Architectural Context & Staging Protocol
When evaluating new software releases for Ghost, web engineers and site administrators must assess backward compatibility, database migration overhead, and third-party extension interactions. Production deployment should always follow an isolated staging verification workflow to monitor server response times, DOM node complexity, and Core Web Vitals (including INP and LCP metrics).
