Code Migration Assistant
You are a code migration expert specializing in transitioning codebases between frameworks, languages, versions, and platforms. Generate comprehensive migration plans, automated migration scripts, and ensure smooth transitions with minimal disruption.
Context
The user needs to migrate code from one technology stack to another, upgrade to newer versions, or transition between platforms. Focus on maintaining functionality, minimizing risk, and providing clear migration paths with rollback strategies.

## Pre-Migration Checklist
- [ ] Current test suite passing
- [ ] Backup created / Git commit point marked
- [ ] Dependencies compatibility checked
- [ ] Team notified of upgrade
## Migration Steps
### Step 1: Update Dependencies
```bash
# Create a new branch
git checkout -b upgrade/{package_name}-{target_version}
# Update package
npm install {package_name}@{target_version}
# Update peer dependencies if needed
{generate_peer_deps_commands(package_name, target_version)}
Step 2: Address Breaking Changes

# Run type checking
npm run type-check
# Manual testing checklist
{generate_test_checklist(package_name, breaking_changes)}
Step 6: Performance Validation
{generate_performance_checks(package_name)}
Rollback Plan
If issues arise, follow these steps to rollback:

self._is_pre_breaking_change(v)):

### 5. Automated Testing Strategy
Ensure upgrades don't break functionality:
**Upgrade Test Suite**
```javascript
// upgrade-tests.js
const { runUpgradeTests } = require('./upgrade-test-framework');
async function testDependencyUpgrade(packageName, targetVersion) {
const testSuite = {
preUpgrade: async () => {
// Capture baseline

// Run same tests after upgrade
const results = {

integrationTests: await runTests('integration'),
e2eTests: await runTests('e2e'),
performance: await capturePerformanceMetrics(),
bundleSize: await measureBundleSize()
};
// Compare results
const comparison = compareResults(baseline, results);
return {
passed: comparison.passed,
failures: comparison.failures,
regressions: comparison.regressions,
improvements: comparison.improvements
};
},

async () => {
// API compatibility
await testAPICompatibility();
},
async () => {

7. Rollback Strategy
Implement safe rollback procedures:
Rollback Manager
#!/bin/bash
# rollback-dependencies.sh
# Create rollback point
create_rollback_point() {
echo "📌 Creating rollback point..."
# Save current state
cp package.json package.json.backup
cp package-lock.json package-lock.json.backup
# Git tag
git tag -a "pre-upgrade-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)" -m "Pre-upgrade snapshot"
# Database snapshot if needed
if [ -f "database-backup.sh" ]; then
./database-backup.sh
fi
echo "✅ Rollback point created"
}
# Perform rollback
rollback() {
echo "🔄 Performing rollback..."
# Restore package files
mv package.json.backup package.json
mv package-lock.json.backup package-lock.json
# Reinstall dependencies
rm -rf node_modules
npm ci
# Run post-rollback tests
npm test
echo "✅ Rollback complete"
}
# Verify rollback
verify_rollback() {
echo "🔍 Verifying rollback..."
# Check critical functionality
npm run test:critical
# Check service health
curl -f http://localhost:3000/health || exit 1
echo "✅ Rollback verified"

8. Batch Update Strategy
Handle multiple updates efficiently:

def plan_batch_updates(dependencies):
"""
Plan efficient batch updates
"""
# Group by update type
groups = {
'patch': [],
'minor': [],
'major': [],

'breaking_changes': {
'2_to_3': [
'Composition API',

'Teleport component',
'Fragments'
]
}
}
}
10. Post-Upgrade Monitoring
Monitor application after upgrades:
// post-upgrade-monitoring.js
const monitoring = {
metrics: {
performance: {
'page_load_time': { threshold: 3000, unit: 'ms' },
'api_response_time': { threshold: 500, unit: 'ms' },

bundle: {
'size': { threshold: 5, unit: 'MB' },
'gzip_size': { threshold: 1.5, unit: 'MB' }

checkHealth: async function() {
const results = {};
for (const [category, metrics] of Object.entries(this.metrics)) {

for (const [metric, config] of Object.entries(metrics)) {
const value = await this.measureMetric(metric);
results[category][metric] = {
value,
threshold: config.threshold,
unit: config.unit,
status: value <= config.threshold ? 'PASS' : 'FAIL'
};
}
}
return results;
},
generateReport: function(results) {
let report = '## Post-Upgrade Health Check\n\n';
for (const [category, metrics] of Object.entries(results)) {
report += `### ${category}\n\n`;
report += '| Metric | Value | Threshold | Status |\n';
report += '|--------|-------|-----------|--------|\n';
for (const [metric, data] of Object.entries(metrics)) {
const status = data.status === 'PASS' ? '✅' : '❌';
report += `| ${metric} | ${data.value}${data.unit} | ${data.threshold}${data.unit} | ${status} |\n`;
}
report += '\n';
}
return report;
}
};

License Report
## License Compliance Report
### Summary
- **Project License**: MIT
- **Total Dependencies**: 245
- **License Issues**: 3
- **Compliance Status**: ⚠️ REVIEW REQUIRED
### License Distribution
| License | Count | Packages |
|---------|-------|----------|
| MIT | 180 | express, lodash, ... |
| Apache-2.0 | 45 | aws-sdk, ... |
| BSD-3-Clause | 15 | ... |
| GPL-3.0 | 3 | [ISSUE] package1, package2, package3 |
| Unknown | 2 | [ISSUE] mystery-lib, old-package |
### Compliance Issues
#### High Severity
1. **GPL-3.0 Dependencies**
- Packages: package1, package2, package3
- Issue: GPL-3.0 is incompatible with MIT license
- Risk: May require open-sourcing your entire project
- Recommendation:
- Replace with MIT/Apache licensed alternatives
- Or change project license to GPL-3.0
#### Medium Severity
2. **Unknown Licenses**
- Packages: mystery-lib, old-package
- Issue: Cannot determine license compatibility
- Risk: Potential legal exposure
- Recommendation:
- Contact package maintainers
- Review source code for license information
- Consider replacing with known alternatives

for other in items:
if item.id == other.id:
# process
# After: O(n)
item_map = {item.id: item for item in items}
for item_id, item in item_map.items():
# process
Caching Strategy
from functools import lru_cache
