Execution-only guide for a coding agent migrating a third-party app from `stream-chat-react` v14 to v15. Apply the changes below and fix each compile or runtime break before moving on. For evidence and edge cases, verify against the installed SDK source (see below).

- `CommandChip.command`, `CommandItem.entity`, `MessageComposerCommand.command`: `CommandResponse` → `Command`, where `args`, `description` and `set` are required.
- **Command names are `string`.** `stream-chat` v10 removes `CustomCommandData`, and `stream-chat-react` removes `DefaultCommandData` with it. In v14, `command.name` / `command.set` were `CommandVariants` (the built-in names plus the keys of `CustomCommandData`); in v15 they are plain `string`. Delete the `interface CustomCommandData extends DefaultCommandData {}` line from your `declare module 'stream-chat'` block and the `DefaultCommandData` import (`TS2305`). A leftover `CustomCommandData` augmentation without that import still compiles and does nothing, so search for the name. To keep a checked set of command names, declare the union in your app:

```ts
import type { Command } from 'stream-chat';

type AppCommandName = 'giphy' | 'poll';

export const isAppCommand = (
command: Command,
): command is Command & { name: AppCommandName } =>
command.name === 'giphy' || command.name === 'poll';
```

- `DefaultSuggestionListItemEntity`: `anon`, `channel_last_read_at`, `notifications_muted`, `privacy_settings`, `push_notifications`, `shadow_banned` and `username` are gone (v10 user custom fields live in `entity.custom`); dates are `TimestampNS`; `teams_role` is `Record<string, string>`.
- `getQuotedMessageAuthor` (on `QuotedMessagePreview` and its props): `(message: LocalMessage | MessageResponse) => string`. A callback typed with `LocalMessage` only is rejected under `strictFunctionTypes`. `QuotedMessagePreviewUI.quotedMessage`: `LocalMessage | MessageResponse`.
- `GeolocationPreviewProps.location`, `useAttachmentsForPreview().location`: `StaticLocationPreview`.

Fix the BC-078 index link.

[BC-078](#bc-078) does not resolve. The file has no explicit bc-078 anchor, and the BC-078 heading generates a longer fragment. Point the link at the generated fragment.

Review comment at @ai-docs/v15-breaking-changes.md at line 147:
Update the BC-078 index link in the table to target the heading’s generated
fragment, so it resolves without adding an explicit anchor.

- `02-ui-components/09-message-composer/05-ui_components.md` (`CommandChip`)
- Example needed: no (belongs under the guide's "Dates on response types" and v10 data-shape umbrella, which other areas will also feed)

### BC-078: `CustomCommandData` augmentation and `DefaultCommandData` are removed; command names are `string`

- Status: confirmed
- Area: custom data types, commands
- User impact: compile error `TS2305` on `import type { DefaultCommandData } from 'stream-chat-react'`, and, with a `stream-chat` release after `10.0.0-rc.31`, on `import type { CustomCommandData } from 'stream-chat'` once no augmentation of it is left in the program. Command names lose their type: v14 typed `command.name` / `command.set` as `CommandVariants` (the built-in names plus the keys of `CustomCommandData`), so a typo such as `command.name === 'gihpy'` failed to compile; v15 types them as `string`, and it compiles. A leftover `interface CustomCommandData { … }` in `declare module 'stream-chat'` still compiles and has no effect, because nothing reads it.
- Old API:
- `DefaultCommandData` (exported from `stream-chat-react`)
- `declare module 'stream-chat' { interface CustomCommandData extends DefaultCommandData {} }`
- Replacement: delete the `CustomCommandData` augmentation and the `DefaultCommandData` import. `Command['name']` and `Command['set']` are `string`; an app that wants a checked set of names declares its own union and narrows `command.name` against it.
- Evidence:
- `release-v14:src/types/defaultDataInterfaces.ts:11` `export interface DefaultCommandData {}`; `release-v14:src/@types/stream-chat-custom-data.d.ts:23` augments `CustomCommandData` with it
- `stream-chat` `v9.54.4:src/types.ts:2772-2781` `CommandVariants = 'all' | 'ban' | 'fun_set' | 'giphy' | 'moderation_set' | 'mute' | 'unban' | 'unmute' | keyof CustomCommandData`, used by `CommandResponse.name` / `set` (`:470-475`)
- `master:node_modules/stream-chat/src/gen/models/index.ts:2551-2568` `Command.name: string`, `Command.set: string`
- `stream-chat` `release-v10` removes `CustomCommandData` from `src/custom_types.ts` and the root exports after `10.0.0-rc.31` (REACT-1363); `10.0.0-rc.31`, which `master` pins, still exports it
- `master:src/types/defaultDataInterfaces.ts` has no `DefaultCommandData`
- examples: `release-v14:examples/ai-chatbot/src/components/stream-chat.d.ts:4,25` imported and augmented it
- Docs impact:
- `02-state/01-state-and-entities/06-data-conventions.md` ("Custom data types": drop the `CustomCommandData` line)
- `08-release-guides/01-upgrade-to-v15.md` (add a row: delete `CustomCommandData` augmentations and the `DefaultCommandData` import)
- Example needed: no
