Technical and comms plan for a Button break
WHAT IT TESTS: pairing technical migration tooling with communication. OUTLINE: additive-first then deprecate, major semver, codemod and guide, multi-channel early comms with adoption tracking.
WHAT IT TESTS: whether you cover both the engineering and the human sides of a breaking change. ANSWER OUTLINE: technically, introduce the new API additively, deprecate the old with warnings, bump major, and ship a codemod plus migration guide; communicate early and repeatedly through changelog, release notes, direct team outreach, and office hours, with a deprecation timeline and an adoption dashboard, removing the old API only after uptake.
