After a 2.4.7-p3 to 2.4.8-p3 upgrade, setup:upgrade throws 'Cannot instantiate interface AttributeRepositoryInterface'. The root cause is stale compiled DI. Here is the exact recovery recipe plus the extension audit to run if it returns.
Magento 2.4.9 reached GA and Mage-OS 2.3.0 followed a day later. Here's what actually changed in the supported stack: PHP 8.5, OpenSearch 3.x, Valkey, Symfony Cache, which distribution to run, and a no-fluff upgrade checklist before 2.4.6 hits end of support.
There are two honest ways to check whether a Magento extension is Hyvä-compatible, manual grep across the module source, and the hyva-themes/magento2-compatibility-checker CLI. Neither one catches everything. This post lists the exact bash one-liners I run against vendor/, walks through what the official Hyvä compat CLI flags and what it silently ignores (Magewire deps, GraphQL schema needs, form validation libs), and ends with the checklist I work through when the CLI prints "compatible" but the module still throws KO errors in the Hyvä storefront on Magento 2.4.4-2.4.9.
Most Hyvä compatibility tutorials stop at "install hyva-themes/magento2-default-theme and pray". This one ports a real Luma-only filter extension, Mageplaza Layered Navigation, to Hyvä across five concrete phases with diffs at every step. Phase 1: composer require the compat-module shell. Phase 2: copy the phtml and strip Knockout data-bind. Phase 3: rebuild the live-filter UI in Alpine.js against the existing Magento AJAX endpoint. Phase 4: swap Luma selectors for Tailwind utility classes that follow the Hyvä theme tokens. Phase 5: a Magewire wire-up for the count badges that need server-side reactivity. Plus a decision matrix on when to ditch the port and buy the Hyvä Catalog Add-on instead.
Your Luma extension worked yesterday on Magento Blank. Today on Hyvä it renders nothing, or worse, breaks the page silently with no console error. The fix is not "reinstall the module" or "flush cache". There is a diagnostic order, four checks in sequence, each with a distinct DevTools signal, that resolves 95% of Luma-to-Hyvä incompatibilities. This guide walks the order using real modules we have debugged (Mageplaza, Amasty, MGS) on Magento 2.4.4-2.4.9 production sites. Each step has the actual symptom, the actual signal, and the actual fix, not a generic compatibility checklist.
Most Magento 2 extensions ship for Luma only: Knockout bindings, RequireJS components, jQuery widgets. Hyvä replaces all three. The good news: a 4-step pattern handles 90% of ports. Here is the exact workflow with code for Klarna, Stripe, and Yotpo.
