Concerns: Maintainability/support.
Run a scheduled workflow that checks if current year produces diff between last year.
if no diff: create new directory for current year and copy over the old degree plan
create a PR for copying of degree plan
if diff, open Jira ticket
If a shared requirement changes logically, create a new edge case prefixed with “y{currentYear}” for that specific major
Do we support degrees before 2022?
No
We’ll keep all the degree plans, including old ones
Run it once a year
Run it one time a year automatically, if issues occur. Allow workflow to be run manually.

If no diff copyover files to new year directory and make a PR
