Are model attributes and relationships autotracked?

I remember reading somewhere that model attributes and relationships are autotracked, but I can’t find any documentation on that. It does however seem to be the case when I change model attributes or relationships in the console without set. If this is the case, is it safe to change this.set() references in a model to not use set(), assuming it is only changing an attribute or relationship reference and not a nested value of an object attribute (i.e. no transform)?

They are implemented as computed properties. For example, attr is here. Computed properties interoperate with tracked properties, which is why you can freely mix them.

As far as I know, you’re safe changing attributes and relationships without set (since Ember 3.13).
