+V2 has three intentional breaking changes:
+
+- [Plugins](#plugins) use a new plugin API.
+- The [server API and clients](#server-api-and-clients) have new contracts.
+- [TUI configuration](#tui-configuration) moves from layered `tui.json(c)` files to one global `cli.json` file (auto migrated).

+## TUI configuration
+
+V1 loaded `tui.json(c)` from the global config directory and from project directories discovered while walking up from
+the current directory. V2 instead stores CLI and TUI settings in one global file:
+
+```text
+~/.config/opencode/cli.json
+```
+
+The CLI owns this file. The background service does not load it, and V2 does not discover or merge project-local
+`tui.json(c)` or `cli.json` files.
+
+The native V2 format groups related settings. For example:
+
+```jsonc
+// V1: ~/.config/opencode/tui.json
+{
+  "theme": "tokyonight",
+  "scroll_speed": 2,
+  "scroll_acceleration": {
+    "enabled": true
+  }
+}
+
+// V2: ~/.config/opencode/cli.json
+{
+  "theme": {
+    "name": "tokyonight"
+  },
+  "scroll": {
+    "speed": 2,
+    "acceleration": true
+  }
+}
+```
+
+V2 migrates the global TUI configuration automatically. On the first CLI or TUI startup, when `cli.json` does not already
+exist, it:
+
+- Reads `~/.config/opencode/tui.json`.
+- Reads persisted TUI preferences from the legacy `kv.json` state file.
+- Converts supported settings to the native grouped format and writes `~/.config/opencode/cli.json`.
+- Leaves the V1 files unchanged so V1 can continue using them.
+
+Migration runs only while `cli.json` is absent. Once that file exists, V2 treats it as the source of truth and does not
+continually synchronize later changes from `tui.json` or `kv.json`. If you created `cli.json` before starting V2, merge any
+V1 settings you still need into it manually.
+
+Project-local V1 TUI configuration is not migrated because V2 has no project-local CLI configuration. Move settings you
+still want into the global `cli.json`; when multiple projects used different values for the same setting, choose the
+global behavior you want V2 to use.

 ## Plugins
 
 Rename `plugin` to `plugins`. Replace a package-and-options tuple with an object:
