The premise
Migrations stall when teams attempt them as one big PR. AI is useful for sequencing the work and translating per-API patterns.
What AI does well here
- Translate one old API call to the new equivalent given docs.
- Outline a phased migration path with intermediate checkpoints.
What AI cannot do
- Know about your private forks or undocumented patches.
- Promise that translated code preserves performance characteristics.
