# stale-expectations — Avro compatibility reporting

Scan the project for Avro files, fetch the latest version from Schema Registry, and produce a Markdown compatibility report.

## Step 1

Discover Avro files under `src/main/avro/`.

## Step 2

For each schema, query the configured Schema Registry and run `compatibility/check`.

## Step 3

Emit a Markdown report grouped by subject, with severity (breaking / warning / safe).
