# Manual Identity Migration

> A technique for renaming files one container at a time by hand, re-pointing each pattern and comparing what each aggregator collects before and after.

Record: `architecture:manual-identity-migration`
Kind: technique
Layer: [Structural Core](https://banes-lab.com/records/layer/structural-core.md)
Severity: mandatory
Scope: repository, refactor
Canonical: https://banes-lab.com/ontology#architecture-manual-identity-migration

Listed in [Architecture principles](https://banes-lab.com/api/records/architecture.md), after [Set-Relative Member Name](https://banes-lab.com/records/architecture/set-relative-member-name.md) and before [Collision Consolidation](https://banes-lab.com/records/architecture/collision-consolidation.md).

## Repair

- Refactored by: Re-point the Pattern, Verify the Collected Count
- Detected by: a shape-discovered surface whose collected count changed across a rename
- Violated by: renaming by tool across a tree whose aggregators resolve by pattern
- Measured by: collected-member delta per aggregator
- Enforced by: per-container reshape review, gate green between containers
