This document outlines the upgrade process and scope of support for the software. For full details on warranty and support coverage, refer to the WARRANTY.md
file.
Upgrades to the software are supported as follows:

The following directories are covered under the warranty as specified in WARRANTY.md
. Upgrades in these directories will be fully supported and aligned with the upgrade process detailed at https://docs.novel.dev/upgrading:
deploy
: All deployment-related configurations and files.packages
: Core software logic and modules within this directory.test
: Tests provided within the covered directories.
Userland Directories
The following directories fall outside the scope of full warranty coverage. Any upgrades affecting these directories will be handled on a best-effort basis. Code generation tools may be provided where feasible to assist with integration:
app
: Application-specific files, user customization, and logic.components
: User-defined or customized UI components.test
(outside covered files): User-modified test cases in unrelated directories.

directory will void warranty coverage for those files.It is recommended to maintain backups of your customizations before proceeding with upgrades.
