Storybook must end up at version 10.6 or later. (While 10.6 is unreleased, `next` satisfies this — 10.6.0-alpha.x. Any canary build, `0.0.0-pr-*`, also qualifies.)

Read https://storybook.js.org/docs/releases/upgrading.md in its **entirety** to get the latest Storybook upgrade instructions.

If the latest stable release is still below 10.6, upgrade to the prerelease instead with `npx storybook@next upgrade`.
