handling DeadlineExceeded explicitly.
🔵 F8 — legacy Snapshots() error branch is dead/uncovered (pkg/diff/diff.go:116): context.Background() never cancels; documented defensive code, shows as uncovered lines. Acceptable as a totality guard.
🔵 F9 — topology.go ctx checkpoints lack a topology-specific cancellation test (topology_test.go untouched, drives uncancelable context.Background()). Core loops are covered by the generic mid-traversal tests; the topology-alignment checkpoints are exercised only on their nil-return path. Small additive coverage gap.
Confirmed non-issues (examined, cleared)
- Error wrapping — all new
return errpass through codedpkg/errorserrors (correct pass-through, not bare returns). - Semantics — facade→internal copy is 1:1;
WriteTablereads only fields the facade round-trips, so double-translation drops nothing rendered. - Topology alignment logic — byte-for-byte preserved under
ctxthreading (onlyctx.Err()insertions + error plumbing added). copySnapshotDiffStringcorrect nil vs&""distinction, no aliasing;requireSnapshotDiffPayloadno false accept/reject; determinism sorted byPath+ all map keys, regression-tested; coverage no new exported func at 0%; docs (go-library.md / public-api.md) accurate incl. the "no facade cap" timeout entry.

🟡 Minor — No JSON/YAML wire-schema golden test for the facade result
The CLI now serializes *aicr.SnapshotDiff directly, so these facade struct json/yaml tags ARE the SDK's wire contract. stability_test.go pins field names/types via field-access but never marshals and asserts serialized keys or omitempty; cli/diff_test.go's JSON tests assert only drift/exit behavior. A future tag rename or a dropped omitempty on either the facade or pkg/diff would silently change aicr diff -o json/yaml output with every test still green.
Blast radius: Silent wire-format drift on the compatibility-reviewed SDK surface and the CLI's serialized output — the absent-vs-present-empty (*string + omitempty) distinction is likewise unguarded at the wire level.
Fix: Add one golden test that marshals a SnapshotDiff (added / removed / modified-to-empty change) to JSON and YAML and asserts the exact keys — ideally asserting facade output equals pkg/diff-marshaled output so the two tag sets can't diverge. This also guards F3 (a new field added to diff.Change being silently dropped on the facade path).

Summary
Expose snapshot comparison through the public
pkg/client/v1facade using facade-owned result types, while reusing the existingpkg/diffimplementation. Routeaicr diffthrough the SDK facade and preserve its table, JSON, YAML, and drift-gating behavior.Motivation / Context
Integrators need programmatic drift detection without importing the compatibility-unstable
pkg/diffpackage. This implements the snapshot diff portion of the broader facade-parity issue; mirror and trust remain separate follow-up work.Fixes: N/A
