Export API artifacts

Run this after regenerating sources or changing Rust code that can affect a crate's public API.

Default workflow

1. Collect changed non-deleted files from Git. By default, use both staged and unstaged local changes:

   { git diff --staged --name-only --diff-filter=d; git diff --name-only --diff-filter=d; git ls-files --others --exclude-standard -- 'sdk'; } | sort -u
   

2. If the user wants branch-based detection instead, diff against the merge base with main:

   base="$(git merge-base main HEAD)"
   git diff --name-only --diff-filter=d "$base"...HEAD | sort -u
   

   This branch-based mode only considers tracked branch changes; use the default local-change mode when untracked files should also trigger API regeneration.

3. Assume service crates live under sdk/<service-directory>/<crate-name>. For each changed file under sdk/, derive the candidate crate directory from the first three path segments and keep it only when <crate-directory>/Cargo.toml exists.

4. For each affected crate, run the explicit generator command from the repository root:

   cargo run --manifest-path eng/tools/generate_api/Cargo.toml -- \
     --manifest-path <crate>/Cargo.toml
   

Optional outputs

• Pass --review to also generate api.metadata.yml, api.md.map, and api.documentation.patch.

No changed crates

If no changed files map to a crate directory under sdk/<service-directory>/<crate-name>, stop and report that no crate API artifacts need regeneration.

Validation

After generation, check the resulting api.md files in git diff and report which crates were updated.
