+# Migrating
+
+## From `0.1.0` to `0.2.0`
+
+Directives moved under the `!adf:` prefix. `0.2.0` reads `0.1.0`'s spelling without an error,
+turning each directive into text and each carried node into an `adf` code block. Before `0.2.0`
+reads any `0.1.0` markdown, convert what is stored or in flight (an open editor, a queue) with the
+recipe below, and rewrite markdown your code writes or matches (templates, prompts, patterns) by
+the spelling table. Stored ADF needs no change.
+
+### Convert markdown
+
+Read it with `0.1.0` and write it with `0.2.0`, installed side by side:
+
+```sh
+npm install @larvit/adf-codec@0.2.0 adf-codec-0.1@npm:@larvit/adf-codec@0.1.0
+```
+
+```ts
+import { adfToMarkdown } from '@larvit/adf-codec'
+import { markdownToAdf as markdownToAdf010 } from 'adf-codec-0.1'
+
+function migrateMarkdown(stored: string) {
+  const parsed = markdownToAdf010(stored)
+  return parsed.ok ? adfToMarkdown(parsed.value) : parsed
+}
+```
+
+- Convert each document once: a second pass can return ok while turning the directives into text.
+  Stop `0.1.0` writing first, and record which documents are converted.
+- A refusal carrying `position` is `0.1.0`'s parse, which refused that markdown before too. One
+  without is `0.2.0`'s emit: store the document `markdownToAdf010` read as ADF rather than keeping
+  the unconverted markdown.
+
+### Spellings
+
+| `0.1.0` | `0.2.0` |
+| --- | --- |
+| `:::panel info` … `:::`, the fence longer per nesting level | `!adf:panel info` … `!adf:/panel` at any depth |
+| `::media {id=a type=file}` | `!adf:media {id=a type=file}` |
+| `::taskItem TODO {localId=i}`: an empty `caption`, `decisionItem`, `paragraph` or `taskItem`, or an empty `heading` carrying `localId` | `!adf:taskItem TODO {localId=i}` then `!adf:/taskItem` |
+| `:mention[@Mikael]{id=5b10a2}` | `!adf:mention[@Mikael]{id=5b10a2}` |
+| the `adf` code fence and `:adf{json="…"}` | the `carry` code fence and `!adf:carry{json="…"}` |
+| `\:` keeps a directive literal | `\!adf:` keeps a directive literal |
+
+A colon run and `:name[` are plain text now, and `adf` an ordinary code block language; text
+holding an unescaped `!adf:` and a `carry` fence are claimed instead.
+
+### Error codes
+
+| Input | `0.1.0` | `0.2.0` |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| a leaf node given a body (`media`, `listBreak`) | `unsupported-node-shape` | `malformed-directive` |
+| a node with a block body written as a leaf (`panel`) | `unsupported-node-shape` | `malformed-directive` |
+| an empty node the `::taskItem` spelling row names, written as a leaf | parses | `malformed-directive` |
+| an empty node the `::taskItem` spelling row names, written with a closer | `unsupported-node-shape` | parses |
