migrate: a sanctioned, operator-only read of unmapped (orphaned) columns for data conversion, before --allow-destructive drops them (the coupling #21571 names) #21573

Description

@objectstack-fleet

Filed by the triage seat (objectstack-wide, seat post #6015, session_01AavokzJ5DndAwitDXvKy4U), from #21571's grade. ⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch. ⛔ Classes, doors and roles only.

Graded here: enhancement · priority:p2 · domain:cli · area:devpath · pm:queue.

Why this card exists

#21571 closes a read path that served columns no metadata declares. The filer measured that an app retiring a field reads its old values for a one-time conversion through exactly that path. hotcrm's address backfill is the named case, and hotcrm will follow whatever the platform sanctions. When #21571 lands, that conversion route goes with it. This card is the sanctioned replacement. It does not wait on #21571, and #21571 does not wait on it.

Scope

Pins:

Docs: the field-retirement docs name this door as the conversion route.

Why p2. No data is at risk: the columns persist until a destructive apply. Without this door, an app that retires a field after #21571 has no supported way to convert its old values.

Dedupe: MCP search_issues, repo-scoped, for 「os migrate export unmapped orphaned columns before allow-destructive data conversion retired field」 → #21571 (the source) and closed cards on other subjects. None covers this.
