Fix spec-drift false positives from date-only description changes by Copilot · Pull Request #49 · ionq/ionq-core-python

Copilot · 2026-05-25T17:48:41Z

Summary

The weekly spec-drift workflow was firing on a date-only change in info.description (*Last updated: May 15, 2026* → May 22, 2026), with no actual API surface changes.

spec-drift.yml — adds a norm() shell helper that runs jq -S 'del(.info.description)' to sort keys and drop the description field in one step, then uses <(norm openapi.json) and <(norm /tmp/latest-spec.json) in the existing diff one-liner. Date bumps (and any other description-only changes) no longer open false-positive issues; real schema/endpoint changes still trigger the alert.

openapi.json is left unchanged — since the workflow now ignores description-only diffs, updating the vendored date is unnecessary and keeps the diff minimal.

Test plan

Verified the norm() logic in isolation: date-only deltas produce no diff; non-date changes (e.g. title rename) still surface correctly. All 242 unit tests pass at 100% branch coverage.

Important

Most code in ionq_core/ is auto-generated and overwritten on regeneration.
See CONTRIBUTING.md for which files are safe to edit.

the git diff needs to be as small as possible

Reverted the openapi.json date change in 87d6d29 — since spec-drift.yml now strips the *Last updated:* line before diffing, there's no need to update the vendored spec. The PR now only touches spec-drift.yml.

ignoring or removing the date from the openapi spec should be a short addition to the existing one-liner. iterate a bit on your implementation until it's as short and simple as possible.

Done in e77159e. Replaced the multi-line strip_date helper with | sed 's/\*Last updated:[^*]*\*//' piped directly onto the existing python3 -m json.tool --sort-keys one-liner — net change is 1 line added, 12 removed.

splch

great that's closer! thank you. now make it DRY

Done in c5bd46a. Extracted the repeated pipeline into a one-line norm() shell function — the diff call now reads <(norm openapi.json) <(norm /tmp/latest-spec.json).

splch

use perl and follow existing patterns and styles to ensure the pr is short and simple.

Done in a5f2fd4 — swapped sed for perl -pe in the norm() helper. The rest of the step is unchanged.

splch

can you use jq -S instead of python's json.tool? now try to make these lines as short as possible.

splch

replace the gsub with del(.info.description)

natestemen

LGTM! The description only contains the date or is there other info that is also being dropped?

splch · 2026-05-27T18:47:55Z

@natestemen dropping the description field ignores metadata (like dates, product blurbs, status page info, notes for humans, etc) about the spec which is fine since we care about breaking contract changes
