Migration Notes

For SDK Consumers

Update code that creates StockClass to use the new type:

// Before (v28)
const stockClass = {
  initial_shares_authorized: 1000000.0
}

// After (v29)
const stockClass = {
  initial_shares_authorized: { tag: 'OcfInitialSharesNumeric', value: '1000000.0' }
}

// Or for enum values (v29)
const stockClass = {
  initial_shares_authorized: { tag: 'OcfInitialSharesEnum', value: 'OcfAuthorizedSharesUnlimited' }
}

Update code that creates EquityCompensationIssuance to include the new optional field:

// After (v29) - optional field, can be omitted or set
const issuance = {
  // ... other fields
  option_grant_type: null  // or { tag: 'OcfOptionISO' }
}
