v1.2 release and migration readiness

Problem

The v1.2 release of the Cloud Suite will include changes to account and project lifecycle flows that may require data migrations, schema changes, or workflow adjustments for existing users. There is currently no migration plan, no user-facing communication strategy, and no upgrade guidance for teams already using the hosted product. Without release and migration readiness preparation, existing users risk broken workflows, data inconsistencies, or surprise breaking changes with no clear path to adapt.

Context

• Deeper or changed behavior in hosted onboarding, collaboration, and account/project workspace UX often creates migration work for users, operators, or downstream systems, and that work is easy to underestimate until release time.
• This task should make the release path explicit: what is changing, who is affected, what needs communication or tooling help, and how rollback would work if adoption goes sideways.
• Expected touchpoints include apps/cloud/, templates/browser flows, auth/account docs, and cloud tests, release notes, migration docs, compatibility checks, and any support/runbook surfaces that will absorb the change.

Possible Solutions

• A - Treat release readiness as a final checklist after implementation: simple, but it often surfaces migration risk too late to respond well.
• B - Recommended: plan release and migration alongside the feature depth work: document contract changes, compatibility handling, communication, and rollback before the release window.
• C - Force all users onto the new behavior with minimal migration help: faster to ship, but costly in trust and support load.

Plan

1. List the behavior, contract, or configuration changes in hosted onboarding, collaboration, and account/project workspace UX that could affect users, operators, or downstream consumers.
2. Define the migration path, release notes, compatibility expectations, and any temporary bridges or tooling needed for safe adoption.
3. Confirm the rollback and support posture for the riskiest changes and make sure the release owner surfaces are documented.
4. Review the plan against the actual implementation scope and create follow-up items for anything that cannot safely make the release cut.
