PrestaShop 9.1 changes `CartRule.php` more than many module developers expect

Question

What changes in CartRule.php between PrestaShop 9.0.x and 9.1.x?

PrestaShop 9.1.x introduces the foundations of a new Discount system inside CartRule.php, protected by a feature flag.

That sounds safe at first — and it is, because backward compatibility is preserved while the flag is disabled. But once enabled, several important behaviors change, especially around discount typing, ORDER_LEVEL calculation, shipping inclusion, and compatibility rules. (nicolas-dabene.fr)
