schema-compatibility is the third check in the same Interface Integrity job,
after the two CLI interface gates. It also rejected every published parameter
type change outright. Because the earlier gates failed first and `set -e`
stopped the step from ever running, this one never surfaced in CI, so the
previous exemption only covered two thirds of the problem.
checkParameterCompatibility now consults a precise allowlist: the tool path,
parameter name and both type values must match exactly, making it
direction-sensitive by construction, and it applies only when nothing else the
gate checks about the parameter moved (default, interface_default, format,
property, interface_type, required, cli_required, required_when, enum). The type
check moved to the end of the function so the carve-out can see those findings;
ordering is unobservable because the result is sorted.
The only entry is "minutes/minutes.apply_minutes_permission" parameter "policy"
migrating from "string" to "integer" (for #912). That type is projected from the
Cobra flag type (provenance cobra_flag_type), so it describes how the CLI accepts
a value. Consumers build a command line from it, and "--policy 4" is the same
argv under either declaration — a quoted "--policy \"4\"" still reaches pflag as
4 — while RunE keeps enforcing the same [2,4] domain. The parameter maps to
property "policyId", which the command has always sent as a number, so "integer"
is closer to the actual request than "string" was.
Table values must be the canonical form schemaType emits: the JSON encoding of
the type keyword, so `"string"` with its quotes rather than a bare string. The
guard test recomputes both through schemaType and checks the decoded name
against the closed JSON Schema type set — reviewedInterfaceRefRedirect was
silently disabled twice by exactly this class of spelling mistake.
