+
+## Breaking Changes: Command Type Hierarchy Unification
+
+This migration guide covers the breaking changes introduced in the command type hierarchy unification. The main change is the removal of `CommandWithResult` and `CommandWithResultHandler` interfaces in favor of a unified `Command<TResult>` interface.
+
+### Summary of Changes
+
+- **Removed**: `CommandWithResult` interface
+- **Removed**: `CommandWithResultHandler` interface  
+- **Modified**: `Command` interface now accepts a generic type parameter `TResult`
+- **Added**: `Command.Unit` nested interface for commands that don't return results
+- **Modified**: `CommandHandler` interface now handles both unit and result-returning commands
+- **Added**: `CommandHandler.Unit` nested interface for unit command handlers
+
+### Before (Old API)
+
+```kotlin
+// Unit commands (no result)
+interface Command {
+  val type: Class<out Command> get() = this::class.java
+}
+
+interface CommandHandler<TCommand : Command> {
+  suspend fun handle(command: TCommand)
+}
+
+// Commands with results
+interface CommandWithResult<TResult> {
+  val type: Class<out CommandWithResult<TResult>> get() = this::class.java
+}
+
+interface CommandWithResultHandler<TCommand : CommandWithResult<TResult>, TResult> {
+  suspend fun handle(command: TCommand): TResult
+}
+```
+
+### After (New API)
+
+```kotlin
+// Unified command interface
+interface Command<TResult> {
+  val type: Class<out Command<TResult>> get() = this::class.java
+
+  // Nested interface for unit commands
+  interface Unit : Command<kotlin.Unit>
+}
+
+// Unified command handler interface
+interface CommandHandler<TCommand : Command<TResult>, TResult> {
+  suspend fun handle(command: TCommand): TResult
+
+  // Nested interface for unit command handlers
+  interface Unit<TCommand : Command.Unit> : CommandHandler<TCommand, kotlin.Unit>
+}
+```
+
+## Migration Steps
+
+### 0. Optional: Use Type Aliases for Gradual Migration
+
+To ease the migration process, you can temporarily add type aliases to your codebase. This allows you to migrate incrementally without breaking existing code:
+
+```kotlin
+// Add these type aliases to ease migration
+typealias CommandWithResult<T> = Command<T>
+typealias CommandWithResultHandler<TCommand, TResult> = CommandHandler<TCommand, TResult>
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- Allows gradual migration without breaking existing code
+- Helps during large codebase migrations
+- Can be removed once migration is complete
+
+**Usage:**
+1. Add the type aliases to a common file (e.g., `TypeAliases.kt`)
+2. Import them where needed
+3. Gradually replace usage with the new interfaces
+4. Remove the type aliases once migration is complete
+
+### 1. Update Unit Commands
+
+**Before:**
+```kotlin
+class CreateUserCommand : Command {
+  // command properties
+}
+
+class CreateUserCommandHandler : CommandHandler<CreateUserCommand> {
+  override suspend fun handle(command: CreateUserCommand) {
+    // handle command
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**After:**
+```kotlin
+class CreateUserCommand : Command.Unit {
+  // command properties
+}
+
+class CreateUserCommandHandler : CommandHandler.Unit<CreateUserCommand> {
+  override suspend fun handle(command: CreateUserCommand) {
+    // handle command
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Update Commands with Results
+
+**Before:**
+```kotlin
+class GetUserCommand(val userId: String) : CommandWithResult<User> {
+  // command properties
+}
+
+class GetUserCommandHandler : CommandWithResultHandler<GetUserCommand, User> {
+  override suspend fun handle(command: GetUserCommand): User {
+    // handle command and return result
+    return userRepository.findById(command.userId)
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**After:**
+```kotlin
+class GetUserCommand(val userId: String) : Command<User> {
+  // command properties
+}
+
+class GetUserCommandHandler : CommandHandler<GetUserCommand, User> {
+  override suspend fun handle(command: GetUserCommand): User {
+    // handle command and return result
+    return userRepository.findById(command.userId)
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Update Mediator Usage
+
+The mediator usage remains the same - no changes needed:
+
+```kotlin
+// Unit commands
+mediator.send(CreateUserCommand())
+
+// Commands with results
+val user = mediator.send(GetUserCommand("123"))
+```
+
+### 4. Update Dependency Injection Registration
+
+The handler registration remains the same since the framework automatically detects the correct handler types:
+
+#### Spring Boot
+```kotlin
+@Component
+class CreateUserCommandHandler : CommandHandler.Unit<CreateUserCommand> {
+  // implementation
+}
+
+@Component  
+class GetUserCommandHandler : CommandHandler<GetUserCommand, User> {
+  // implementation
+}
+```
+
+#### Koin
+```kotlin
+module {
+  single { CreateUserCommandHandler() } bind CommandHandler::class
+  single { GetUserCommandHandler() } bind CommandHandler::class
+}
+```
+
+#### Manual Registration
+```kotlin
+val mediator = MappingDependencyProvider.createMediator(
+  handlers = listOf(
+    CreateUserCommandHandler(),
+    GetUserCommandHandler()
+  )
+)
+```
+
+## Advanced Migration Scenarios
+
+### 1. Parameterized Commands
+
+**Before:**
+```kotlin
+class ParameterizedCommand<T>(val param: T) : Command
+
+class ParameterizedCommandHandler<T> : CommandHandler<ParameterizedCommand<T>> {
+  override suspend fun handle(command: ParameterizedCommand<T>) {
+    // handle
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**After:**
+```kotlin
+class ParameterizedCommand<T>(val param: T) : Command.Unit
+
+class ParameterizedCommandHandler<T> : CommandHandler.Unit<ParameterizedCommand<T>> {
+  override suspend fun handle(command: ParameterizedCommand<T>) {
+    // handle
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Parameterized Commands with Results
+
+**Before:**
+```kotlin
+class ParameterizedCommandWithResult<TParam, TReturn>(
+  val param: TParam,
+  val retFn: suspend (TParam) -> TReturn
+) : CommandWithResult<TReturn>
+
+class ParameterizedCommandWithResultHandler<TParam, TReturn> : 
+  CommandWithResultHandler<ParameterizedCommandWithResult<TParam, TReturn>, TReturn> {
+  override suspend fun handle(command: ParameterizedCommandWithResult<TParam, TReturn>): TReturn {
+    return command.retFn(command.param)
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**After:**
+```kotlin
+class ParameterizedCommandWithResult<TParam, TReturn>(
+  val param: TParam,
+  val retFn: suspend (TParam) -> TReturn
+) : Command<TReturn>
+
+class ParameterizedCommandWithResultHandler<TParam, TReturn> : 
+  CommandHandler<ParameterizedCommandWithResult<TParam, TReturn>, TReturn> {
+  override suspend fun handle(command: ParameterizedCommandWithResult<TParam, TReturn>): TReturn {
+    return command.retFn(command.param)
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Inheritance Scenarios
+
+**Before:**
+```kotlin
+sealed class BaseCommand : Command {
+  abstract val id: String
+}
+
+class SpecificCommand(override val id: String) : BaseCommand()
+
+class BaseCommandHandler : CommandHandler<BaseCommand> {
+  override suspend fun handle(command: BaseCommand) {
+    // handle
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**After:**
+```kotlin
+sealed class BaseCommand : Command.Unit {
+  abstract val id: String
+}
+
+class SpecificCommand(override val id: String) : BaseCommand()
+
+class BaseCommandHandler : CommandHandler.Unit<BaseCommand> {
+  override suspend fun handle(command: BaseCommand) {
+    // handle
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Benefits of the New API
+
+1. **Unified Interface**: Single `Command<TResult>` interface for all command types
+2. **Type Safety**: Better compile-time type checking with generic result types
+3. **Cleaner API**: Fewer interfaces to understand and implement
+4. **Consistency**: Aligns with `Query<TResult>` pattern already used in the library
+5. **Backward Compatibility**: Pipeline behaviors and mediator usage remain unchanged
+
+## Checklist for Migration
+
+- [ ] Replace `Command` implementations with `Command.Unit`
+- [ ] Replace `CommandHandler<TCommand>` with `CommandHandler.Unit<TCommand>`
+- [ ] Replace `CommandWithResult<TResult>` with `Command<TResult>`
+- [ ] Replace `CommandWithResultHandler<TCommand, TResult>` with `CommandHandler<TCommand, TResult>`
+- [ ] Update import statements to remove references to deleted interfaces
+- [ ] Test all command handlers to ensure they work correctly
+- [ ] Update any custom extensions or utilities that referenced the old interfaces
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Compilation Errors
+
+1. **"Unresolved reference: CommandWithResult"**
+   - Replace with `Command<TResult>`
+
+2. **"Unresolved reference: CommandWithResultHandler"**
+   - Replace with `CommandHandler<TCommand, TResult>`
+
+3. **"Type mismatch" errors on unit commands**
+   - Ensure unit commands implement `Command.Unit`
+   - Ensure unit handlers implement `CommandHandler.Unit<TCommand>`
+
+### Runtime Issues
+
+1. **HandlerNotFoundException**
+   - Ensure handlers are properly registered with dependency injection
+   - Check that command and handler types match exactly
+
+2. **ClassCastException**
+   - Verify generic type parameters are correctly specified
+   - Ensure handler return types match command result types
+
