# Migration Guide

This guide covers changes between the git tag `release` and the current tree.
At `release`, `masque.__version__` was `3.3`; the current tree reports `3.4`.

Most downstream changes are in `masque/builder/*`, but there are a few other
API changes that may require code updates.

## Routing API: renamed and consolidated

The routing helpers were consolidated into a single implementation in
`masque/builder/pather.py`.

The biggest migration point is that the old routing verbs were renamed:

| Old API | New API |
| --- | --- |
| `Pather.path(...)` | `Pather.trace(...)` |
| `Pather.path_to(...)` | `Pather.trace_to(...)` |
| `Pather.mpath(...)` | `Pather.trace(...)` / `Pather.trace_to(...)` with multiple ports |
| `Pather.pathS(...)` | `Pather.jog(...)` |
| `Pather.pathU(...)` | `Pather.uturn(...)` |
| `Pather.path_into(...)` | `Pather.trace_into(...)` |
| `Pather.path_from(src, dst)` | `Pather.at(src).trace_into(dst)` |
| `RenderPather.path(...)` | `Pather(..., auto_render=False).trace(...)` |
| `RenderPather.path_to(...)` | `Pather(..., auto_render=False).trace_to(...)` |
| `RenderPather.mpath(...)` | `Pather(..., auto_render=False).trace(...)` / `Pather(..., auto_render=False).trace_to(...)` |
| `RenderPather.pathS(...)` | `Pather(..., auto_render=False).jog(...)` |
| `RenderPather.pathU(...)` | `Pather(..., auto_render=False).uturn(...)` |
| `RenderPather.path_into(...)` | `Pather(..., auto_render=False).trace_into(...)` |
| `RenderPather.path_from(src, dst)` | `Pather(..., auto_render=False).at(src).trace_into(dst)` |

There are also new convenience wrappers:

- `straight(...)` for `trace_to(..., ccw=None, ...)`
- `ccw(...)` for `trace_to(..., ccw=True, ...)`
- `cw(...)` for `trace_to(..., ccw=False, ...)`
- `jog(...)` for S-bends
- `uturn(...)` for U-bends

Important: `Pather.path()` is no longer the routing API. It now forwards to
`Pattern.path()` and creates a geometric `Path` element. Any old routing code
that still calls `pather.path(...)` must be renamed.

### Common rewrites

```python
# old
pather.path('VCC', False, 6_000)
pather.path_to('VCC', None, x=0)
pather.mpath(['GND', 'VCC'], True, xmax=-10_000, spacing=5_000)
pather.pathS('VCC', offset=-2_000, length=8_000)
pather.pathU('VCC', offset=4_000, length=5_000)
pather.path_into('src', 'dst')
pather.path_from('src', 'dst')

# new
pather.cw('VCC', 6_000)
pather.straight('VCC', x=0)
pather.ccw(['GND', 'VCC'], xmax=-10_000, spacing=5_000)
pather.jog('VCC', offset=-2_000, length=8_000)
pather.uturn('VCC', offset=4_000, length=5_000)
pather.trace_into('src', 'dst')
pather.at('src').trace_into('dst')
```

If you prefer the more explicit spelling, `trace(...)` and `trace_to(...)`
remain the underlying primitives:

```python
pather.trace('VCC', False, 6_000)
pather.trace_to('VCC', None, x=0)
```

## `PortPather` and `.at(...)`

Routing can now be written in a fluent style via `.at(...)`, which returns a
`PortPather`.

```python
(rpather.at('VCC')
    .trace(False, length=6_000)
    .trace_to(None, x=0)
)
```

This is additive, not required for migration. Existing code can stay with the
non-fluent `Pather` methods after renaming the verbs above.

Old `PortPather` helper names were also cleaned up:

| Old API | New API |
| --- | --- |
| `save_copy(...)` | `mark(...)` |
| `rename_to(...)` | `rename(...)` |

Example:

```python
# old
pp.save_copy('branch')
pp.rename_to('feed')

# new
pp.mark('branch')
pp.rename('feed')
```

## Imports and module layout

`Pather` now provides the remaining builder/routing surface in
`masque/builder/pather.py`. The old module files
`masque/builder/builder.py` and `masque/builder/renderpather.py` were removed.

Update imports like this:

```python
# old
from masque.builder.builder import Builder
from masque.builder.renderpather import RenderPather

# new
from masque.builder import Pather

builder = Pather(...)
deferred = Pather(..., auto_render=False)
```

Top-level imports from `masque` also continue to work.

`Pather` now defaults to `auto_render=True`, so plain construction replaces the
old `Builder` behavior. Use `Pather(..., auto_render=False)` where you
previously used `RenderPather`.

## `BasicTool` was replaced

`BasicTool` is no longer exported. Use:

- `SimpleTool` for the simple "one straight generator + one bend cell" case
- `AutoTool` if you need transitions, multiple candidate straights/bends, or
  S-bends/U-bends

### Old `BasicTool`

```python
from masque.builder.tools import BasicTool

tool = BasicTool(
    straight=(make_straight, 'input', 'output'),
    bend=(lib.abstract('bend'), 'input', 'output'),
    transitions={
        'm2wire': (lib.abstract('via'), 'top', 'bottom'),
    },
)
```

### New `AutoTool`

```python
from masque.builder.tools import AutoTool

tool = AutoTool(
    straights=[
        AutoTool.Straight(
            ptype='m1wire',
            fn=make_straight,
            in_port_name='input',
            out_port_name='output',
        ),
    ],
    bends=[
        AutoTool.Bend(
            abstract=lib.abstract('bend'),
            in_port_name='input',
            out_port_name='output',
            clockwise=True,
        ),
    ],
    sbends=[],
    transitions={
        ('m2wire', 'm1wire'): AutoTool.Transition(
            lib.abstract('via'),
            'top',
            'bottom',
        ),
    },
    default_out_ptype='m1wire',
)
```

The key differences are:

- `BasicTool` -> `SimpleTool` or `AutoTool`
- `straight=(fn, in_name, out_name)` -> `straights=[AutoTool.Straight(...)]`
- `bend=(abstract, in_name, out_name)` -> `bends=[AutoTool.Bend(...)]`
- transition keys are now `(external_ptype, internal_ptype)` tuples
- transitions use `AutoTool.Transition(...)` instead of raw tuples

If your old `BasicTool` usage did not rely on transitions or multiple routing
options, `SimpleTool` is the closest replacement.

## Custom `Tool` subclasses

If you maintain your own `Tool` subclass, the interface changed:

- `Tool.path(...)` became `Tool.traceL(...)`
- `Tool.traceS(...)` and `Tool.traceU(...)` were added for native S/U routes
- `planL()` / `planS()` / `planU()` remain the planning hooks used by deferred rendering

In practice, a minimal old implementation like:

```python
class MyTool(Tool):
    def path(self, ccw, length, **kwargs):
        ...
```

should now become:

```python
class MyTool(Tool):
    def traceL(self, ccw, length, **kwargs):
        ...
```

If you do not implement `traceS()` or `traceU()`, the unified pather will
either fall back to the planning hooks or synthesize those routes from simpler
steps where possible.

## Transform semantics changed

The other major user-visible change is that `mirror()` and `rotate()` are now
treated more consistently as intrinsic transforms on low-level objects.

The practical migration rule is:

- use `mirror()` / `rotate()` when you want to change the object relative to its
  own origin
- use `flip_across(...)`, `rotate_around(...)`, or container-level transforms
  when you want to move the object in its parent coordinate system

### Example: `Port`

Old behavior:

```python
port.mirror(0)   # changed both offset and orientation
```

New behavior:

```python
port.mirror(0)          # changes orientation only
port.flip_across(axis=0)  # old "mirror in the parent pattern" behavior
```

### What to audit

Check code that calls:

- `Port.mirror(...)`
- `Ref.rotate(...)`
- `Ref.mirror(...)`
- `Label.rotate_around(...)` / `Label.mirror(...)`

If that code expected offsets or repetition grids to move automatically, it
needs updating. For whole-pattern transforms, prefer calling `Pattern.mirror()`
or `Pattern.rotate_around(...)` at the container level.

## Other user-facing changes

### DXF environments

If you install the DXF extra, the supported `ezdxf` baseline moved from
`~=1.0.2` to `~=1.4`. Any pinned environments should be updated accordingly.

### New exports

These are additive, but available now from `masque` and `masque.builder`:

- `PortPather`
- `SimpleTool`
- `AutoTool`
- `boolean`

## Minimal migration checklist

If your code uses the routing stack, do these first:

1. Replace `path`/`path_to`/`mpath`/`path_into` calls with
   `trace`/`trace_to`/multi-port `trace`/`trace_into`.
2. Replace `BasicTool` with `SimpleTool` or `AutoTool`.
3. Fix imports that still reference `masque.builder.builder` or
   `masque.builder.renderpather`.
4. Audit any low-level `mirror()` usage, especially on `Port` and `Ref`.

If your code only uses `Pattern`, `Library`, `place()`, and `plug()` without the
routing helpers, you may not need any changes beyond the transform audit and any
stale imports.
