 - Adds a schema **diff subsystem** (`BerlinDB\Database\Diff\`, decoupled from `Kern`):
   a pure, stateless `Comparator` compares two schemas and returns a `Patch` describing
-  the changes that transform one into the other - added/dropped columns and indexes
-  (matched by identity; the primary key by type). `Schema::diff( Schema $other )` is the
-  pure entry point; `Table::diff()` introspects the live table and compares it to the

+- A `Table` version bump with no bespoke upgrade callback now reconciles added
+  columns and indexes against its declared Schema by default. This automatic
+  upgrade uses a complete live-schema snapshot and defers when introspection is
+  incomplete. Set `reconcile => false` to retain a version-only bump, `true` to

+  automatic reconciliation applies only when none are pending (#224).
 - `Schema::from_table()` now introspects **indexes** as well as columns: it runs
   `SHOW INDEX FROM`, groups the rows by `Key_name`, and builds an `Index` per group via
   `Index::from_mysql()`, so a live table round-trips losslessly into a `Schema` (#224
