Description

We do a stage rollout, but if admins want to have nevertheless a direct upgrade, it should be possible.

  • inform about staged rollout, so that admins know why they do not see latest version
  • have an "override button", which is manual, so that concept of stage rollout is still working

Research direction

Start by tracing how the updater handles staged rollouts and how it presents available versions to administrators. Define the admin-facing notice and manual override flow, then verify that overriding permits a direct upgrade without disabling staged rollouts for other users.
