Liveblocks SDK changes can break your collaborative features for every active user

Real-time collaboration features are high-visibility — when they break, every user in a shared session sees it immediately. Liveblocks SDK updates can change presence handling, modify storage conflict resolution, and alter room connection behavior. These changes need proactive handling.

Liveblocks changed how presence data is broadcasted and our collaborative cursor feature started lagging. Users thought the app was broken. Turned out the SDK update changed the default broadcast frequency.
