Breaking-change evidence from the source
Breaking changes - Fix adapter.dispatch macro resolution when statically extracting macros. Introduce new project-level dispatch config. The packages argument to dispatch no longer supports macro calls; there is backwards compatibility for existing packages. The argument will no longer be supported in a future release, instead provide the macro_namespace argument. (#3362, #3363, #3383, #3403)
