File: elemental-cl3/latest/upgradeguide/downgrades-cl3-upg-dg-cond.md

Summary

Added explicit steps to run prepare_for_downgrade.sh script and adjusted step numbering in downgrade procedures

Security assessment

Changes focus on procedural improvements for downgrade operations, adding a preparation script step. No mention of security vulnerabilities, patches, or security features. The script appears to be part of standard downgrade preparation rather than addressing security concerns.
