Will the migration documentation or API provide a shared source of truth for affected denoms and chains, migration readiness, recommended asset names, and any eventual deprecation dates?

Guidance for pending IBC transfers and small balances left on the legacy representation would also help wallets and frontends present consistent warnings rather than leaving users to determine the correct route themselves.
