Standard update process

1. Update TypeScript schema definitions.
2. Run cms0 build and verify descriptor generation.
3. Deploy updated app/admin services.
4. Publish descriptor update.
5. Validate resulting API reads and editor screens.

Safety controls

• Take a backup before major schema changes.
• Roll out additive changes first.
• Delay destructive removals until clients are updated.

Recommended rollout strategy

1. Add new fields/resources.
2. Deploy readers that can handle old + new shapes.
3. Backfill data.
4. Remove old fields after verification.

Rollback strategy

• Keep recent backups available.
• Test rollback in staging before high-risk production changes.
• After rollback, verify both editor and read API behavior.
