The premise
AI can reason about field usage and draft deprecation plans, but breaking-change blast radius needs human approval.
What AI does well here
- Map fields to consuming queries via persisted-query logs.
- Draft @deprecated annotations with migration hints.
- Generate consumer migration PRs with codemod stubs.
What AI cannot do
- Know which mobile clients still ship old query versions.
- Decide acceptable migration windows per consumer team.
