## 🎯 Next Session Plan

### Option A: Complete All Phases (Recommended)
Continue with Phases 4-6 to complete the migration.

**Pros:**
- Full consistency
- Get breaking changes out of the way
- Complete the work

**Cons:**
- Requires careful testing
- Breaking changes need communication

### Option B: Test & Deploy Phases 1-3
Deploy current progress before tackling complex providers.

**Pros:**
- Lower risk deployment
- Get feedback early
- Test in production

**Cons:**
- Codebase remains inconsistent
- Need another migration session later

## 📝 Recommendations

1. **Continue with Phase 4 & 6 first** (low-medium risk)
   - Get breaking changes done together
   - Migrate internal providers (quick wins)
   
2. **Test thoroughly** before Phase 5
   - Run full test suite
   - Manual testing on all platforms
   - Check for regressions

3. **Phase 5 in separate PR**
   - Complex providers need careful review
   - High usage means high impact
   - Consider pair programming
