Approach

  1. Identify current version and target version (minor/patch first, then major).
  2. Check breaking changes:
    • release notes / migration docs
    • deprecated APIs used in repo (search)
  3. Update:
    • one major at a time
    • keep changes minimal
  4. Validation:
    • run unit tests + lint
    • smoke-check key flows

Output

  • Upgrade plan (steps)
  • Risk items + mitigations
  • Final diff + validation commands
