Problem

Every breaking PR inserts at the top of the same ## Unreleased section in MIGRATE.md, so concurrent PRs conflict constantly.

Approach

Plans MIGRATE.md at the cut in m0: PRs stop touching MIGRATE.md; a breaking PR marks its title with ! and puts the migration note in its Impact bullet; the breaking cut's migration audit gathers ! subjects from git log (plus the API-diff report for unmarked breaks) and writes the guides. Also aligns the migration audit quest.

Impact

None (quest files only).

Decisions

Goal: PRs into main stop conflicting on MIGRATE.md, while each breaking cut still ships a correct net-change migration guide per package.

  • ✅ Yes
  • Drop MIGRATE.md entirely

How are breaking-change notes captured between cuts?

  • ✅ Write at the cut (PR Impact section only)
  • Per-PR fragment files stitched at the cut
  • merge=union driver in .gitattributes

How does the cut find each PR's migration note?

  • ✅ ! title + Impact bullet, gathered from git log
  • breaking label
  • Read every merged PR

Existing ## Unreleased entries and #6443

Milestone

  • ✅ m0
  • m1

Follow-ups

None.

P2 Badge Audit breaks outside API declarations

When a PR omits ! for a semantic break that preserves its declarations, such as changing a public default, this fallback produces no candidate: quest/m1/api-diff.md limits the report to Rust, TypeScript declarations, and generated FFI interfaces, while the migration audit's manual pass covers only binding wrappers and binary settings. Such a break can therefore ship without the migration entry promised by the goal, so add a manual review or another backstop for behavior and formats that the API diff cannot detect.

Not a regression: an author who misses a behavior break today writes no MIGRATE.md entry either, so this gap already exists under the per-PR rule. Recorded it in the Plan; catching it stays with PR review rather than adding a manual read of every PR at the cut.

P2 Badge Include the Commits section in the planned documentation update

This checklist updates only the PR and Releases sections, but CONTRIBUTING.md:12 currently says that the PR description becomes the commit body in git log, directly contradicting the new premise that squash commits drop it. After this quest is implemented, contributors and the release auditor would still receive conflicting instructions about whether the Impact section is recoverable locally; include the Commits section in the planned edits and correct that statement.

Summary: plans MIGRATE.md at the cut in m0. PRs stop editing MIGRATE.md; breaking PRs use ! plus an Impact migration note; the cut's migration audit writes the guides. All decisions were confirmed by the maintainer (see the PR body). Codex findings: the stale Commits claim was added to the plan; the unmarked behavior-break gap was recorded as not a regression.

Walkthrough

The documentation adds a migration-at-cut quest and links it from the m0 README. The proposed process marks breaking PRs with !, records migration details in an Impact bullet, and uses an audit from the release merge base to populate per-package MIGRATE.md sections at a breaking cut. The release audit plan also says to stop per-PR migration entries after the cut guide lands and retain existing ## Unreleased entries as the draft.

Priority: ⚪ Pending latest changes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 6798e

This PR changes planning documents only, so there is no direct product impact. The described cut-time process leaves a few steps undefined: where each PR's migration note comes from, how existing migration entries are reconciled on the first cut, and how breaking PRs are matched and written to every affected package. Clarify these in the plan before relying on it at a breaking cut.

Explanation

Issue #6443 remains open and directly linked. It requires direct migration-guide corrections, the short_side public API and resolver changes, related tests and cleanup, and publication guidance. The whole PR diff changes only quest/m0/README.md, quest/m0/migrate-at-cut.md, and quest/m2/release/migrate-audit.md. It does not implement those requirements. The new plan explicitly defers #6443.

Resolution

Implement the active coding and documentation requirements in #6443, including the released-to-current MIGRATE.md guides, the short_side API and consumer changes with tests, required quest/reference cleanup, and publication guidance.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The PR adds a new m0 planning quest and changes the m2 audit plan to define a future process for collecting migration notes at a breaking cut. Issue #6443 requests direct migration-guide and transcode API alignment. The changed quest files do not implement those requirements, and the new plan states that #6443 will land separately.

Resolution

Remove these process-planning changes from the #6443 implementation, or establish a separate linked objective for the migration-at-cut process and keep the #6443 changes focused on its direct guide, API, test, cleanup, and publication requirements.

Name the breaking marker by its position in the title.

The audit step says it greps git log for ! subjects. A title with ! in its text, such as a code span or an exclamation, would match that grep. The breaking marker is the ! placed directly before the : in type(scope)!:. Match that form. A title that is not breaking would then no longer be read as a breaking PR.

Make the multi-package fan-out explicit.

The surrounding plan already requires per-package migration sections, but the audit step says to write each note into “its package's guide.” State that the audit identifies every package affected by a ! PR and writes the note into each affected guide.

@kixelated Understood. The existing rule already covers every affected package. This is only a wording clarification in the audit’s Plan, not a new migration requirement. I’ll leave that update to the implementing session.
