Documentation / Safe updates

Update standards safely

Preview, review, and apply Devcanon updates without losing local intent.

Standards updates are reviewable migrations, not blind overwrites.

Update Devcanon

Handle conflicts

A conflict means the local standard differs from the packaged version and was preserved. Compare both versions, keep intentional repository rules, and adopt improvements explicitly. Use --force only after review.

Team workflow

1. Create a standards-update branch.
2. Run the dry run and inspect differences.
3. Apply and validate.
4. Open a pull request with migration notes.
5. Merge only after required checks and review.
