README

Excerpt

API Changes Review

Step 1: Identify what changed

git diff $(git merge-base HEAD origin/main)...HEAD -- '**/api-report/**/*.md'

Build a summary table and present it to the user:

Package	Change type	Tag(s)	Breaking?

Change types: addition, removal, signature change, tag promotion.

If all changes are @internal-only, tell the user there are no customer-facing API changes and stop.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
