This enables safer API evolution and clearer public surface characterization. Commits spanned core AST/Sema work including printing support and availability domain handling. - Module interface printing improvements: Enhanced printing of module interfaces to include preconcurrency imports in swiftinterface files, improving developer visibility into cross-module dependencies. - Language mode enforcement for swiftinterfaces: Enforced explicit -language-mode when emitting swiftinterfaces, with corresponding build/config changes to ensure reproducible outputs across toolchains. - Diagnostics and stability improvements: Downgraded certain noisy diagnostics for key paths to improve developer experience; fixed migrate-mode crash in MemberImportVisibility and expanded related tests to improve coverage. - Testing and reliability: Strengthened test suite for multi-repo stability, including introducing -swift-version in swift-driver tests to prevent mis-compilations and ensure robust incremental testing. Overall impact: Delivered tangible improvements to API stability, module interface reliability, and build reproducibility. The changes reduce churn for API consumers, improve the developer experience when inspecting interfaces, and fortify the end-to-end toolchain for future releases. Technologies/skills demonstrated: AST/Sema, Diagnostics, Module Interfaces, Clang integration, Frontend/Backend workflow, CMake/build system coordination, test modernization and governance.
