ABI and library evolution

You're about to ship an internal shared module as an XCFramework binary. What do Swift ABI stability and Library Evolution (BUILD_LIBRARY_FOR_DISTRIBUTION) each guarantee?

How would an interviewer hear this answer? You'll see whether they'd move on, dig in, or say no, and which sentences would trip you up. Your score doesn't change.

ABI stability guarantees that binaries built by different compilers are compatible at runtime; Library Evolution (module stability) guarantees the library's internals can change without clients recompiling.
