Description

Hello!

I was wondering if it makes sense to pass the diff check if there are breaking changes, but the major version has been bumped. Right now, I am planning to use this as a required workflow on GitHub PRs and I want to give developers the opportunity to get around the check if they bump the version.

Would love this as a potential built in feature or option when running.

Thanks

Research direction

Start by tracing the diff check and the entry point used when running it in a required GitHub PR workflow. Determine how the current check detects breaking changes and how the compared specifications expose their major versions; done means a major-version bump can explicitly allow the check to pass, with coverage for the new behavior.
