 ## Upgrading Dawn
 
-The Dawn version is pinned in two places that must stay in sync:
+The Dawn version tracks the one shipped by `@shopify/react-native-skia` Graphite builds: the pin is the exact Dawn commit from the Skia milestone's DEPS file (`third_party/externals/dawn` in Skia's DEPS). It is recorded in two places that must stay in sync:
 
-- `.gitmodules` → `submodule.externals/dawn.branch` (e.g. `chromium/7849`)
-- `packages/webgpu/package.json` → the `"dawn"` field (same value, e.g. `chromium/7849`)
+- the `externals/dawn` submodule gitlink (the commit the submodule points at)
+- `packages/webgpu/package.json` → `"dawn"` (a human-readable label, e.g. `chrome-m150`; Skia milestones mirror Chrome milestones) and `"dawnCommit"` (the exact commit hash)
 
-`yarn install-dawn` downloads **prebuilt** binaries from a GitHub release tagged `dawn-<branch-slug>` (e.g. `dawn-chromium-7849`); the release host is configured at the top of `scripts/install-dawn.ts`. `yarn build-dawn` builds the same binaries from the submodule source instead.
+The **Build Dawn** workflow verifies the gitlink matches `dawnCommit` and fails otherwise.
