# DriftLock

**Dependabot for API changes.**
**Self-maintaining APIs.**

Your vendor renames a field. Your code breaks silently. You find out at 2am.
API providers announce changes. DriftLock applies them to your codebase.

DriftLock notices the change before you do, opens a PR with the fix, and you review and merge.
When Stripe ships a breaking change or a new feature, DriftLock scans your codebase, identifies affected usages, and opens a PR with the fix.

Align the published workflow with the implemented CLI.

These claims describe automatic vendor-change intake, call-site discovery, test classification, sandbox shape capture, API-shape diffing, and PR creation as available. The current code does not provide this end-to-end workflow:

  • TypeScriptExtractor only handles TypeScript stripe.* calls.
  • SandboxRunner returns an empty trafficCaptured list, and the CLI disables network access.
  • diff reports Git file changes through GitTracker; it does not compare API snapshots.
  • The fix command exits with “Fix generation is not yet available.”
  • Agent.generateFix accepts an existing DriftEvent and call-site context, but the CLI does not connect it to a workflow.
  • BLUEPRINT.md lists GitHub PR generation as a future implementation step, and docs/architecture.md lists new-feature discovery as out of scope for v1.

Rewrite the claims in README.md and docs/yc-application.md as roadmap behavior, or limit them to the implemented analyze, test, and Git-change commands.

In `@README.md` at line 11, Update the claims at README.md lines 11 and 61-65 and
docs/yc-application.md line 9 to match the implemented CLI: describe only the
available analyze, test, and Git-change commands, or explicitly frame
vendor-change intake, API diffing, fix generation, and PR creation as roadmap
behavior. Keep the documentation consistent with the current
TypeScriptExtractor, SandboxRunner, GitTracker, and Agent.generateFix
capabilities.

## Why DriftLock

You already use Dependabot for dependency updates. Renovate for version bumps. CodeRabbit for AI review.

But when Stripe renames `charge.amount` to `charge.value` — nothing catches it.
## Why DriftLock

Changelogs don't get read. Docs drift from reality. SDK migration guides sit in bookmarks you'll never open. **30%+ of downtime at a major cloud provider was traced to unnoticed external API changes.**
API communication is broken. Breaking changes ship with little warning. Useful features quietly launch and go unnoticed. Changelogs don't get read.

The cost always lands on you the consumer not the vendor who made the change.
The cost always lands on you (the consumer), not the vendor who made the change.

DriftLock fills the gap: it watches your actual API usage, compares it against what the vendor's API _actually returns_ today, and opens a PR when they diverge. No vendor cooperation. No spec publication. No manual doc-checking.
DriftLock makes APIs self-maintaining. When a vendor changes something, your codebase updates automatically. You review the PR and merge. No manual scanning. No migration guides. No 2am pages.

## How it works

Install GitHub App → Discover call sites → Classify tests →
Probe sandbox → Diff specs → Open PR → Report coverage

| Step | What happens |
| ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Discover** | Static analysis finds every `stripe.*` call in your codebase |
| **Classify** | Identifies which tests hit real sandbox vs. mocked |
| **Probe** | Runs your tests, captures actual request/response shapes |
| **Diff** | Compares new snapshot against previous — shape change = drift |
| **Fix** | Opens a PR with the diff and a suggested fix |
| **Report** | Shows which call sites are monitored, blind, or untested |

## Why not Renovate / Dependabot?

They update the version number in `package.json`. They don't change your code.

When `stripe.charges.create({ amount: 100 })` needs to become `stripe.charges.create({ value: 100 })`, Renovate doesn't touch that. DriftLock does.

Replace the Stripe migration example.

Stripe’s Charges API requires amount and currency; value is not the replacement shown here. As written, readers can copy an invalid request. (docs.stripe.com)

Use a provider-neutral example

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

## Why not just semver?

Semver is a convention, not a guarantee. Many APIs don't follow it strictly. And even when they do, upgrading major versions means manually finding and fixing every affected call site — which is why teams avoid it.

DriftLock works regardless of versioning scheme. It monitors the actual API surface, not the version number.

---

## Why not just test coverage?

High test coverage helps — if your tests aren't mocked. Most are. DriftLock classifies which tests actually hit the real API vs. which just mock the response. You can't catch API drift with mocked tests.

---

## First target: Stripe

Stripe has mature test mode, huge installed base, predictable API versioning, and plenty of design partners.
Stripe has mature test mode, huge installed base, and plenty of teams stuck on old API versions. First vendor — not the only one.

Support for Twilio, Shopify, and others is on the roadmap.
