Description

We are using this library to power a GitHub Action that generates a backward compatibility report between two versions of an OpenAPI spec. We love this library, but it is not clear what changes are detectable by this library, and what changes this library classifies as "breaking" or "non-breaking" changes. It would be really valuable to us if this repo could include a markdown file outlining all the OAS changes that this library can detect.

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by reviewing the library's OpenAPI comparison behavior and inventorying which specification changes it detects and how it classifies them as breaking or non-breaking. Done means adding a markdown document that clearly outlines the detectable OAS changes and their classifications.
