 *   **Deprecation Pattern (Python):**
+    For a renamed config key, use the shared `cv.rename_key` validator with `removed_in` (and `component` for context) — it warns and auto-migrates:
+    ```python
+    CONFIG_SCHEMA = cv.All(
+        cv.rename_key(
+            CONF_OLD_KEY, CONF_NEW_KEY, removed_in="2026.6.0", component="my_component"
+        ),
+        cv.Schema({ ... }),
+    )
+    ```
+    For other deprecations, warn manually during validation:
    ```python
    # Remove before 2026.6.0
    if CONF_OLD_KEY in config:
-        _LOGGER.warning(f"'{CONF_OLD_KEY}' deprecated, use '{CONF_NEW_KEY}'. Removed in 2026.6.0")
+        _LOGGER.warning(
+            f"'{CONF_OLD_KEY}' deprecated, use '{CONF_NEW_KEY}'. Removed in 2026.6.0"

        config[CONF_NEW_KEY] = config.pop(CONF_OLD_KEY)  # Auto-migrate
