Description

Stub for additional must-have to enable the v1.0.0 vision.

Adopter repos can have PLATE itself evolve autonomously or semi-autonomously:

  • Detect upstream changes in plate-core, template payload, AGENTS.md, workflows, skills
  • Propose safe migration PRs (or apply at low risk tolerance)
  • Verify post-migration health, update .plate, run bootstrap checks
  • Preserve project-specific customizations

Critical for long-term "<30m onboarding" promise remaining true.

Parent: #627
Related: #633, #615, bootstrap, migration tooling, template sync scripts.

Research direction

Start by reading parent issue #627 and related issues #633 and #615, then inspect the bootstrap, migration tooling, and template sync scripts mentioned here. Define the boundaries for detecting upstream changes, preserving customizations, proposing or applying migrations, and verifying post-migration health before implementation. Done means the v1.0.0 self-update and self-migration workflow is specified and validated.
