Installer Version Changes Can Now Be Previewed

Phase 1 now shows upgrade, downgrade, and reinstall file changes before the selected version is applied.

Review upgrades and downgrades before applying them

The Phase 1 Installer now provides a file-change preview before a version is installed. Staff can review the detected direction, target phase, number of files to write, and every obsolete managed file scheduled for removal during a downgrade.

What changed

Added a Preview File Changes action to the Version Library.
Shows whether the selected package is an upgrade, downgrade, or reinstall.
Lists files scheduled for deletion before confirmation.
Detects the managed file list from the matching installed phase package when an older installation has no version-state record.
Continues protecting database credentials, owner records, uploads, logs, cache, installer state, and version packages.

Why this matters

Version changes are now transparent before execution. This reduces accidental downgrades and ensures obsolete files can be reviewed before the Installer creates a rollback snapshot and reconciles the project filesystem.
