reason: Database schema changes and long-running migration run automatically on startup for single-instance Docker deployments. The warnings about simultaneous updates only apply to multi-worker or load-balanced setups, which this is not.

> [!CAUTION]
> Database Migrations: This release includes database schema changes; we strongly recommend backing up your database and all associated data before upgrading in production environments. If you are running a multi-worker, multi-server, or load-balanced deployment, all instances must be updated simultaneously, rolling updates are not supported and will cause application failures due to schema incompatibility.

> [!WARNING]
> Long-Running Database Migration: This release includes a migration for the `chat_message` table that can take a significant amount of time to complete, especially in larger deployments with extensive chat histories. Please plan for adequate downtime and allow the migration to finish completely without interruption.
