The README pitches ace diff --exit-code as the CI gate, but marking a part Standard (No BOM), adding or removing a net class, or changing a sheet parameter all diffed as identical with exit 0. A table test over all 36 native writes found 16 missed on main, and diff --rev HEAD on a clean tree also said incomplete because it skipped every document that was not a schematic or PCB.
