 Description   
Original Downstream Change Summary

This ticket introduces a change in the format used to report ambiguous paths in the updateDescription field of a change stream update event, superseding the work done in SERVER-63861. Full details of the new format are available in the Syntax document here.

Description of Linked Ticket

In PM-1950 / SERVER-63861, we exposed additional information about the paths reported by a change stream update operation. This was motivated by the fact that these paths can sometimes be ambiguous; for instance, a dot embedded in a fieldname was indistinguishable from a path separator, and there was no way to tell whether a numeric path component referred to an array index or a field name.

While the syntax we introduced does resolve these ambiguities, we were not entirely satisfied with the end result; we think it will be too cumbersome for users to work with. We therefore propose to rework the format ahead of its release in 6.1.

Closing as "Won't Do" since this seems to be already documented by DOCS-15377. See the following page in the manual: https://www.mongodb.com/docs/v7.0/reference/change-events/update/#path-disambiguation
