Description

We need compatibility tests that verify that the build is compatible on wire level with previous official release (chain new and old versions and ensure data flows correctly).

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing test patterns in the repository, especially around wire protocol or serialization. Look for previous compatibility tests or integration tests. Understand the data flow between different versions. Then write tests that start an old version, send data, then a new version, and verify data consistency.
