1. 1We are planning a migration from Selenium to Cypress across multiple teams, but we still need to support legacy browsers like Safari 10. How would you architect the migration while handling Cypress's browser support gaps?
2. 2At an organization‑wide level, how would you set policies for browser coverage in Cypress tests to balance test reliability, maintenance cost, and coverage of user‑facing browsers?
