Pro funds the Community edition, but the README mentioned it only in a single line under How to Deploy. The new section sits between the demo and the key features: what Pro adds, two buttons, four screenshots from 2.5.0, a Community-versus-Pro table, and what an upgrade involves. Every row of that table was checked against both codebases rather than taken from the comparison matrix on the website, which carries cells that are demonstrably wrong. The dangerous error is denying Community something it has, because the reader has the opposite in front of them in their own instance — so the stopwatch, webhooks, the REST API, custom fields, two-factor and the notification providers are all marked as shared, and only what the code actually gates is marked Pro. Where a claim could not be backed by the source it was left out. The upgrade paragraph names the releases the promote accepts as a snapshot rather than as a standing fact, and points at the guide for the current list. A hard-coded version window in the README of the repository whose version keeps moving is wrong the moment the next minor ships, and nobody would remember it was there. The screenshots are referenced through raw.githubusercontent.com, so they appear once this is pushed, the same way the logo and the demo already do.

Pro upgrades an existing Community installation in place — your database, your volume, your data. It is a real migration rather than a new image: Pro adds a Valkey service and a one-off schema promote. The promote accepts only certain Community releases as a starting point — currently 2.1.x and 2.2.x — and from any other version it stops without changing anything. The upgrade is one-way — there is no downgrade back to Community — so take a backup first, or try it on a copy. The step-by-step guide is in the customer center once you have a key, and lists the releases the promote accepts.
