Yeah I feel like Claude Code is basically tailor made for a use-case like this. Where:

* I have forked some public repository that has kept up with upstream (IE; lots of example code to draw from)

* Upstream is publishing documentation on what's changing

* The errors are somewhat google-able

* Can be done in a VM and thrown away

* Limited attack surface anyway.

I think you're downvoted because the comment comes across as glib and handwavy (or not moving the discussion forward.. maybe?), and if it was a year ago I would probably argue against it.. but I think Claude Code can definitely help with this.

It just didn't exist as it does in 2023~ or whenever it was that I originally started having issues.

That said: it shouldn't be necessary. As others in this thread have articulated (well, imo) sometimes software is "done" and Hugo could be "done" software, except it's not; so the onus is on the operator to pin their definition of "done" version.. which is not what you'd expect.
