6. Deployment steps (recommended)

Apply hotfix first to the test environment.
Verify editor opens, projects load, and compile/build succeeds.
Deploy runtime to test HMI; validate normal operations and specific previously failing scenarios.
Run regression tests: project download/upload, PLC communications, alarm handling, scripts, and visual displays.
If tests pass, schedule production deployment:
- Stop HMI runtime, apply hotfix, restart runtime.
- Re-validate connectivity and runtime behavior.
Monitor for at least one full production cycle before considering the fix stable.
