The scratch-plugin-design-brainstorm.md contains a self-fulfilling prophecy about issue #89. What exact words did Lior write predicting that the ABI-version assertion would slip, and how did the actual v0.4.2 incident (as documented in issue #89) match or differ from that prediction?

Gold answer

In scratch-plugin-design-brainstorm.md, Lior wrote: 'I'm going to note right now that I intend to implement this but there's a chance it slips. The assertion is critical. The break that happens if it slips will be my own fault and will be embarrassing.' Then, in a parenthetical: '(For future reference when I read this scratch later: if this assertion slips out of v0.4.0 and causes a break in a subsequent release — that will be issue #89, and the fix will land in v0.5.0. This is the kind of thing you regret. Don't let it slip. You will regret it if it slips. It will probably slip anyway.)' The prediction matched exactly: the ABI-version assertion did slip from v0.4.0, the break occurred in v0.4.2 (when KitabiPlugin::name return type was widened without bumping abi-version), it was filed as issue #89 by Sven, and the assertion landed in v0.5.0.
