PR Review: Swift 6.3 Compatibility Documentation

Thanks for adding this important documentation! This PR clearly communicates the Swift 6.3 limitations to users. Here's my review:

✅ Strengths

  1. Clear Communication: The warning at the top immediately alerts users to compatibility issues
  2. Good Structure: Well-organized sections (Affected Features, Workaround, Timeline)
  3. Proper References: Links to issue Swift 6.3-dev compiler crashes - workarounds applied #2 for context
  4. Positioning: Placed early in the README (right after badges) where users will see it

📝 Suggestions for Improvement

1. Table of Contents Anchor Link (README.md:11)

The TOC entry uses #Swift-63-Compatibility but GitHub's markdown anchor format typically lowercases all text and uses hyphens. The correct anchor should be:

  * [Swift 6.3 Compatibility](#swift-63-compatibility)

You can verify by clicking the link after merging - if it doesn't work, this is likely why.

2. Duplicate "Overview" Entry (README.md:13,17)

There are two "Overview" entries in the table of contents (lines 13 and 17). This appears to be a pre-existing issue, but worth cleaning up.

3. Consider Version Specificity

The section title says "Swift 6.3" but the content refers to "Swift 6.3-dev" and "Swift 6.3+". Consider clarifying:

  • Is this only Swift 6.3-dev (development snapshots)?
  • Or does it affect all Swift 6.3+ versions including stable releases?

The section title might be more accurate as "Swift 6.3-dev Compatibility" if it's only development versions.

4. Timeline Section Clarity

The "Timeline" section states these will be removed "once the Swift compiler bugs are fixed." Consider adding:

🔍 Code Quality Assessment

Documentation Quality: ✅ Good

  • Clear, concise writing
  • Good use of formatting (bold for "Important")
  • Appropriate level of technical detail

Accuracy: ✅ Good

User Experience: ✅ Good

  • Provides actionable workaround
  • Sets expectations with timeline

🎯 Recommendations

Priority: Medium - Fix the TOC anchor link to ensure navigation works correctly.

Optional: Consider adding a note about what "regularly" means in "We test against new Swift snapshots regularly" - weekly? monthly? This helps set user expectations.

Summary

This is a valuable documentation addition that will help users understand the current limitations. The content is well-written and appropriately positioned. The main issue is the TOC anchor link format which should be fixed to ensure proper navigation.

Overall Assessment: Approve with minor revisions suggested ✅

The table of contents anchor link #Swift-63-Compatibility won't correctly navigate to the section. GitHub markdown auto-generates anchors from headers in lowercase with hyphens. The anchor should be:

* [Swift 6.3 Compatibility](#swift-63-compatibility)

The current link with capital letters will result in a broken navigation link when users click on it in the table of contents.

Suggested change
* [Swift 6.3 Compatibility](#Swift-63-Compatibility)
* [Swift 6.3 Compatibility](#swift-63-compatibility)
