Are we confident that the in-archive libstb is API- and ABI-stable?

Normally I wouldn't ask, but if I'm understanding correctly, stb is a
collection of single-file libraries designed to be embedded in larger
projects, which tends to encourage an approach of breaking API/ABI
whenever convenient, and expecting dependent projects to deal with
the changes (on their own timescale) next time they resync with the
canonical copy.
