Abstract
This proposal introduces the Daml Upgrade Migration Planner, a CLI-first common-good tool designed to automate and derisk smart contract upgrades on Canton. It connects to a live participant, evaluates existing package and vetting state against newly proposed DARs, and computes a deterministic, reviewable migration plan mapping out exact upload orders, multi-synchronizer vetting steps, and topology serials for safe rollback.
