The useful migration trick is to stop thinking in “one date type” terms.

Another useful migration angle is to map each Moment call by intent first, because a quick debugging signal is when a value starts drifting by a day or an hour - that usually means a timestamp was really a calendar date or a zoned event.

Start with the bugs, not the API, because a drifting birthday should become PlainDate while a flight departure belongs in ZonedDateTime.
