What's going wrong
Site owners upgrading this session plugin see a notice that their session table lacks a primary key and must run a WP-CLI command in a terminal. Designers and small-business owners who do not use a shell get stuck, cannot find table paths, or are told by hosts to delete data. Others run the add-index step, see their CSS break, then wonder whether finalize or revert is safe on live servers and whether data is affected. Each report describes a migration that is hard to verify and easy to get wrong. A guided, verified migration service would help.
