Announcing Appwrite 1.9.6 for self-hosted deployments

Appwrite 1.9.6 is a maintenance release for self-hosted deployments that addresses upgrade and migration failures introduced in 1.9.5. Key fixes include automatic repair of missing providerBranches and providerPaths attributes on Functions and Sites, idempotent migrations that safely handle re-runs after partial failures, and improved healthcheck logic that waits for a writable MongoDB replica-set primary before marking the service healthy. The installer now allows more time for image pulls and Compose startup to prevent timeouts on slower connections. Bundled services are also updated: Console 8.7.30, Open Runtimes Executor 0.25.4, and Browser service 0.3.3. Upgrade is done via a Docker run command followed by a migrate step.
