Congratulations on the new Debian 13.4 CVM.
Is there going to be a guide on how the offline migration works? In my set up I have a 2 node Proxmox 9.2.20 system. Each CVM have 2 PCIe 2Tb NVMe SSDs in a mdadm Raid array.
I'm not sure when to remove the NVMe SSDs from the old CVM and attach them to the new CVM? I'm not sure when the offline migration starts running the update and what should be attached to the old CVM versus the new CVM? I have checked your technical papers but there doesn't appear to be any update paper.

Any idea when these guides will be published? Or is there one already for bare metal upgrades?

Well, bare-metal is a problem if there is no way connecting a new dist that will serve as an OS disk.
Bare metal will require OS reinstallation and running full sync/data migration.
CVM update is straightforward, I can guide you here if needed :) let me know the hypervisor you use.
