Submitting PRs for Protobuf Changes

Please only edit .proto files. The generated interfaces build in CI.

To build protos for a PR:

• add the ready-for-protos label
• adding the label will compile your protos, and commit the compiled changes to your PR branch from the github-actions bot
  • the bot commit will also add a protos-compiled label which is checked to merge. subsequent manual commits remove this label
• when you're ready to merge, remove the ready-for-protos label; that will trigger lint and merge checks
• in order to merge, the last commit to your PR must be a bot commit. (this is enforced through labeling)

Other guidelines:

• Do not make breaking changes to APIs if it can be avoided.
• Always use semantic version tags (not hashes) when importing this into other projects, such as RDK.
  • For example, use go get go.viam.com/api@v0.1.180 NOT go get go.viam.com/api@037415e
  • Add a new (semantic version compatible) tag when needed for this.
  • Do NOT duplicate, move, or remove version tags.
