Treat Version Parsing and Dependency Boundaries as Compatibility Surfaces

Summary#

A recurring theme was breakage caused by upstream toolchain evolution rather than core logic changes. The recommended pattern is to centralize ownership for compatibility glue, parse real-world version formats defensively, and accept forward-compatible variants where the underlying semantics have not changed.

Problem#

Projects broke when they assumed exact version shapes, duplicated adapter logic across package boundaries, or tied integration code too tightly to one upstream format. In the PR set this showed up as unsupported lockfile versions, semver ranges rejected as invalid, verbose CLI version strings poisoning generated config, and framework-specific compatibility code living in the wrong repository.

Solution#

Move compatibility logic to the component that owns the behavior, normalize version output before validation, parse ranges instead of exact strings when the contract allows it, and update pinned upstream integrations in a targeted way with regression coverage. Design parsers around stable semantics, not incidental formatting.

Failure Modes#

  • Rejecting valid new lockfile or config versions because the parser only knows old enumerations
  • Assuming exact semantic versions where the public contract allows ranges
  • Keeping duplicate conversion or adapter logic in two repos and letting them drift
