What it does
Upgrade an existing EmDash project with upgrade-emdash, interpret .emdash/UPGRADE.md, apply required project changes, and verify the package, skill, and migration result. Use when asked to update or upgrade EmDash dependencies. Do not use for an unrelated schema change or a known database migration without a package upgrade.
Upgrading EmDash
Use upgrade-emdash to resolve the selected npm release tag, update every direct EmDash package, refresh the EmDash skills, and create the project-specific work order. The updater does not edit application code, apply database migrations, or deploy.
Prepare the work order
Run from the project root:
npx upgrade-emdash@latest --dry-run
npx upgrade-emdash@latest
Use --to <tag> for another npm dist-tag such as next or beta. --to does not accept a version. Use --yes to accept the updater prompt in a non-interactive environment, --json for a machine-readable dry-run, and --cwd <path> when the project root is elsewhere.
The updater writes .emdash/UPGRADE.md. Read that file after the command finishes. It contains the complete authored changelog entries crossed by the direct packages in this project, with generated dependency-bump entries removed, plus the exact core migration delta found after installation.
