-## Migration
-
-**Strategy shift (2026-05-26).** The original plan (`docs/design/errors-refactor/spec.md` v2.12 §9) was a centrally-driven 4-PR rollout — framework → auth domain → multi-pilot → full-repo + legacy removal. That plan is **superseded** by a hybrid model: framework owner ships framework-level hardening (including a typed `*errs.*Error` migration of `internal/**`) as one focused PR; business-domain typed migration is **self-service** via [`docs/errors-guide.md`](../docs/errors-guide.md) and the builder API, with no central sweep timeline.
-
-Why the shift: 800+ legacy call sites split across 8+ business domains do not all share a single reviewer's bandwidth, and the contract is now expressive enough that each domain owner can migrate their own code from the guide without coordinating with framework owner.
-
-### Current state
-
-1. **Framework slice — ✅ shipped (PR #984).** The `errs/` typed taxonomy, classifier (`internal/errclass`), promotion stub (`internal/errcompat`, passthrough), dispatcher hook (`WriteTypedErrorEnvelope`), and the `lint/errscontract` AST guards. Wire shapes preserved byte-for-byte versus pre-PR, with **one intentional semantic fix**: config-class errors (`*core.ConfigError`) now exit `3` instead of `2`, aligning with `ExitCodeForCategory` (config errors share the auth exit slot per the taxonomy). The classifier and promote helpers are *shipped but unused* in production paths — they exist so framework migration can plug in without re-architecting.
-
-2. **Builder API — ✅ shipped (this branch).** `errs/types.go` adds the canonical producer surface (`errs.NewXxxError(subtype, format, args...).WithX(...)`) for all 10 typed types, alongside each struct declaration. Constructor signature pins `Category` (via function name) and `Subtype` + `Message` (positional), so the producer cannot mis-specify any of the three identity fields. Optional fields chain through `.WithX(...)` setters that preserve the concrete pointer type.

-### Next: framework migration PR (planned)

-A single PR consolidates the work the original §9 spec split across PRs 2–4 — restricted to framework code, no business sweep:
-
-- **Migrate `internal/**` typed construction to the builder API.** ~16 call sites in `internal/errclass/classify.go` (BuildAPIError fanout), `internal/auth/transport.go` (SecurityPolicy), `internal/auth/uat_client.go`, `internal/errcompat/promote*.go`, `internal/client/client.go`, `internal/client/api_errors.go`.

-- **Add `forbidigo` rule** banning `output.Err*` constructors in `shortcuts/**` and `cmd/**` (mirrors the contract that new business code must use the builder).
-- **CHANGELOG** lists the resulting ~10 shell-exit-code shifts in one release entry (vs the spec §1 spread of 11 — the remaining one site lives in `task` business code).
-
-### Business-domain migration (self-service, no central timeline)
-
-Each business package migrates its own `output.Err*` call sites to the builder when convenient — typically batched within one domain. The guide at [`docs/errors-guide.md`](../docs/errors-guide.md) walks owners through the 8 typical error modes (validation / authorization / authentication / config / network / api / internal / policy) with real `file:line` examples from main. The three-layer extension model (add Subtype / add field / add Category) handles cases the existing taxonomy does not cover.
-
-Helper assertions accept both shapes during migration (see `shortcuts/mail/mail_shortcut_validation_test.go` `assertValidationError`) so domain migrations stay green incrementally.
-
-### Legacy removal
-
-Deferred until business migration completion approaches the asymptote. `Errorf`, `ErrAPI`, `ErrAuth`, `ErrWithHint`, `ErrBare`, `ClassifyLarkError`, `ErrDetail`, `ExitError`, and `ErrorEnvelope` are `// Deprecated:` today and stay callable. No fixed removal date.

-### Before / after at a call site

-```go
-// before (legacy)
-return output.ErrAPI(larkCode, "create event failed", resp.RawBody())
