SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Introduces a formal mechanism to gate Warp code changes behind feature flags, enabling safer experimentation and controlled rollouts in development and production.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Runtime gating: Introduce new capabilities behind toggleable flags to verify behavior before full release.
  • Controlled rollouts: Manage feature visibility across Dev, Testing, and Stable channels without redeploying code.
  • Safe integration: Centralize flag definitions and gating logic to minimize code churn and risk.

Quick Start

Create a new feature flag named YourFeatureName and wire it into runtime gating so code paths are controlled by the flag.

FAQPage Schema
How do I add a runtime feature flag to gate Warp code changes?

To add a runtime feature flag, you must update Cargo.toml, extend the FeatureFlag enum, wire runtime checks into the codebase, and optionally enable the flag for dogfood builds to control feature rollout safely.

What is the purpose of gating Warp features behind runtime feature flags?

Gating Warp features behind runtime feature flags enables safer experimentation and controlled rollouts, allowing developers to toggle new capabilities across development, testing, and stable channels without redeploying code.

How do I manage controlled rollouts for development, testing, and stable builds?

Controlled rollouts are managed by centralizing feature flag definitions and gating logic, allowing you to apply toggles to development, testing, and release builds to verify behavior before a full release.

Does adding a new feature flag require updating Cargo.toml?

Yes, adding a new feature flag requires updating Cargo.toml, extending the FeatureFlag enum, and wiring runtime checks into the codebase to properly gate Warp code changes.

Can I enable a feature flag exclusively for dogfood builds?

Yes, you can optionally enable a new feature flag specifically for dogfood builds, allowing safe integration and testing of new Warp capabilities before broader release channel visibility.

What is the best way to minimize code churn when introducing feature gates?

The best way to minimize code churn is to centralize flag definitions and gating logic, introducing a formal mechanism to gate code changes behind toggleable runtime feature flags.
