| <h2 id="switch-package">Switch to a per-side package</h2> | ||
|
|
||
| Pick the package by **who owns the runtime**, not by which features you need — both expose the same API — and not by which side is cheaper to declare. Code that runs on an end user's device belongs on `@ably/pubsub-device`; code that runs on infrastructure you operate belongs on `@ably/pubsub-server`. See [What declaring a side means](#what-declaring-a-side-means) for why this matters. | ||
|
|
||
| ```sh | ||
| npm uninstall ably | ||
|
|
||
| npm install @ably/pubsub-device # in an app that runs on your users' devices | ||
| npm install @ably/pubsub-server # in a backend service that you operate | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| `@ably/pubsub-core` is an exact peer dependency of both, and npm installs it for you. You do not need to depend on it directly, and should not import from it: everything it exports is re-exported from the package you installed. The three packages release together on the same version, so keep them in step. | ||
|
|
||
| A repository with both a frontend and a backend installs both packages, one in each. They are independent, and nothing stops a single monorepo containing both. |

Limit the API-equivalence claim to the shared core API. @ably/pubsub-device exports modular, React, push, and React Native push subpaths, but @ably/pubsub-server exports only its root and liveobjects subpath. The root packages also expose different factories. Therefore, “both expose the same API” can lead readers to use an unavailable server subpath or factory. Replace it with “both expose the shared core API”; the later export table already documents the remaining differences.

The next major carries five independent breaking changes — the package split, the client factories, the Rest -> Http rename, the removal of the deprecated surface, and the new agent identifiers — and nothing told a v2 user how they fit together or in what order to take them. Follow the v2 guide's shape: a numbered path through the migration, ordered so that everything doable while still on v2 comes first and the version bump itself stays small. Each step is derived from the change it documents rather than from its commit message — the endpoint equivalence table from both versions of `normaliseOptions`, the rename tables from the exported names in ably.d.ts, modular.d.ts and liveobjects.d.ts. Three consequences are called out because they fail silently or late: v3 ignores `environment`, `restHost` and `realtimeHost` rather than rejecting them, so a stale option sends traffic to the default endpoint unannounced; `@ably/pubsub-server` on token auth needs the signed `x-ably-clientType=server` claim in place before deploy, or the connection is rejected; and a device client on an MAU-billed account is rejected at connect without a client ID. No CHANGELOG entry yet — the guide gets linked from the release notes when v3 is versioned, as the v2 guides are. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Add the server token-claim change to the breaking-changes table. The server-token-auth section requires the signed x-ably-clientType=server claim and states that connections are rejected without it. The table omits this requirement, so v2-to-v3 migrators may deploy the server package before updating their token issuer and fail to connect.
