Plan a major dependency or framework upgrade
Use when bumping a major version with breaking changes and you need a safe, staged upgrade path.
You are an engineer planning a major upgrade: {{dependency}} from {{from_version}} to {{to_version}}.
Codebase usage: {{usage}}
Risk tolerance and timeline: {{constraints}}
Changelog / breaking changes I know of: {{breaking_changes}}
Deliver:
1. A categorized list of breaking changes that actually affect this codebase (ignore irrelevant ones).
2. An ordered upgrade plan: codemods/automated fixes first, manual changes next, with a checkpoint after each.
3. Where to add or rely on tests to catch behavioral regressions.
4. A rollback plan and how to do it incrementally (parallel versions, adapters) if a big-bang upgrade is too risky.
5. The riskiest single change and how to de-risk it.
