What this is

ADR-010 changed the release plan: 2.0 deletes nothing and warns about everything; 2.1 deletes.
This is the 2.0 half. #249 keeps the deletions and now depends on this.

The contract 2.0 has to hold: everything 2.1 removes warns, every warning names 2.1, and
nothing you can still write does nothing quietly.
Master already had most of the warnings and
the SnapDiff::Removal / ::Deprecation machinery — this PR adds no second channel, it closes
the three doors that were still silent.

Why it needed probing rather than reading

2.0.0.beta3 shipped with docs/UPGRADING.md describing three warning channels and a v1-only
suite producing zero deprecation output. So every door a v1 user can come through got run in
its own subprocess, as their code — their require, their call — before and after.

Door before after
require "capybara/screenshot/diff" SILENT warns
require "capybara-screenshot-diff" SILENT warns
require "capybara_screenshot_diff" SILENT warns
require "capybara_screenshot_diff/dsl" SILENT warns
require "capybara_screenshot_diff/minitest" SILENT warns
require "capybara_screenshot_diff/rspec" SILENT warns
require "snap_diff" / "snap_diff-capybara" silent silent (canonical — must stay)
include Capybara::Screenshot::Diff warns warns
include CapybaraScreenshotDiff::DSL SILENT warns
include CapybaraScreenshotDiff::Minitest::Assertions SILENT warns
Capybara::Screenshot::Diff::ImageCompare warns ×2 warns ×2
Capybara::Screenshot::Os / ::VERSION (eager aliases) SILENT warns (via the require door)
Capybara::Screenshot.save_path= and the other 26 v1 accessors warns warns
Capybara::Screenshot::Diff.shift_distance_limit= warns ×2 warns ×2
SnapDiff.config.shift_distance_limit= behind respond_to? warns warns
SnapDiff.config.driver = :vips SILENT warns
SnapDiff.config.driver = :chunky_png (no comparison yet) SILENT warns
screenshot "x", driver: … / compare(driver: :vips) SILENT warns
compare(driver: :chunky_png) warns warns ×2
SnapDiff::Drivers.loaded / .available warns warns
compare(tolerence: 0.5) — any unrecognised key SILENT warns
SNAP_DIFF_SILENCE_DEPRECATIONS=1 over all of the above silent silent

The three holes

1. Requiring a v1 entry point was silent. Every existing channel needs the user to call
something. A suite that requires the gem and only calls screenshot touches none of them —
that is the beta3 hole exactly. Requiring a v1-named file is itself use of the v1 API, so
the migration notice now fires at the top of the entry file. lib/snap_diff-capybara.rb loads
the v1 umbrella internally, so it claims the process as canonical first and stays silent.

2. The driver setting was silent — for every value, including :vips. UPGRADING.md
documented that as unfixable ("the one removal 2.0 cannot warn you about"). It is fixable: warn
on the writer (#initialize seeds the ivar directly, so booting stays quiet) and on the raw
per-screenshot key at the two places raw user options exist, before they are merged with
config.default_options — after the merge :driver is present for everyone and proves nothing.

3. Any unrecognised per-screenshot key was silent — the general case behind
shift_distance_limit= behind a respond_to? guard. The hash was frozen but never validated,
so a misspelt tolerence: bought a green suite that compared nothing. Validated at
SnapDiff::Comparison#initialize, the one funnel every option hash reaches. 2.0 warns once per
key; 2.1 raises ArgumentError.

Running that validation over the whole suite found one live no-op: dimensions: [80, 80] in
image_compare_test.rb, a key nothing in the gem has ever read. Removed rather than pinned.

One honest limitation, now documented

SnapDiff.silence_deprecations = true cannot silence a require-time notice — setting it
needs the require that defines SnapDiff, and under Bundler.require there is no earlier
moment. SNAP_DIFF_SILENCE_DEPRECATIONS=1 is the channel that works, and docs/UPGRADING.md
now says so. There is a test asserting both halves.

docs/UPGRADING.md

Section 3's "the one removal 2.0 cannot warn you about" block was describing behaviour this PR
deletes, so it is rewritten. Section 1 gains the require door and the silencing caveat; a new
section 4 covers unknown options and lists the recognised keys.

Evidence

Every new guard was mutation-checked: break it, confirm red, restore with a targeted edit,
confirm green. One mutation (the ScreenshotMatcher seam) reded nothing on the first pass —
that seam was unguarded, and it got a test before the code went back.

rake test:unit 631 runs / 0 failures · rake test:canonical 512 runs / 0 failures ·
standardrb lib test clean.

Summary by Sourcery

Close the remaining silent compatibility paths so 2.0 warns about every API and option that 2.1 removes or rejects.

Bug Fixes:

  • Ensure all v1-named require entry points emit the 2.1 migration notice while canonical entry points remain silent.
  • Warn when users configure or pass the removed driver setting, including per-screenshot driver options.
  • Warn once for unrecognised screenshot options instead of silently ignoring them.

Enhancements:

  • Centralise validation of screenshot option keys across comparison entry points and preserve process-wide warning suppression.
  • Document the expanded deprecation channels, recognised options, driver migration, and the limitation of accessor-based silencing for require-time notices.

Documentation:

  • Update the upgrading guide to describe require-time migration notices, driver warnings, unknown-option warnings, and supported silencing mechanisms.

Tests:

  • Add subprocess coverage for legacy and canonical require behavior, driver warnings, unknown options, warning deduplication, and deprecation silencing.
  • Remove an existing test fixture option that was never supported and silently had no effect.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Deprecations
    • Legacy entry points now display a migration notice; canonical entry points remain silent.
    • Using the removed driver setting or screenshot option displays a warning, including :vips.
    • Unknown screenshot options now warn and will raise an error in version 2.1.
  • Documentation
    • Updated upgrade guidance, warning categories, removal instructions, and migration checklist for version 2.1.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds migration notices for legacy entry points, warnings for removed and unknown options, explicit driver handling, and documentation for 2.1 removals. Tests cover entry-point loading, warning suppression, option validation, DSL behavior, and updated driver cases.

Changes

Deprecation and option validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Entry-point migration notices
lib/*, test/legacy/*, test/unit/canonical_suite_has_no_legacy_refs_test.rb, test/unit/legacy_deletion_test.rb, docs/UPGRADING.md
Legacy entry points emit one migration notice. Canonical entry points remain silent. Subprocess and compatibility tests validate the loading and suppression behavior.
Removed and unknown option warnings
lib/snap_diff.rb, lib/snap_diff/*, test/unit/*, docs/UPGRADING.md
Comparison and screenshot APIs warn for driver and unknown options. Configuration assignments warn through Removal.warn_once. Tests cover warning subjects, suppression, recognized options, and :vips behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to b07e2

A legacy require can remain silent when it follows the canonical umbrella load, so affected users may miss the migration warning promised by this release. This is a bounded but concrete merge-readiness issue that should be fixed and tested before merging.

Reviewer's Guide

Implements ADR-010’s 2.0 contract that everything removed in 2.1 is warned about and that no user option is a silent no-op, by wiring require-time migration notices on v1 entry points, adding deprecation warnings for any use of the driver setting or per-screenshot driver: option, validating screenshot options to warn on unknown keys, and updating docs and tests to cover the new behavior and silencing mechanics.

File-Level Changes

Change Details Files
Require-time migration notices are fired for v1-named entry points while canonical snap_diff entry points remain silent.
  • Add SnapDiff::Deprecation.legacy_entry_point! and canonical_entry_point! to distinguish v1 entry files from canonical ones.
  • Invoke legacy/canonical entry markers at the top of v1-named files and the canonical snap_diff-capybara entry before loading the v1 umbrella.
  • Adjust legacy namespace tests to treat these markers as allowed alias-only plumbing and add probe tests for require-only behavior and silencing via env/accessor.

All uses of the driver setting or per-screenshot driver: option now emit a once-per-process deprecation warning ahead of its 2.1 removal, without warning on default config state.
  • Extend SnapDiff::Removal with a DRIVER_REMOVED message and use a shared :driver_setting subject.
  • Exclude driver from generated config writers, add a custom driver= writer that warns and sets the ivar.
  • Hook deprecation warnings into the DSL’s ScreenshotMatcher initialization and SnapDiff.compare before merging options so only user-supplied driver: values warn.
  • Update tests to assert warning behavior for config-level and per-comparison driver usage, ensure default merged options do not warn, and adjust chunky_png-related expectations.

Screenshot options are now validated centrally so unknown keys warn once per process in 2.0 and will raise in 2.1, ensuring no silent no-ops.
  • Introduce a KNOWN_OPTIONS whitelist on SnapDiff::Comparison that enumerates all options the library actually reads.
  • Validate incoming options in Comparison#initialize by diffing keys against KNOWN_OPTIONS and routing unknown ones to Removal.unknown_option(key) via warn_once.
  • Remove a previously no-op dimensions: usage from tests, and add a dedicated OptionValidationTest that probes warning content, per-process behavior, multi-key handling, validation through DSL and direct Comparison usage, and silencing via the env var.
  • Ensure a fully-specified valid comparison produces no unknown-option warnings.
lib/snap_diff/comparison.rb

Documentation for upgrading to 2.0 is updated to describe the new require-time migration channel, driver removal semantics, unknown-option warnings, and silencing limitations.
  • Change deprecation section to four channels, adding the unknown-option channel and clarifying that all 2.1 removals warn in 2.0 and never act silently.
  • Document the new require-based migration notice door, the canonical entry points that stay quiet, and the fact that silencing require-time notices requires SNAP_DIFF_SILENCE_DEPRECATIONS or an early snap_diff/deprecation require.
  • Rewrite the driver: removal section to state that any use of driver (including :vips) warns and should be deleted, and update the migration checklist to mention dropping driver: from both config and screenshot calls.
  • Add a new subsection enumerating recognized screenshot options and explaining the warning/raising behavior for unknown keys.

Scope canonical suppression to the internal umbrella load.

When a process first requires snap_diff-capybara and later requires capybara-screenshot-diff, the later v1 entry point runs this method after @canonical_entry was permanently set. Line 79 then suppresses its migration notice. This leaves an explicit v1-named require silent.

Use a scoped canonical-load marker, and clear it with ensure after the internal require "capybara_screenshot_diff". Add a subprocess test for this ordered require sequence.

ADR-010: 2.0 deletes nothing and warns about everything; 2.1 deletes. That
only works if the warnings actually reach a v1 user, and beta3 proved they
did not -- a v1-only suite produced zero deprecation output while
UPGRADING.md described three channels.

Three holes, found by probing each door a v1 user can come through in its
own subprocess (before/after table in the PR body):

REQUIRE DOORS WERE SILENT. Every existing channel needs the user to CALL
something -- a config delegator, a shimmed constant, a legacy include. A
suite that requires the gem and only calls `screenshot` touches none of
them. Requiring a v1-NAMED file is itself use of the v1 API, so the
migration notice now fires there, at the top of the entry file. The
canonical gem-name entry loads the v1 umbrella itself, so it claims the
process first and stays silent.

THE `driver` SETTING WAS SILENT. It is on the 2.1 removal list, and 2.0
said nothing for any value -- UPGRADING.md documented that as unfixable.
It is not: the writer warns (Config#initialize seeds the ivar directly, so
booting stays quiet) and so does the raw per-screenshot `driver:` key, at
the two places raw user options exist. `driver: :vips` warns too: the
warning is about the setting existing, not the value.

UNRECOGNISED OPTIONS WERE SILENT -- the general case behind
`shift_distance_limit=` behind a respond_to? guard. The per-screenshot hash
was frozen but never validated, so `tolerence:` bought a green suite that
compared nothing. Validated at SnapDiff::Comparison, the one funnel every
option hash reaches: 2.0 warns once per key, 2.1 raises.

Running that check over the whole suite found one live no-op: a
`dimensions: [80, 80]` in image_compare_test that nothing has ever read.

No new machinery -- SnapDiff::Removal / ::Deprecation already exist, are
once-per-process, and are silenced by SNAP_DIFF_SILENCE_DEPRECATIONS.
Which surfaced one honest limitation, now documented: the
`silence_deprecations` accessor cannot silence a require-time notice,
because setting it needs the require. Under Bundler.require the env var is
the only channel.

The v2.0.0 section was written before #250, #253, #254, #255, #256, #261,
#263, #264, #266 and #267 landed, and three of its claims had gone false:

- "Known limitations: fork-based parallel tests produce no HTML report ...
  Fixed in 2.1" -- fixed in 2.0 by #266. Reproduced both sides here:
  1.15.1 + `parallelize(workers: 2, threshold: 0)` writes NO report and
  prints no summary line; master writes one merged report and
  `4 verified, 4 changed, 0 new`.
- "a suite whose only contact with the v1 API is
  `require \"capybara_screenshot_diff/minitest\"` + `include ...Assertions`
  still prints nothing" -- #263 made the require doors warn. That exact
  setup now prints the migration notice; verified in a scratch project.
- "Two removals 2.0 cannot warn about ... `driver:` as a setting" -- #263
  made both the setting writer and the per-screenshot key warn. Verified:
  `Capybara::Screenshot::Diff.driver = :vips` prints the removal line with
  a call site.

And the silent-by-design constant list repeated the shape of the beta2
`defined?` mistake: it listed "Os, Region" inside a run of
`Capybara::Screenshot::Diff::` names. Probed on master --
`defined?(Capybara::Screenshot::Diff::Os)` and
`defined?(Capybara::Screenshot::Diff::Region)` are both nil. The real
names are `Capybara::Screenshot::Os` and the top-level `Region`, neither
of which existed under `::Diff` in 1.15.1 either. Fully qualified now, and
`::Comparison` added to match docs/UPGRADING.md.

New material, every claim checked against the code or a live run:

- a "why upgrade" section for the four green-suite-testing-nothing bugs
  (#255, #256, #254, #266), plus the unfollowable CI message (#267) and
  the fail_if_new precedence change
- before/after transcripts of the failure message (#264), taken from the
  same page rendered on 1.15.1 and on master
- the summary line (#261), with the fact that it comes from the HTML
  reporter and needs its one-line require -- an omission that would have
  read as a missing feature
- the #250 / #253 perf table, attributed to its harness, with columns
  labelled before/after rather than 1.x/2.0
- the libvips fix is stated as guarded on libvips 8.15+, so a reader on an
  older libvips knows the bug is still theirs

Install snippets stay pinned to 2.0.0.beta3 on purpose: `~> 2.0` resolves
to nothing on rubygems today. docs/RELEASE_PREP.md already carries a
precise step to swap all five (its grep finds exactly those five), and
gains one line so the record-modes placeholder in the entry cannot ship
unfilled.

`rake test:unit` 651 runs / 0 failures, `standardrb lib test` clean.

beta3 fixed the canonical entry points and shipped almost none of the behaviour.
beta4 is the prerelease the 2.0.0 entry actually describes: the four green-suite

  gemspec, the legacy version file and the mirror gemspec all read it. Verified
  with the release workflow's own guard command:
  `ruby -I lib -r capybara/screenshot/diff/version -e "puts Capybara::Screenshot::Diff::VERSION"`
  => 2.0.0.beta4
- CHANGELOG: a `[v2.0.0.beta4]` section written as the delta from beta3, plus the
  record-modes PLACEHOLDER filled from #259 now that it has shipped.
  `grep -n PLACEHOLDER CHANGELOG.md` returns nothing.
- Install snippets moved beta3 -> beta4 in README, docs/UPGRADING.md and
  docs/migration-guide.md. They stay PINNED: `~> 2.0` resolves to nothing while
  only prereleases exist, so unpinning belongs to 2.0.0 final, not here.

The notes name the #272 caveat explicitly. Removing `skip_area`'s implicit
stabilization wait (10.012 s -> 0.009 s measured) means a selector not yet in
the DOM now yields no mask, silently, where it previously resolved after the
wait. #277's run-level tally shipped in the same beta as the replacement signal,
and the notes say so rather than leaving it to be discovered.

Gates: `rake test:unit` 720 runs / 2124 assertions / 0 failures / 0 skips under
CI=true on 4.0.6, `standardrb lib test` clean over 161 files, and
`gem build` produces capybara-screenshot-diff-2.0.0.beta4.gem (93 files, 13 docs,
RELEASE_PREP correctly excluded).
