Sentry Sdk Upgrade

Handles Sentry JavaScript SDK major version upgrades (v7 to v8, v8 to v9, etc.) by detecting your current setup, identifying deprecated patterns, and walking you through the migration file by file. It scans for framework type, finds config files, and applies both mechanical fixes (import renames, method swaps) and context-aware migrations (hub removal, performance API changes). The four-phase approach is thorough: detect current state, recommend a migration path with breaking changes categorized by complexity, guide through each change with explanations, then verify the build works. Useful when you've bumped Sentry versions and hit breaking changes, or when you're ready to modernize but dreading the migration docs. Beats manually cross-referencing changelogs across multiple major versions.
