Plan and execute the full deprecation lifecycle for a design system component, token, or pattern — including timeline, migration paths, communication plan, and multi-phase removal. Trigger when someone says: deprecate a component, remove a component, sunset this pattern, phase out these tokens, retire this variant, replace this with, or anything involving removing or replacing something from the design system. Do NOT trigger for communicating non-deprecation changes like new releases or feature updates — use change-communication for those.
