subject is quite confusing, this isn't for what's commonly understood
w.r.t. the "VM/CT migration", i.e., live migration to another host.
You at least need to use the word "pool" somewhere..

Not sure if I'd call that a discussion, I stated:

And overlooked the "renaming to "migrate" or "migrate from other pool" part
in your reply (while at it, still missing the adding the API default).
This was not intended to be a final instruction to definitively use "migrate"
here, but rather open the discussion for a possible better name, or even keep
that if there's consensus that "transfer" or "reassign" is fine.

That again conflicts with your subject message and your statement that
you will rename it. Besides that, by whom has it been decided where?
This again sounds like there was some actual discussion, but I don't
see any.
If you want to keep transfer for now, ok, but do so consistently (e.g., also
in the commit message's subject here then – but still with "pool" mentioned,
otherwise one cannot possible know what this is actually about..)

if you use the word "vms" you'd need to write it as "VMs", but rather:
gettext('Virtual guests are removed from current pools'),

no need for this, just add:
extraRequestParams: {
transfer: 1,
}
to the edit window config.

I'd prefer:
if (vm.data.pool?.length) {
as !== '' seems rather brittle.
