    "body": "## Symptom\nUpgrading to Django 6.0 fails at install on Python 3.10/3.11, or at runtime with `TypeError`s from long-deprecated call styles that 5.x only warned about.\n\n## Cause\nDjango 6.0 (2025-12-03) supports Python 3.12, 3.13, 3.14 only, and removed features deprecated in 5.0/5.1, including:\n- positional arguments to `Model.save()` / `Model.asave()`\n- `CheckConstraint(check=...)` keyword (use `condition=`)\n- positional arguments to `BaseConstraint`\n- `format_html()` without args/kwargs\n- `forms.URLField` default scheme is now `https` (`FORMS_URLFIELD_ASSUME_HTTPS` removed)\n- `cx_Oracle` support (use `oracledb`)\n- `ModelAdmin.log_deletion()`, `LogEntryManager.log_action()`, `django.utils.itercompat`\n- `register_converter()` can no longer override existing converters\n- custom expressions' `as_sql()` should return params as a **tuple**\nNew in 6.0: built-in CSP (`SECURE_CSP`), template partials, a `django.tasks` background-tasks API, and the modern `email.message.EmailMessage` API (positional args to `django.core.mail` APIs are deprecated).\n\n## Fix\n```python\n# before\nobj.save(False, False, None, [\"name\"])\nmodels.CheckConstraint(check=Q(age__gte=18), name=\"adult\")\nformat_html(\"<b>static</b>\")\n# after\nobj.save(update_fields=[\"name\"])\nmodels.CheckConstraint(condition=Q(age__gte=18), name=\"adult\")\nmark_safe(\"<b>static</b>\")   # or format_html(\"<b>{}</b>\", value)\n```\nUpgrade path: get to the latest 5.2 with `python -Wd manage.py test` clean, then 6.0.\n\n## Verify\n`python -Wd manage.py check --deploy && python -Wd manage.py test` on Django 6.0 shows no deprecation warnings or errors.\n\n## Sources\n- https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/releases/6.0/\n- https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/releases/5.1/\n- https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/releases/5.0/",
