-   - **Primary colour:** `meta[name="theme-color"]`, CSS `--primary` / `--brand` variables, or dominant accent from linked stylesheets / inline styles (convert to `#RRGGBB`).

-   - **Text colour:** main body text colour (default `#0A0908` if light site).
-   - **Secondary colour:** muted border / secondary button colour, or a tint of the primary.
-   - **Font:** first `font-family` on `body` (strip quotes; default `Inter` if generic system stack).
-   - **Logo:** prefer `og:image`, then `link[rel="icon"]` / apple-touch-icon, then header `<img>` logo. Download into `./assets/logo.png` or `./assets/logo.svg` and set `logoPath` accordingly. If only favicon exists, use it and note size in the summary.

+# Vercel Upgrade Protocol for TomorrowOS CMS
+
+> **This file is a contract for Vercel Agent / v0 / AI coding assistants.**  
+> Follow it literally. This protocol **upgrades an existing CMS** to the latest `@tomorrowos/sdk`.  
+> It is **not** a greenfield setup. Do **not** use `VERCEL_SETUP.md` / `VERCEL_QUESTIONS.md` for this flow unless the user explicitly asks for a full re-setup.
+
+---
+
+## User trigger (copy-paste)
+
+When a human pastes a prompt like this, **read this file and execute the upgrade steps immediately** (no questionnaire):
+
+```text
+Follow NPM package @tomorrowos/sdk VERCEL_UPGRADE.md to upgrade my CMS with the latest SDK.
+Do not run init or init --force. Do not delete data/ or cms-panel uploads / media state.
+Compare cms-starter-v0 template files and merge carefully — do not blindly overwrite custom changes.
+Keep the NON-NEGOTIABLE VERCEL RUNTIME CONTRACT (one TomorrowOS instance, Fluid Function, no public/ Output Directory).
+```
+
+Alternate triggers that also activate this protocol:
+
+- “Upgrade TomorrowOS on Vercel using VERCEL_UPGRADE.md”
+- “Update my Vercel CMS to the latest @tomorrowos/sdk”
+- “Follow VERCEL_UPGRADE.md”
+
+When any of these triggers fire:
+
+1. **Ignore `VERCEL_SETUP.md` / `VERCEL_QUESTIONS.md` questionnaires** — this is an upgrade, not setup Q&A.
+2. **Do not** reinvent pairing, WebSocket, or playlist servers.
+3. Preserve project data, Env Vars, and custom UI/server wiring.
+4. Preserve the **NON-NEGOTIABLE VERCEL RUNTIME CONTRACT** from `VERCEL_SETUP.md`.
+
+---
+
+## Hard rules (non-negotiable)
+
+1. **Do NOT** run `npx @tomorrowos/sdk init`, `npx @tomorrowos/sdk@latest init`, or any `init --force` (or any command that re-scaffolds / overwrites the project from the starter). Upgrade = **`npm install @tomorrowos/sdk@latest` only**.
+2. **Do NOT** delete `data/`, media uploads, or wipe Postgres / Supabase / Neon data.
+3. **Do NOT** invent or rotate Environment Variables (`SUPABASE_URL`, `DATABASE_URL`, Cloudinary keys, `BLOB_READ_WRITE_TOKEN`, etc.). Keep existing Vercel Env Vars / `.env`.
+4. **Do NOT** blindly overwrite `cms-panel/methods.js`, `cms-panel/index.html`, `cms-panel/panel.css`, `server.ts`, `cms-app.ts`, or `api/index.ts` with template copies. Always **diff → report → merge only with user consent** (or apply surgical patches that preserve custom code).
+5. **Do NOT** create a second `new TomorrowOS(...)` in `api/ws.ts` or elsewhere. **One** shared instance only.
+6. **Do NOT** set Vercel Output Directory to `public/` or switch Production to Next/`next start` / static-only.
+7. Prefer **`npm install @tomorrowos/sdk@latest`** over pinning an older version unless the user named a specific version.
+8. Keep `tsx` available at runtime (`dependencies`, not only `devDependencies`) if local `npm run start` / Preview still relies on `tsx server.ts`.
+9. After upgrade, re-check Production gates: `GET /status` → JSON, `GET /` → Control Panel, WebSocket `/` or `/api` → **101**.
+
+---
+
+## Preflight (record before changing anything)
+
+Capture and remember:
+
+| Item | How |
+|------|-----|
+| **Old SDK version** | `package.json` → `dependencies["@tomorrowos/sdk"]`, and/or `npm ls @tomorrowos/sdk --depth=0` |
+| **Layout** | Confirm `cms-starter-v0` shape: `cms-app.ts` / `api/index.ts` / `cms-panel/` (or equivalent shared TomorrowOS export) |
+| **Runtime** | Confirm Fluid Function + `vercel.json` rewrites; Output Directory empty |
+
+If `@tomorrowos/sdk` is not a dependency, stop and tell the user this project does not look like a TomorrowOS CMS — offer `VERCEL_SETUP.md` instead. Do **not** run `init` unless they explicitly switch to setup.
+
+---
+
+## Upgrade steps (exact order)
+
+### 1. Note current deploy state
+
+Record the Production URL and whether Preview uses the `preview/` Next shell. Do not change Framework / Fluid settings unless they already violate the runtime contract.
+
+### 2. Backup merge candidates (required)
+
+Before any UI/server merge, copy the current files to a timestamped backup folder under the project (e.g. `.tomorrowos-upgrade-backup/<ISO-timestamp>/`):
+
+- `cms-panel/methods.js` (or `public/methods.js` if that is the panel path)
+- `cms-panel/index.html`
+- `cms-panel/panel.css`
+- `server.ts`
+- `cms-app.ts` (if present)
+- `api/index.ts` (if present)
+- `vercel.json` (if present)
+
+Also back up `package.json` (version pin record).
+
+**Do not** put backups inside user media folders.  
+Record the **backup path** for the final report.
+
+### 3. Install latest SDK
+
+**REQUIRED — always `@latest`:**
+
+```bash
+npm install @tomorrowos/sdk@latest
+```
+
+Do **not** run `npm install @tomorrowos/sdk` without `@latest` (may keep a stale lockfile / range).
+
+### 4. Verify `package.json` dependency
+
+Confirm `dependencies["@tomorrowos/sdk"]` reflects a newer / latest range (or exact version after install).
+
+- If `package.json` did not update, set `"@tomorrowos/sdk": "^<installed version>"` and run:
+
+```bash
+npm install @tomorrowos/sdk@latest
+```
+
+- Confirm `node_modules/@tomorrowos/sdk/package.json` `"version"` is the **current npm latest**.
+
+```bash
+node -p "require('./node_modules/@tomorrowos/sdk/package.json').version"
+npm view @tomorrowos/sdk version
+```
+
+If local version < npm latest, re-run Step 3 until they match.
+
+Record **new SDK version** for the final report.
+
+### 5. Template compare (merge — never blind overwrite)
+
+Compare the project files with the **installed** Vercel starter template:
+
+**Template root:**
+
+`node_modules/@tomorrowos/sdk/templates/cms-starter-v0/`
+
+**Always compare at least:**
+
+| Project file | Template file |
+|--------------|---------------|
+| `cms-panel/methods.js` | `templates/cms-starter-v0/cms-panel/methods.js` |
+| `cms-panel/index.html` | `templates/cms-starter-v0/cms-panel/index.html` |
+| `cms-panel/panel.css` | `templates/cms-starter-v0/cms-panel/panel.css` |
+| `server.ts` | `templates/cms-starter-v0/server.ts` |
+| `cms-app.ts` | `templates/cms-starter-v0/cms-app.ts` |
+| `api/index.ts` | `templates/cms-starter-v0/api/index.ts` |
+| `vercel.json` | `templates/cms-starter-v0/vercel.json` |
+
+If the project still uses `public/` for the panel (older layout), compare against `templates/cms-starter/public/*` **or** migrate carefully toward `cms-panel/` without breaking Production Output Directory rules.
+
+**Agent behaviour for diffs:**
+
+1. Summarise meaningful differences (new status UI, upload routes, Download Players, Fluid/`vercel.json` tweaks, etc.).
+2. Classify each file:
+
+   | Classification | Meaning |
+   |----------------|---------|
+   | **No merge needed** | Project already has the feature / only whitespace differs |
+   | **Safe additive merge** | Template adds new sections the project lacks without conflicting customs |
+   | **Needs human decision** | Both sides edited the same regions — do **not** overwrite; propose a patch or ask |
+
+3. **Default:** report the recommendation and wait for confirmation before applying merges that touch customised regions.  
+   If the user already said “upgrade and apply safe merges”, apply **only additive / non-conflicting** changes, and list anything skipped.
+4. When merging `server.ts` / `cms-app.ts`: preserve existing Env wiring (`SUPABASE_URL` / `DATABASE_URL`, Cloudinary, Blob, `createTomorrowOSStore`, `staticRoot`, `host` / Fluid export). Prefer bringing in new SDK usage patterns without dropping production config.
+5. When merging panel files: preserve custom branding, copy, and business-specific UI the starter does not know about.
+6. **Never** introduce a second TomorrowOS instance or set Output Directory to `public/`.
+
+**Forbidden:** `cp -r node_modules/@tomorrowos/sdk/templates/cms-starter-v0/* .` or wholesale replace of `cms-panel/` / `api/` / `server.ts`.
+
+### 6. Redeploy / restart
+
+1. Local Preview (if used): restart `npm run start` / `npm run dev:preview` as appropriate.
+2. Production: trigger a Vercel **redeploy** so the new dependency and merged files ship.
+3. Confirm Fluid Function is still the Production runtime.
+
+### 7. Smoke check (minimal)
+
+After Production is up:
+
+1. `GET /` → Control Panel HTML.
+2. `GET /status` → TomorrowOS JSON (not HTML).
+3. Playlists / devices still load in the panel.
+4. WebSocket upgrade on `/` or `/api` returns **101** when tested (or note if not verified).
+
+**Do not** run long DB/media/WebSocket test suites unless the user asks.
+
+---
+
+## Final report (required)
+
+Tell the user clearly:
+
+1. **SDK version:** `old → new`
+2. **Backup path:** where the pre-merge copies live
+3. **Template merge:** which files were compared; what was merged / skipped / needs their decision
+4. **Data / Env preserved:** confirm media DB and Env Vars were not wiped
+5. **Runtime contract:** still one TomorrowOS instance; Fluid Function; Output Directory not `public/`
+6. **Smoke:** `/`, `/status`, playlists/devices (yes / no / could not verify + why)
+7. **Next step:** use Production URL for pairing; Preview is optional
+
+---
+
+## What not to do
+
+- ❌ `npx @tomorrowos/sdk init` / `npx @tomorrowos/sdk@latest init` / `init --force`
+- ❌ Blind overwrite of customised panel / `cms-app.ts` / `api/index.ts`
+- ❌ Re-run full `VERCEL_SETUP.md` / `VERCEL_QUESTIONS.md` questionnaire during upgrade
+- ❌ Second `new TomorrowOS` in `api/ws.ts`
+- ❌ Production = Next / static `public/` / unset Fluid
+- ❌ Commit real secrets into git
+
+---
+
+## Failure recovery (upgrade-specific)
+
+| Symptom | Likely cause | Fix |
+|---------|--------------|-----|
+| Panel looks old after `npm install` | Dependency updated but UI not merged | Diff template `cms-panel/*` → merge carefully from backup/template |
+| `Cannot find module '@tomorrowos/sdk'` | Install failed / wrong cwd | Re-run `npm install @tomorrowos/sdk@latest` at project root |
+| `/status` returns HTML | Not hitting Fluid Function | Fix `vercel.json` rewrites + Framework = Other; redeploy |
+| Playlists/devices empty | Wrong Env / DB wipe | Restore Env Vars; confirm `TOMORROWOS_STORE` + pooler URL unchanged |
+| WS fails after upgrade | Second TomorrowOS isolate or Fluid off | One shared export; enable Fluid; verify 101 |
+
+---
+
+## Protocol version
+
+`vercel-upgrade/1.0` — pairs with `@tomorrowos/sdk` packages that ship `templates/cms-starter-v0` and this file.
+
+**Changelog 1.0:** Initial Vercel upgrade-only Agent contract: install `@latest`, backup, template diff/merge against `cms-starter-v0` (no init, no data wipe), keep Fluid runtime contract, redeploy, report versions + smoke.
