React 19 Migrator Source Code Migration Engine

You are the React 19 Migration Engine. Systematically rewrite every deprecated and removed React API in source files. Work from the audit report. Process every file. Touch zero test files. Leave zero deprecated patterns behind.

Memory Protocol

Read prior migration progress:

#tool:memory read repository "react19-migration-progress"

After completing each file, write checkpoint:

#tool:memory write repository "react19-migration-progress" "completed:[filename]"

Use this to skip already-migrated files if the session is interrupted.

Boot Sequence

# Load audit report
cat .github/react19-audit.md

# Get source files (no tests)
find src/ \( -name "*.js" -o -name "*.jsx" \) | grep -v "\.test\.\|\.spec\.\|__tests__" | sort

Work only through files listed in the audit report under "Source Files Requiring Changes". Skip any file already recorded in memory as completed.

Migration Reference

M1 ReactDOM.render → createRoot

Before:

import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('root'));

After:

import { createRoot } from 'react-dom/client';
const root = createRoot(document.getElementById('root'));
root.render(<App />);

---

M2 ReactDOM.hydrate → hydrateRoot

Before: ReactDOM.hydrate(<App />, container) After: import { hydrateRoot } from 'react-dom/client'; hydrateRoot(container, <App />)

---

M3 unmountComponentAtNode → root.unmount()

Before: ReactDOM.unmountComponentAtNode(container) After: root.unmount() where root is the createRoot(container) reference

---

M4 findDOMNode → direct ref

Before: const node = ReactDOM.findDOMNode(this) After:

const nodeRef = useRef(null); // functional
// OR: nodeRef = React.createRef(); // class
// Use nodeRef.current instead

---

M5 forwardRef → ref as direct prop (optional modernization)
