Upgrade on a separate branch, back up production data, compare .env.example, and run the full test suite. Version 0.2.0 requires Node.js 22.5.0 or newer, uses the artisan CLI entry point, and includes mysql2 for MySQL support. Never run migrate:fresh against production data.
Examples
node --version
node artisan --version
node artisan route:list
