How do you migrate a breaking change in a mature design system?
This tests organizational change management at scale, not just code changes. A strong answer covers SemVer major versioning, beta testing with key consumers, phased deprecation timelines, and automated file audits.

A senior answer outlines a SemVer major version bump, identifies key consumers for beta testing migration guides, and defines a phased rollout with hard deprecation deadlines.
