Dear Maintainer,

It seems that 'gh' is gravely out of date, now to a point that it
becomes difficult to use, as exemplified by this short command line
example (done in a checkout of a git branch for which there is a PR):

    $ gh pr view
    GraphQL: Projects (classic) is being deprecated in favor of the new Projects experience, see: https://github.blog/changelog/2024-05-23-sunset-notice-projects-classic/. (repository.pullRequests.nodes.0.projectCards)

This ties in to #1117485, but at this point, it can't be regarded a
"wishlist" any longer.

Cheers,
Richard

Hello,

I can confirm this bug is still present and reproducible on
gh 2.46.0-4 (sid) as of 2026-05-17.

Running:
  gh pr view 45669 --repo cilium/cilium

Returns immediately with exit code 1:

  GraphQL: Projects (classic) is being deprecated in favor of the new
  Projects experience. (repository.pullRequest.projectCards)

This makes `gh pr view` completely non-functional for any repository.

Upstream resolved this beyond version 2.46.0. The current upstream
release is v2.92.0 (2026-04-28), meaning Debian is 46 versions behind.

I intend to work on updating the package to a current upstream version
and will coordinate via the debian-go mailing list.
