To make this frictionless, I’m currently wrapping up a major addition to <strong>n98-magerun2</strong>: PR #2158 introduces the read-only db:compatibility command.</p> <p><strong>What it does:</strong> It automatically checks whether your installed (or target) Magento Open Source, Adobe Commerce, or Mage-OS release is officially supported on your current MySQL or MariaDB engine.</p> <p><strong>Key technical highlights:</strong></p> <p>• <strong>Dedicated Mage-OS Detection:</strong> Detects Mage-OS as its own first-class product with its own versioning (e.g., 3.0.0), rather than silently treating it as plain upstream Magento.<br> • <strong>Schema-Validated &amp; Live-Enriched:</strong> Backed by a versioned dataset generated from <strong>magento.watch</strong> (no hand-authored guesswork). Running with --online fetches real-time updates directly.<br> • <strong>MariaDB Lifecycle Data:</strong> Enriches status, support type, and EOL dates on the fly via the MariaDB Foundation REST API—kept strictly separate from the compatibility verdict.<br> • <strong>Automation &amp; CI Friendly:</strong> Clean standard CLI output by default, verbose (-v) breakdown with full citations/lifecycle tables, and comprehensive --format=json export.<br> • <strong>Robust Pipeline:</strong> Bundled dataset validation via JSON Schema in build.sh, complete with atomic refresh logic and agent maintenance skills (.agents/skills/).</p> <p>Feedback and reviews from the community are very welcome!
