This adds 8 minutes of runner time to each PR, as well as 7 new jobs to the UI. As we barely touch the Dart package, I don't think this is worth the cost.
Then it should be guarded with a paths filter. I would still recommend adding the workflow, as we don't want to accidentally push breaking changes, especially with tying the versioning of the Dart package to versions of other packages.
We already have a CI job that detect breaking changes in our FFI layer, which this would just duplicate.
What are the next steps here? Perhaps @robertbastian and @mosuem need to discuss potential paths forward?
We could include this in cronjob CI, perhaps? Not sure if that makes sense for PR health stuff.
