An enum migration looked mechanical. A package-backed value object became a native PHP backed enum. The domain concept stayed the same, the new cases were easy to search, and current code wrote the canonical values. It was exactly the kind of refactor that looks finished after a clean source search.

Then an older row loaded a lowercase value. The native enum expected the same word with different casing and rejected it during hydration.
