demoting #54153

[mvtglobally]

@grgia Let us know if you need any additional checks from our side to move this checklist along

[luacmartins]

@mvtglobally we're testing a revert in an attempt to fix the last blocker. We'll ping you once that's ready to be tested on your side too.

[luacmartins]

@mvtglobally We're running 2 more CPs and once they are done could you please run a smoke test (just critical issues) on the build? We just want to make sure we didn't break anything critical with all the CPs

[grgia]

We're waiting on final confirmation from QA for the [smoke test].(https://expensify.slack.com/archives/C9YU7BX5M/p1734474444448929)

I plan to deploy as soon as that's done.
