Compare Your Config Against New Defaults After Every Upgrade

Upgrades shift the meaning of unset values, and a post-upgrade diff between your effective config and the new defaults is where silent behavior changes surface.

Your configuration did not change, but what it means did. Every value you never set now resolves against a new default, and the diff of those resolutions is the real upgrade.

The reconciliation pass

• Dump effective config before and after; diff the resolutions.
• Investigate every changed resolution touching safety or limits.
• Pin values you cannot afford to have drift with future defaults.

Use the changelog, architecture guide, and examples to surface the silent changes hiding in unset values.
