Suitable tasks

Understand an existing system and prepare a controlled migration.

Limits and checks

Do not install the latest version without checking the project version. Moving to the successor does not imply automatic compatibility.

A repeatable trial

On a fictional workflow, retain inputs, tool calls and session state. Replay it in the target environment and compare errors and side effects.

How to decide

Accept migration when expected behaviours and exceptions are documented and reproduced.

Frequently asked questions

Does maintenance mean every deployment stops?

No. The repository distinguishes existing users from new projects; prepare a maintenance or migration decision.
