Yes, it would work very well if said tool didn't change its mind every 6 months, generating huge commits at every bump

You seem unfamiliar with the fact that other people aren't necessarily clones of yourself and might not behave like you.

If you run black on CI… which of course I don't since every time they make a new version I'd have the CI start failing.
And no pinning is not a "solution"… it's at best a workaround for badly written software.

If you have 10 lines of code, I guess your diff can't be more than 10 lines. If you have more than 10 lines…
