## Open now

- 1 issue, 1 PR open on GitHub.
- #119658: migrate_config stamps _config_version to latest even when a migration step failed and was skipped, so the skipped step never re-runs
- PR #119662: fix(config): retry skipped config migrations

These items address a bug where migration steps that encountered errors or were skipped are incorrectly stamped as complete, preventing them from being retried on subsequent runs. The fix ensures only contiguous successful migrations are recorded.
