RFC Check

Determine if proposed changes require an RFC (Request for Comments).

Instructions

  1. Identify changed files using git diff --name-only or provided context

  2. Apply RFC criteria:

    RFC Required:

    • New APIs in src/openenv/core/
    • Breaking changes to existing APIs
    • New abstractions or design patterns
    • Changes affecting the two-interface model (WebSocket/MCP separation)
    • Major architectural decisions

    RFC Not Required:

    • Bug fixes
    • Documentation updates
    • Minor refactoring (no API changes)
    • New example environments (unless introducing new patterns)
    • Dependency updates
    • Test additions
  3. Check against existing RFCs in rfcs/ for conflicts or dependencies

Analysis Steps

  1. List all files being changed
  2. Identify any files in src/openenv/core/
  3. Check for public API signature changes
  4. Look for new abstractions or patterns
  5. Review existing RFCs for related decisions

Output Format

## RFC Analysis

### Files Changed
- [list of files]

### Core Files Touched
- [any files in src/openenv/core/, or "None"]

### API Changes
- [any signature changes to public APIs, or "None"]

### New Patterns/Abstractions
- [any new patterns introduced, or "None"]

### Verdict: NOT REQUIRED / RECOMMENDED / REQUIRED

### Reasoning
[Explanation of decision based on criteria above]

### If RFC Needed
- Suggested title: "RFC NNN: [title]"
- Related RFCs: [list any related existing RFCs]
- Key decisions to document: [list]
