It would be nice on Emacs startup, if Package could detect
incompatible byte code in packages compiled with a different
version of Emacs, and offer to recompile them.
What happens now in this situation is that on startup a message is
displayed complaining of invalid byte code in the user's init file
which is slightly confusing, and not very helpful. [Or, at least,
not as helpful as offering to recompile the offending package.]

(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)
Do you have an example of such a message on startup?
In general, it's not just invalid bytecode that's a problem, but also
other things like macros that have changed definitions (so the old
.elc doesn't quite work right). But that's hard to detect.
There should perhaps be a command to recompile all installed packages?
Or does that exist somewhere? (I don't see any such command...)

Perhaps Stefan knows; added to the CCs.

There should be a command/function to recompile an installed package,
and maybe another to do the same for all packages, yes.
I don't think the OP's situation would be best served by recompiling
everything, because usually recompilation is only needed for those few
packages that were compiled a *long* time ago ( where I'd expect most
packages have probably been recompiled since then because of
package updates).
But there's definitely room for improvement along the path of:
detecting the presence of a file that's too old, figuring out which
package needs to be recompiled, and then recompiling it.

OK; I've now added two commands for that to Emacs 29.

I'm not sure there's any way of doing that that would be reliable enough
not to be annoying? That is, we can determine if an .elc file is
readable, but we can't really detect if it's using a macro that has
changed so much that the .elc file should be rebuilt...
