- Ensures migration success before completion
- Comprehensive error reporting

✅ ENHANCED USER EXPERIENCE:
- Improved success messages with clear next steps
- Visual checkmarks showing completed components
- Detailed boot instructions for users
- Better error handling and progress reporting

✅ STREAMLINED WORKFLOW:
