Migrate from LaunchDarkly to OpenFeature
org.openrewrite.featureflags.launchdarkly.MigrateLaunchDarklyToOpenFeature
Migrate call sites from the LaunchDarkly server SDK to the vendor-neutral OpenFeature API, backed by the LaunchDarkly OpenFeature provider. Flag evaluations are renamed and their arguments reordered (LaunchDarkly takes the context as the second argument; OpenFeature takes it last), LDContext construction becomes MutableContext, and LDClient becomes dev.openfeature.sdk.Client. The one-time provider bootstrap (OpenFeatureAPI.setProviderAndWait(...)) is intentionally left for manual configuration.
