# Lossless Migration

## Purpose

Preserve earlier mission and package records while translating them into the current IARPG-OPS-2 structure.

## Current doctrine

- Migration supports OPS-1 fixtures, early OPS-2 WIP records, isolated mission/evidence/simulation files, and current Operation Packages.
- Every source field receives a field-action entry naming the original path, original value, destination, transformed value, action, reason, related standard, and warning level.
- Unsupported or unknown data is retained in `unmapped_data` or an explicit extension field.
- A migration report is reviewable before the migrated output is accepted.
- No migration may claim losslessness unless input-field coverage and preserved-unknown checks pass. The OPS-1 fixture currently maps all 16 source fields through 16 explicit actions and preserves both unmapped fields.

## Shared Constraints

- Apply [repository constraints](constraints.uai#non-negotiable-constraints).
