+# Breaking Changes: v2.0 → v2.1.0-beta
+
+This section describes the breaking changes when migrating from **OptimalControl.jl v2.0.5-beta** to **v2.1.0-beta**. For the v1.x → v2.0 migration, see [the section below](#breaking-changes-v1x--v20).
+
+Three symbol families physically changed package in this release, as the ecosystem was reorganised so that each name has exactly one owner. Most of the fallout is mechanical, but three items are semantic and will not announce themselves as import errors.
+
+## Start here: `Flow` needs an integrator
+
+Every example's preamble changes. SciML is no longer a hard dependency of the stack — the user chooses and loads an integrator:
+
+```julia
+using OptimalControl
+using OrdinaryDiffEqTsit5   # ← new, and required before any Flow(...)
+
+f = Flow(ocp, (x, p) -> p[2])
+```
+
+Without it, `Flow` fails with a bare `MethodError`. This is by design: it keeps the install cost of the direct path off users who never write a flow.
+
+## Differential geometry moved to CTLie
+
+`Lift`, `Poisson`, `∂ₜ` and `@Lie` are re-exported from the same names as before, so most code is unaffected. Two changes are not cosmetic:
+
+| v2.0 | v2.1.0-beta | Notes |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `Lie(X, f)` | `ad(X, f)` | renamed |
+| `X ⋅ f` | `ad(X, f)` | **removed**, no alias |
+| `HamiltonianLift` | `CTLie.LiftedHamiltonianFunction` | renamed **and** re-parented |
+
+`LiftedHamiltonianFunction` is `<: Function`, no longer `<: AbstractHamiltonian`. Any `isa` or `<:` test against the old hierarchy is now wrong:
+
+```julia
+H = Lift(F)          # F::Function
+H isa AbstractHamiltonian   # false in v2.1.0-beta, true in v2.0
+```
+
+Note that `Lift` is overloaded on its input: `Lift(X::AbstractVectorField)` still returns a `Hamiltonian`. Only the plain-`Function` overload changed.
+
+## Flow call convention
+
+The signature changed, not just the spelling.
+
+```julia
+# before
+f(t0, x0, p0, tf, λ)
+f(t0, x0, p0, tf; augment=true)
+
+# after
+f(t0, x0, p0, tf; variable=λ)
+f(t0, x0, p0, tf; variable=λ, variable_costate=true)
+```
+
+1. **There is no positional slot for the variable any more**, and `variable=` is **mandatory** on a `NonFixed` problem. Omitting it raises a `PreconditionError` whose suggestion is literally *"Pass `variable=v` when calling the flow"* — it does not silently default.
+2. **`augment=true` → `variable_costate=true`.** It integrates the augmented adjoint `ṗᵥ = -∂H/∂v` and returns `(xf, pf, pvf)` instead of `(xf, pf)`.
+3. **New `unsafe=false`.** With `unsafe=true` the ODE retcode is not checked and failures do not throw — useful inside a shooting loop, where an intermediate failure should surface through the residual.
+
+## Constrained flows: keywords replace positional arguments
+
+```julia
+# before
+fb = Flow(ocp, u, g, μ)                            # 3 positional
+
+# after
+fb = Flow(ocp, u; constraint=g, multiplier=μ)      # paired keywords
+```
+
+The two are a pair: one without the other is an `IncorrectArgument`.
+
+`constraint` now accepts three spellings, which is a capability gain rather than a rename — a plain `Function`, a `Data.PathConstraint`, **or a `Symbol` naming a `:path` constraint already declared in the OCP**:
+
+```julia
+fb = Flow(ocp, u; constraint=:vmax, multiplier=μ)  # reuse the model's own constraint
+```
+
+## Constructor keywords take an `is_` prefix
+
+```julia
+# before
+VectorField(f; autonomous=false, variable=true)
+@Lie [X, Y] autonomous=false
+
+# after
+VectorField(f; is_autonomous=false, is_variable=true)
+@Lie [X, Y] is_autonomous=false
+```
+
+The old spelling on `@Lie` raises an `IncorrectArgument` at macro-expansion time rather than being ignored.
+
+## Two names are no longer re-exported
+
+| Name | Why |
+| --- | --- |
+| `time` | It is `Base.time`, extended but not exported by `CTModels.Components`. Get it from `Base`. |
+| `success` | `CTModels.Solutions` exports the name but defines no method for it, so `success(sol)` was always a `MethodError`. **Use `successful(sol)`**, which is the real accessor and is unchanged. |
+
+## Newly re-exported
+
+The full `CTBase.Data` type vocabulary is now available without reaching into the package by hand — `Flow` dispatches on these, so building a flow explicitly needed them:
+
+`VectorField`, `Hamiltonian`, `HamiltonianVectorField`, `ComposedHamiltonian`, `PseudoHamiltonian`, `ControlLaw`, `OpenLoop`, `ClosedLoop`, `DynClosedLoop`, `PathConstraint`, `StateConstraint`, `ControlConstraint`, `MixedConstraint`, `Multiplier`, and their abstract supertypes.
+
+⚠️ `OpenLoop`, `ClosedLoop`, `DynClosedLoop` and the constraint kinds are **factory functions, not types**. They all build a `ControlLaw{F,Kind,…}` / `PathConstraint{F,Kind,…}`; the kind is a trait parameter, so `OpenLoop <: AbstractControlLaw` is a `TypeError`. Dispatch on the trait.
+
+Also new: `CTLie.dg_ad_backend` / `dg_ad_backend!` (global AD-backend control), `CTFlows.MultiPhase` (`n_phases`, `get_flow`, `get_switching_time`, …), and `CTSolvers.Integrators` (`SciML`, `final_state`, `evaluate_at`).
+
+## `OpenLoop` is unconditionally non-autonomous
+
+An open-loop control depends only on time — `u(t)` (or `u(t, v)`) — never on the state or costate, and autonomy is a property of the OCP, not of the control law itself. `OpenLoop` therefore does not offer `is_autonomous` as a real choice, unlike `ClosedLoop`/`DynClosedLoop`:
+
+```julia
+OpenLoop(t -> 1.0)              # the only spelling — always u(t), or u(t, v) with is_variable=true
+OpenLoop(() -> 1.0)             # wrong: constructs silently, MethodError once the flow is run
+```
+
+`is_autonomous` is kept as a misuse-detector keyword only: passing it (`true` or `false`) emits a `@warn` explaining that it has no effect, rather than silently doing nothing or being treated as a real choice. `ClosedLoop` and `DynClosedLoop` are unaffected — `is_autonomous` still governs their arity exactly as before.
+
+See [control-toolbox/CTBase.jl#515](https://github.com/control-toolbox/CTBase.jl/issues/515).
+
+## For package authors: the strategy contract
+
+If you define your own `AbstractStrategy`, you must now implement `parameter`:
+
+```julia
+CTBase.Strategies.parameter(::Type{<:MyStrategy}) = nothing               # non-parameterized
+CTBase.Strategies.parameter(::Type{MyStrategy{P}}) where {P} = P          # parameterized
+```
+
+This is **not** a rename of `CTSolvers.Strategies.get_parameter_type`, which returned `nothing` by default. The CTBase generic throws `NotImplemented` instead, and option routing calls it — so a strategy that omits it fails at `solve` time rather than being treated as non-parameterized.
+
+A caller that cannot guarantee a third-party strategy implements the contract should reach for the non-throwing `CTBase.Strategies.parameter(strategy_type, default)` — the `get(dict, key, default)`-style 2-arg accessor (CTBase ≥ 0.28.8-beta) — rather than writing its own `try`/`catch` around `NotImplemented`. OptimalControl's own display code does exactly this, and warns once per strategy type when the fallback is taken.
+
+## `describe` now covers every strategy
+
+`describe(:id)` previously only knew the *solve* registry (discretizer, NLP modeler, NLP solver). The AD backend and the ODE integrator are strategies in the same sense — `describe(:di)` and `describe(:sciml)` now work from the same single entry point, which merges the solve registry with CTFlows' flow registry (`Base.merge(::CTBase.Strategies.StrategyRegistry...)`, CTBase ≥ 0.28.8-beta).
+

+## [2.1.0-beta] — unreleased
+
+Dependency upgrade onto the restructured control-toolbox stack, CTLie integration, and a substantial test rework. See [BREAKING.md](BREAKING.md) for the migration guide.
+
+### Breaking
+
+- **`Flow` now requires an integrator to be loaded.** SciML is no longer a hard dependency; add `using OrdinaryDiffEqTsit5` (or another integrator) before building a flow. This changes every example's preamble.
+
+- **Differential geometry moved to CTLie**: `Lie(X, f)` → `ad(X, f)`; `X ⋅ f` **removed** with no alias; `HamiltonianLift` → `CTLie.LiftedHamiltonianFunction`, which is `<: Function` and **no longer** `<: AbstractHamiltonian`
+
+- **Flow call convention**: the variable has no positional slot any more and `variable=` is mandatory on `NonFixed` problems; `augment=` → `variable_costate=`; new `unsafe=` to suppress the ODE retcode check
+
+- **Constrained flows** take the paired keywords `constraint=` / `multiplier=` instead of three positional arguments. `constraint` now also accepts a `Symbol` naming a `:path` constraint already declared in the OCP
+
+- **Constructor keywords** take an `is_` prefix: `autonomous=` → `is_autonomous=`, `variable=` → `is_variable=`, on the `Data` constructors and on `@Lie`
+
+- **`time` and `success` are no longer re-exported.** Both resolve to bare `Base` functions — `CTModels.Components` extends `Base.time` without exporting it, and `CTModels.Solutions` exports the name `success` while defining no method for it, so `success(sol)` was always a `MethodError`. Use `successful(sol)`
+
+- **For package authors**: a custom `AbstractStrategy` must now implement `CTBase.Strategies.parameter`. This is not a rename of `get_parameter_type`, which defaulted to `nothing`; the CTBase generic throws `NotImplemented`, and option routing calls it
+
+- **`OpenLoop` is unconditionally non-autonomous.** An open-loop control depends only on time, `u(t)` (or `u(t, v)`) — autonomy is a property of the OCP, not of the control, so `is_autonomous` is not a real choice for `OpenLoop` the way it is for `ClosedLoop`/`DynClosedLoop`. `is_autonomous` is kept as a misuse-detector keyword that warns rather than doing nothing. See [CTBase.jl#515](https://github.com/control-toolbox/CTBase.jl/issues/515)
+
+### Added
+
+- **CTLie** as a dependency: `ad`, `Lift`, `Poisson`, `∂ₜ`, `@Lie`, and `dg_ad_backend` / `dg_ad_backend!` for global AD-backend control
+
+- **The full `CTBase.Data` type vocabulary** is re-exported — `Flow` dispatches on these, so building a flow explicitly previously meant reaching into the package by hand. Note that `OpenLoop`, `ClosedLoop`, `DynClosedLoop` and the constraint kinds are factory functions, not types: the kind is a trait parameter
+
+- `CTFlows.MultiPhase` (`n_phases`, `get_flow`, `get_switching_time`, …) and `CTSolvers.Integrators` (`SciML`, `final_state`, `evaluate_at`)
+
+- **`describe` now covers the full strategy surface.** `describe(:di)` and `describe(:sciml)` work from the same entry point as `describe(:ipopt)`, merging the solve registry with CTFlows' flow registry via `Base.merge` (CTBase ≥ 0.28.8-beta)
+
+- **Test problems are available in two front-end forms**, `:abstract` (the `@def` DSL) and `:functional` (the `CTModels.Building` API), and declare which solution methods they are fixtures for
+
+- **Indirect test fixtures carry their own shooting derivation** (`TestProblem.shoot_builder`, next to the problem itself), consumed generically by a single shooting sweep instead of being re-derived per problem and per test file
+
+- New test groups: extension arming, front-end equivalence, `hamiltonian_type`, the `Flow` API surface, the 1-D = scalar contract across both the direct and indirect paths, `describe` over the full strategy surface, and CPU/GPU routing — the device tier now *requires* a functional GPU on the self-hosted `kkt` runner rather than skipping unconditionally, so a degraded runner fails loudly instead of reporting green having run nothing
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Dependencies**: CTBase `0.28`, CTModels `0.15`, CTSolvers `0.4`, CTFlows `0.16`, CTDirect `1`, CTParser `0.8`; CTLie `0.1` added. SciML moved to `[extras]`. Direct dependencies 21 → 17
+
+- **Imports point at owning submodules** throughout, per the Handbook `modules.md` rule
+
+- **Extensions are explicitly armed.** A `[deps]` entry fires no extension — Julia loads one when its trigger package is loaded. ADNLPModels and DifferentiationInterface are now imported by `src/imports/`, without which the ADNLP modeler and the whole differential-geometry API were dead capabilities we still paid to install
+
+### Fixed
+
+- `_extract_strategy_parameters` no longer crashes on a strategy that has not implemented the optional parameter contract — display code should not be what fails on a third-party strategy. It now warns once per strategy type instead of staying silent, forwarding to CTBase's non-throwing `parameter(T, default)` accessor (CTBase ≥ 0.28.8-beta) rather than rolling its own `try`/`catch`

+sentinel as `default` recovers that distinction, so the second case can still get a `@warn`

+  `x0`/`xf`/`t0`/`tf`, expected parameters, switching times, …
+- `methods::Tuple{Vararg{Symbol}}`: which solution methods this problem is a
+  fixture for — see [`METHODS`](@ref)
+- `shoot_builder::Union{Function,Nothing}`: `nothing`, or a function of
+  signature `(; hamiltonian_type::Symbol=:total) -> (shoot!, ξ_exact, ξ_guess)`
+  — see below
+
+# `shoot_builder`
+
+The indirect fixture's shooting derivation, kept next to the problem rather
+than re-derived in every test file that needs it. `shoot!` has the flat-vector
+signature [`test_shooting`](@ref) expects — `shoot!(s, ξ) → nothing` — and
+`ξ_exact`/`ξ_guess` are the reference solution and a perturbed starting guess,
+both in that same flattened shape (typically `[p0; switching_times...; tf]`,
+whichever subset the problem's own structure actually has unknowns for).
+
+`hamiltonian_type` is a keyword rather than baked in because the same
+derivation is the vehicle for `suite/problems/test_hamiltonian_type.jl`, which
+needs both `:total` and `:partial` from the identical control laws — hence a
+function returning `(shoot!, ξ_exact, ξ_guess)` rather than a precomputed
+triple.
+
+`nothing` when the problem has no exploitable extremal structure — the
+quadrotor, for one.
+
+# Why `methods` exists
+
+Not every problem can be attacked both ways. The quadrotor has no exploitable
+extremal structure and no reference costate, so it is a *direct* fixture only;
+running a shooting sweep over the whole library would either skip it by name —
+a list that rots — or fail on it.
+
+Declaring the capability keeps generic loops honest:
+
+```julia
+for pb in problems_for(:indirect)
+    # every one of these has the shooting data it needs
+end
+```
+
+The precondition for `:indirect` is concrete: the problem must carry enough in
+`data` to build and check a shooting function (a reference `p0`, plus
+switching times and dynamics fields where the structure needs them).

+# Since CTSolvers#189 the extension trigger is

+# hand-writing its own control laws, `Flow`s and `shoot!` — a derivation now

+# What moved here: the shooting-residual checks, both at the known reference
+# and, via `test_shooting`, from a perturbed guess through Newton — the
+# convergence half neither of the three original files actually exercised.
+#
+# What did NOT move here: the problem-specific guard-rail assertions the three
+# files also carried (mandatory `variable=` on `NonFixed`, the
+# `constraint`/`multiplier` pairing, trajectory form, `Lift` type semantics).
+# Those test the `Flow` API, not the shooting derivation, and live in
+# `test_flow_api.jl` / `test_ctlie.jl` — most were already covered there
+# generically; the one gap (`variable=` mandatory when *omitted*) was added to
+# `test_flow_api.jl` alongside its mirror image ("no variable on a Fixed
+# flow"), which already existed.
+#
+# This file scales with the problem library by construction: any problem that

 # CTBase Reexports Tests

-# This file tests the reexport of symbols from `CTBase`. It verifies that
-# the expected types, functions, and constants are properly exported by
-# `OptimalControl` and readily accessible to the end user.
+# CTBase grew considerably in v2.1.0-beta. It now owns:
+#
+#   - the `Data` type vocabulary `Flow` dispatches on   (was CTFlows)
+#   - the whole strategy / option layer                 (was CTSolvers)
+#   - the traits (`is_autonomous`, `has_variable`, …)   (re-exported by CTModels)
+#
+# ⚠️ Several of these names — `describe`, `options`, `name`, `value`, `id`,
+# `force`, `parameter` — also exist in `Base` or in a sibling package, so
+# `isdefined` proves nothing about them. Ownership assertions throughout.

-# This file tests the reexport of symbols from `CTModels`. It verifies that

-# control problems (OCPs) are properly exported by `OptimalControl`.
+# Grouped by owning submodule (`Components`, `Models`, `Solutions`,
+# `Building`, `Init`, `Serialization`), matching src/imports/ctmodels.jl.
+#
+# Two v2.1.0-beta corrections are pinned down here:
+#
+#   - `time` is no longer a CTModels function. It is `Base.time`, extended by
+#     `CTModels.Components` but not exported. Re-exporting it was wrong.
+#   - the seven traits (`is_autonomous`, `has_variable`, …) are re-exported by
+#     `CTModels.Models` but *owned* by `CTBase.Traits` — they moved to
+#     test_ctbase.jl.
+#
+# ⚠️ `name`, `status`, `success`, `value`, `index`, `model` all collide with
+# `Base` or with a sibling package, so `isdefined` proves nothing about them.

+# ============================================================================
+# The 1-D = scalar contract, at OptimalControl's boundary
+# ============================================================================
+# A one-dimensional state, control or variable reaches the user's functions as
+# a **scalar**, not as a length-1 vector; anything higher stays a vector.
+#
+# ⚠️ Deliberately *not* a copy of the upstream test. `CTDirect.jl` already owns
+# the exhaustive version (`test/ci/test_shape_contract.jl`): every
+# discretisation scheme, mixed dimensions, dimension zero, and the
+# `_dim_coerce` primitive itself, driven through `__objective` /
+# `__constraints!` directly. Re-testing that here would be redundancy that
+# rots.
+#
+# What is *not* covered upstream, and is genuinely ours:
+#
+#   1. the contract surviving the whole OptimalControl `solve` stack, rather
+#      than a hand-built DOCP;
+#   2. the contract on the **indirect** path — CTFlows has no assertion for it,
+#      only defensive guards of the form `u(t) isa Number ? u(t) : u(t)[1]`,
+#      which tolerate either shape rather than pin one;
+#   3. the two paths **agreeing**. A 1-D problem must look the same whichever
+#      way it is solved, and nothing upstream can check that: it is precisely
+#      the seam between CTDirect and CTFlows that OptimalControl owns.
+#
+# The recording fakes live at module top level, per the Handbook recipe: a
+# closure would be recompiled per call site and the recorded types would say
+# more about the closure than about the coercion.
