Use when upgrading a zymtrace backend that's already deployed via Helm. Covers image-tag-only bumps, chart-version bumps, and combined upgrades. Handles the migration job, --reset-then-reuse-values requirement, rollback when --atomic fails, and post-upgrade verification. Trigger phrases: "upgrade zymtrace", "upgrade zymtrace backend", "bump zymtrace version", "update zymtrace to 26.5.0 / latest", "helm upgrade zymtrace", "upgrade the chart", "bump backend image tag…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Upgrade zymtrace Backend

Helps the user upgrade an already-installed zymtrace backend. Three paths:

| Path | What changes | When to use |
|------|-------------|------------|
| **A. Image-only bump** | `services.common.imageTag` (and pulled image) | Apply a patch/hotfix on the same chart. Lowest risk. |
| **B. Chart version bump** | Helm chart version + templates + defaults | New chart features, schema additions, new config keys. |
| **C. Combined** | Chart + image together | The common case for moving between zymtrace minor/major releases. |

Deep details (backup, rollback, schema migrations, the `migrate` job) live in `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/upgrade-zymtrace-backend/reference.md`.

> Fresh install? Use the `install-zymtrace-backend` skill instead.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add zystem-io/zymtrace-skills/upgrade-zymtrace-backend@sha256:da9046596d6b68c3

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260715.fbd20f5, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
