# Schema 1 to schema 2

Schema 2 is intentionally not loaded as schema 1. Keep the installed v0.1 Tend
binary available until the first schema-2 activation and rollback have both
been exercised.

1. Move each configuration to `/etc/tend/services/<service>.json`.
2. Set `schema_version` to `2`.
3. Add `service.environment_file` below `/etc/tend/environment/`.
4. Create that file as a regular root-owned file with mode `0600`. Move secret
   values out of JSON. Do not put the environment file in Git. For a singleton,
   keep its `listen_env` key out of this shared file: set the live address in
   the installed unit and let Tend supply only the candidate address.
5. Set every service's `deployment.lock_file` to
   `/run/lock/tend-deploy.lock`.
6. Add one or more query-free HTTPS `deployment.public_smoke` checks.
7. Update installed systemd units to read the same environment file as the
   transient candidate.
8. Install a root-owned `0600` receive policy mapping each service name to its
   exact configuration and artifact-size ceiling.
9. Run `tend check-server` as root before accepting a transfer.
10. Validate, activate, rollback, and reactivate one service at a time. Confirm
    unrelated services never restart.

Tend does not discover `.env`, infer old values, rewrite a production file, or
silently migrate state. For local development, copy a committed `.env.example`
to an ignored `.env.local`, restrict its mode, and load it with the application's
own tooling. Tend never loads local dotenv files implicitly.
