-## Database Consolidation Blocker
-
-**IMPORTANT**: A database consolidation migration exists on the `feature/consolidate-auth-database` branch that would merge the `openneo_id` database into `openneo_impress`. However, **this migration is blocked** because:
-
-1. **Impress 2020 uses both databases directly** for authentication and user queries
-2. Consolidating now would break Impress 2020's login functionality
-3. The migration can only proceed after Impress 2020 is fully retired
-
-**Options to unblock:**
-- **Preferred**: Complete Impress 2020 retirement first (Priority 1-3 migrations above)
-- **Alternative**: Coordinate simultaneous deployment of both services during maintenance window
