Value Statement

As a Global Hub installer,
I want to perform migration validation without requiring a database connection,
So that I can run validations even before the database is set up.

Definition of Done for Engineering Story Owner (Checklist)

• Migration validation logic is decoupled from any PostgreSQL or external DB dependency.

• A new migration mode flag is introduced during Global Hub installation to indicate the non-DB flow.

• When in migration mode, the installer should skip DB-related validation checks and rely only on in-memory or YAML-based configuration.

• Proper error handling must be added if DB validation is accidentally triggered in migration mode.

• Document the usage of the migration mode in the operator documentation.
