Document the scope and effort required to upgrade from Chakra UI v2.8.2 to v3. The analysis covers current usage (83 files, 45+ components), major breaking changes, and provides an estimated 15-25 day effort for the migration. Key findings: - Theme system requires complete rewrite (extendTheme → createSystem) - Components restructured to compound pattern (Modal → Dialog.Root) - Boolean props renamed (isOpen → open, isDisabled → disabled) - @chakra-ui/icons removed, requires migration to lucide-react - No incremental migration path due to provider conflicts Also includes detailed comparison of alternative libraries (Mantine, Radix UI, shadcn/ui) since migration effort may be comparable to switching libraries entirely.

Note: Upgrading the UI library is not among the CODAP V3 requirements, but I was curious about Claude's assessment. I was not expecting the upgrade to be this expensive, however, and I find Claude's suggestion that switching to another library would be a similar effort to upgrading to ChakraUI v3 fascinating.
Summary

Current Usage:
Major Breaking Changes in v3:

Recommendation: Plan a dedicated 3-4 week sprint. Migration cannot be done incrementally. Consider whether Mantine or another library might offer a smoother path with better long-term stability.
