Section 1
The premise
Upgrade docs are long; your code is finite. AI can intersect a changelog with your codebase to produce a focused migration list.
What AI does well here
- Read a CHANGELOG and pull only the breaking entries.
- Grep your repo for the deprecated APIs.
- Sketch a step-by-step upgrade order.
What AI cannot do
- Run the upgrade for you safely.
- Know about a private fork or patch you applied.
- Catch behavior changes that are not documented.

Agents vs. Autocomplete — the Mental Model Shift
Autocomplete is a suggestion. An agent is an actor. The mental model you bring to each is different, and conflating them is the number-one reason teams trip over AI coding.
