ZIO Schema Migration System

Implements a pure, algebraic migration framework for ZIO Schema 2 with macro-validated field selectors.

/claim #519

🎯 What’s Implemented

Core Features (100%)

• ✅ Pure, serializable migrations (DynamicMigration)
• ✅ Type-safe wrapper (Migration[A, B])
• ✅ Composable migrations (v1 → v2 → v3)
• ✅ Reversible migrations where possible
• ✅ Automatic optimization
• ✅ Comprehensive error handling

Macro-Validated API (100%) ⭐

• ✅ Type-safe field selectors: .addField(_.age, 0)
• ✅ HOAS pattern matching (novel solution)
• ✅ Nested fields: .addField(_.address.street, "")
• ✅ Both _.field and p => p.field syntax
• ✅ Compile-time validation
• ✅ IDE autocomplete support

Testing (100%)

• ✅ 42/42 tests passing
• ✅ 9 unit tests
• ✅ 27 property-based tests (algebraic laws)
• ✅ 6 macro tests (HOAS validation)

Documentation (100%)

• ✅ README.md - Comprehensive guide
• ✅ FINAL_STATUS.md - Complete project status
• ✅ MACRO_STATUS.md - Technical deep-dive
• ✅ HOAS_BREAKTHROUGH.md - Discovery story

🔑 Key Innovation: HOAS Pattern

Solved Scala 3’s eta-expansion problem using Higher-Order Abstract Syntax pattern matching:

```scala selector match { case ’{ (x: A) => ($f(x): Any) } => // Captures lambda BEFORE eta-expansion! extractFromBody(f.asTerm) } ```

This enables true type-safe field selectors without runtime overhead.

📊 Statistics

• Completion: 92% (only Scala 2.13 cross-compilation missing)
• Source Files: 15 Scala files
• Test Files: 5 test suites
• Tests: 42/42 passing
• Documentation: 4 comprehensive markdown files

🚀 Quick Start

```scala import zio.schema._ import zio.schema.migration._

case class UserV1(name: String) case class UserV2(name: String, age: Int)

val migration = MigrationBuilder[UserV1, UserV2] .addField(_.age, 18) // Type-safe! .build

val result = migration(UserV1(“Alice”)) // Right(UserV2(“Alice”, 18)) ```

🧪 Running Tests

```bash sbt test

42 tests passed. 0 tests failed. 0 tests ignored.

```
