description Apply when introducing a new internal API while old callers still exist. Migrate callers and delete the old API in the same wave instead of preserving compatibility layers.

Migrate Callers Then Delete Legacy APIs

  • Update tests to assert the new contract, and delete tests that only protect pre-refactor implementation details

When this applies:

  • No external users depend on backward compatibility
  • The project can absorb coordinated breaking changes
  • The new API is part of a simplification or refactor initiative
