How to add a new schema version

The following checklist can be used when adding a new schema version.

• Upgrade function: Each schema version must be accompanied by an upgrade function that facilitates automatically upgrading configs from the directly preceding schema version.
  • Define this in previous-config-upgraders.ts
• Zod schema: Each schema version must be accompanied by a Zod schema.
  • Define this in previous-config-schemas.ts
    • Where possible, .extend from the previous schema.
• Config version meta-information: in previous-config-meta.ts
  • Set the newly-defined schema as the value of latestConfigSchema.
  • Add the newly-defined schema type to the AnyVersionConfig union type.
  • Append the newly-defined schema and upgrade function to the SCHEMA_HANDLERS array.
• Update the list of config versions on the View Configs via JSON documentation page.

If the reasoning for the new version is NOT for only coordination type or behavioral changes:

• Update the schema constructed by buildConfigSchema to match the "generic" (i.e., non-plugin-specific) schema in latestConfigSchema.
