API and integration migration tools

Google Content API → Merchant API Migration Preflight

A browser-local migration-readiness checker for developers and agencies moving Google Shopping integrations from the deprecated Content API for Shopping to Merchant API. It helps identify migration-sensitive patterns without requiring API credentials or sending pasted integration material to PAL servers.

Google officially sunset Content API for Shopping on 18 August 2026. Google says clients without an active extension began receiving intermittent HTTP 410 Gone failures from 1 September 2026, with full decommissioning planned for early 2027. Existing integrations should migrate to Merchant API.

HubSpot API Migration Preflight

A browser-local compatibility preflight for developers, integration owners, and agencies reviewing HubSpot API and developer-platform migration risk. It is designed for migration planning without requiring HubSpot credentials or uploading source repositories.

HubSpot is moving its developer ecosystem toward the Projects-based platform and date-based API versions. Current published transition points include the 31 October 2026 sunset of legacy CRM Cards, the 4 December 2026 Pipelines API V1 sunset, and 30 March 2027 end of support for HubSpot v4 APIs. These deadlines can affect existing integrations, app certification, and ongoing compatibility.

Official migration references:

• HubSpot developer changelog: https://developers.hubspot.com/changelog
• Legacy CRM Cards deprecation: https://developers.hubspot.com/changelog/deprecating-support-for-classic-crm-cards
• HubSpot v4 API end of support: https://developers.hubspot.com/changelog/deprecating-support-for-hubspot-v4-apis
• Developer Platform migration guidance: https://developers.hubspot.com/developer-platform-basics

Both tools are technical migration-readiness aids. They do not guarantee that an integration is complete, certified, or free of runtime issues.

Compliance-data readiness tools

EUDR DDS V3 Technical Preflight

A free browser-local technical checker for teams preparing EUDR Due Diligence Statement V3 data for the EU Information System. It can inspect selected DDS XML/JSON, supplier CSV data and GeoJSON for machine-readable readiness issues such as V1/V2 migration leftovers, activity type, HS headings, quantities, producer-country/geolocation fields, coordinate precision and grouped-reference constraints.

The EUDR applies from 30 December 2026 for large and medium operators and from 30 June 2027 for most micro and small operators. The European Commission's current operator API documentation identifies V3 as the current API and says V1/V2 are being replaced by the new V3 service contracts.

Run the technical preflight: https://practical-automation-lab.onrender.com/eudr-dds-v3-preflight.html

Official technical references used by the tool:

• European Commission EUDR overview: https://environment.ec.europa.eu/topics/forests/deforestation/regulation-deforestation-free-products_en
• EUDR Information System DDS V3 API: https://eudr.webcloud.ec.europa.eu/tracesnt/help/eudr-documentation/operator/api/due-diligence-statement-v3.html
• EUDR Information System validation rules: https://eudr.webcloud.ec.europa.eu/tracesnt/help/eudr-documentation/operator/validation-rules.html

This is technical/data-readiness software, not legal advice, and a clean result does not guarantee regulatory compliance or acceptance by the EUDR Information System.

EU Battery Passport Readiness Preflight

Browser-local technical/data-readiness checks for teams preparing battery product and passport data for upcoming EU battery-passport workflows.

Open-source operator tools

Argo CD Sync-Progression Contract Preflight

A browser-local tool, zero-dependency CLI, and GitHub Action that checks whether rendered Argo CD/Kubernetes manifests can deterministically progress through sync waves and hooks. It emits PASS/REVIEW/BLOCK JSON, HTML, or SARIF evidence for dependency-order inversions, hook lifecycle deadlocks, SyncWindow conflicts, invalid waves, and the reported Argo CD 3.4.2 App-of-Apps ordering regression.

• Tool, CLI, Action, tests, and samples
• Guide: sync wave stuck, hook waiting for deletion, or waves reordered after upgrade

Terraform Provider-Upgrade Replacement Contract Preflight

A credential-free browser tool, CLI, and GitHub Action that compares baseline and candidate Terraform plan JSON plus provider lockfiles. It emits deterministic PASS/REVIEW/BLOCK evidence for provider-upgrade-induced destroy/create actions, provenance mismatches, replacement paths, newly unknown values, and high-risk database, identity, network, or cluster replacements.

• Tool, CLI, Action, tests, and sample
• Guide: provider upgrade forces replacement

Helm Ownership Transfer Preflight

A browser-local tool and zero-dependency CLI for Helm --take-ownership, chart splits, and multi-release collisions. It combines old release history, an adopting manifest, and optional live metadata to emit deterministic PASS/REVIEW/BLOCK evidence for cross-release deletion, unexpected owners, shared cluster-scoped resources, hooks, and missing live verification.

• Tool, CLI, tests, and Helm #32218 fixture

GitHub Runner Routing Contract Preflight

A credential-free browser tool, CLI, and GitHub Action that expands finite workflow matrices and compares runs-on labels/groups with a redacted self-hosted runner inventory. It emits deterministic PASS/REVIEW/BLOCK evidence for unsatisfiable routes, repository-access conflicts, broad fallbacks, and single-runner bottlenecks.

• Tool, CLI, Action, tests, and samples

PostgreSQL Restore Portability Preflight

A dependency-free browser tool, CLI, and GitHub Action that compares pg_restore --list metadata with a redacted destination inventory. It produces deterministic PASS/REVIEW/BLOCK evidence for missing owner roles, unavailable extensions, and unsafe PostgreSQL major-version direction—without uploading the dump or connecting to the database.

• Tool, CLI, Action, tests, and samples
• Guide: unsupported archive version and transaction_timeout

OpenTelemetry Dashboard/Alert Upgrade Blast-Radius Preflight

A browser-local tool, zero-dependency CLI, and Node 20 GitHub Action that compares before/after-canary Prometheus inventories with Grafana dashboard JSON and Prometheus rule YAML. It emits deterministic PASS/REVIEW/BLOCK JSON, standalone HTML, and SARIF evidence when saved consumers lose metrics or required labels during an OpenTelemetry upgrade.

• Tool, CLI, Action, tests, fixtures, and evidence samples
• Guide: OpenTelemetry upgrade broke a Grafana dashboard or Prometheus alert
