Pixijs Migration V8

pixijs/pixijs-skills

A breaking-change checklist for moving PixiJS codebases from v7 to v8. The migration has real gotchas: Application.init is now async, Graphics switched from beginFill/drawRect to a shape-then-fill API (rect().fill()), all the @pixi/* sub-packages are deprecated in favor of a single pixi.js import, and the Ticker callback signature changed in a way that compiles but silently breaks at runtime if you treat the parameter as a number. The skill walks through each category with before-and-after code, covering initialization, imports, graphics, text constructor changes, the new eventMode system, and shader rework. Use this when you're staring at deprecated warnings or v7 code that stopped working after an upgrade and need the full translation map.
