+- Prefer schema migration over startup reconciliation or runtime compatibility paths in service writes.
 - Do not add legacy read/write compatibility code in service workflows by default.
 - If drift is discovered and a migration decision is ambiguous (for example, one-way destructive DDL, uncertain data retention impact, or unknown deployment sequence), pause and ask the user to choose migration vs compatibility before coding.
 - If a temporary compatibility path is explicitly approved, document an expiration/removal plan in the same change.
