Description

It currently isn't unless the migrations are specified.

One way of doing this would be to have a `legacy: number` value that indicates the version the server was started with, so nodes can be restarted at the same version.

Research direction

Start by reading the server's migration handling and the Many Protocol specification to determine why a HEAD server requires explicit migrations. Investigate how the server records its starting version and how nodes are restarted at that version. Done means a clear compatibility design is agreed for default startup and legacy-version handling.
