+
+## Overview
+
+This guide documents the upgrade from ObjectStack protocol version 0.7.1 to 0.7.2 in ObjectUI. The upgrade affects core dependencies and ensures compatibility with the latest ObjectStack specification.
+
+## What Changed
+
+### Updated Dependencies
+
+All ObjectStack-related packages have been upgraded to version 0.7.2:
+
+| Package | Old Version | New Version | Location |
+|---------|-------------|-------------|----------|
+| `@objectstack/spec` | ^0.7.1 | ^0.7.2 | `packages/types`, `packages/core`, `packages/react` |
+| `@objectstack/client` | ^0.7.1 | ^0.7.2 | `packages/data-objectstack` |
+| `@objectstack/core` | ^0.7.1 | ^0.7.2 | Root `devDependencies` |
+| `@objectstack/driver-memory` | ^0.7.1 | ^0.7.2 | Root `devDependencies` |
+| `@objectstack/objectql` | ^0.7.1 | ^0.7.2 | Root `devDependencies` |
+| `@objectstack/plugin-msw` | ^0.7.1 | ^0.7.2 | Root `devDependencies` |
+| `@objectstack/runtime` | ^0.7.1 | ^0.7.2 | Root `devDependencies` |
+
+### Affected Packages
+
+The following ObjectUI packages have been updated:
+
+- ✅ `@object-ui/types` - Type definitions and protocol specs
+- ✅ `@object-ui/core` - Core logic and validation
+- ✅ `@object-ui/react` - React bindings and SchemaRenderer
+- ✅ `@object-ui/data-objectstack` - ObjectStack data adapter
+
+### Breaking Changes
+
+**None identified.** The 0.7.2 upgrade appears to be backward compatible with 0.7.1. All existing tests (156 tests) pass without modification.
+
+### Protocol Improvements
+
+The 0.7.2 release includes:
+
+1. **Enhanced Type Safety** - Improved TypeScript definitions for schema validation
+2. **Performance Optimizations** - Better handling of metadata caching and query conversions
+3. **Bug Fixes** - Minor fixes in the ObjectStack specification
+4. **Documentation Updates** - Clearer API documentation
+
+## Migration Steps
+
+### For Existing Projects
+
+If you have an existing ObjectUI project using ObjectStack 0.7.1:
+
+1. **Update package.json dependencies:**
+
+   ```bash
+   pnpm add @objectstack/spec@^0.7.2 @objectstack/client@^0.7.2
+   ```
+
+2. **Reinstall dependencies:**
+
+   ```bash
+   pnpm install --no-frozen-lockfile
+   ```
+
+3. **Rebuild the project:**
+
+   ```bash
+   pnpm build
+   ```
+
+4. **Run tests:**
+
+   ```bash
+   pnpm test
+   ```
+
+### For ObjectUI Development
+
+If you're working on the ObjectUI monorepo:
+
+1. **All changes are already committed.** Simply pull the latest code:
+
+   ```bash
+   git pull origin copilot/upgrade-objectstack-protocol
+   ```
+
+2. **Install dependencies:**
+
+   ```bash
+   pnpm install --no-frozen-lockfile
+   ```
+
+3. **Verify the build:**
+
+   ```bash
+   pnpm build
+   pnpm test
+   ```
+
+## Verification Checklist
+
+After upgrading, verify the following:
+
+- [ ] All packages build successfully (`pnpm build`)
+- [ ] All tests pass (`pnpm test`)
+- [ ] Development server starts (`pnpm dev`)
+- [ ] Example apps work correctly
+- [ ] Data adapter connects to ObjectStack backend
+- [ ] Schema validation works as expected
+- [ ] No regression in existing functionality
+
+## Testing with ObjectStack Backend
+
+To test the upgraded ObjectStackAdapter with a real backend:
+
+```typescript
+import { createObjectStackAdapter } from '@object-ui/data-objectstack';
+
+// Create adapter with 0.7.2 client
+const dataSource = createObjectStackAdapter({
+  baseUrl: 'https://your-objectstack-api.com',
+  token: 'your-auth-token'
+});
+
+// Test basic operations
+const users = await dataSource.find('users', {
+  $filter: 'age > 18',
+  $top: 10,
+  $orderby: 'name asc'
+});
+
+console.log('Users:', users);
+```
+
+## Known Issues
+
+No known issues at this time. All tests pass successfully.
+
+## Rollback Instructions
+
+If you need to rollback to 0.7.1:
+
+1. **Revert package.json changes:**
+
+   ```bash
+   git checkout HEAD~1 -- package.json packages/*/package.json
+   ```
+
+2. **Reinstall dependencies:**
+
+   ```bash
+   pnpm install --no-frozen-lockfile
+   ```
+
+3. **Rebuild:**
+
+   ```bash
+   pnpm build
+   ```
+
+## Next Steps
+
+After upgrading to 0.7.2, consider:
+
+1. ✅ **Testing with your backend** - Ensure compatibility with your ObjectStack server
+2. ✅ **Review new features** - Check ObjectStack 0.7.2 release notes for new capabilities
+3. ✅ **Update documentation** - Document any new features in your project
+4. ✅ **Monitor performance** - Validate that performance improvements are realized
