  • Bumps version ranges and migrates legacy names across workspace files, then installs using the detected package manager.
  • Generates upgrade reports with actionable recommendations, deprecations, and next steps for developers.

Quick Start

Run the pi-upgrade helper from the project root in dry-run mode to preview changes, then run it again to apply upgrades.
