Pull request overview
This PR updates the PHP upgrade instructions to reflect a new self-service process for upgrading PHP versions in Altis Cloud environments. Instead of requiring users to create support tickets, the documentation now guides users through using the Altis Dashboard to update PHP versions directly.
Changes:
- Replaced the "Requesting A Cloud Environment Update" section with "Upgrading the Altis Cloud Environment"
- Updated instructions from support ticket-based workflow to self-service Dashboard workflow
- Added post-upgrade recommendations checklist
💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.

| Once you are confident that your application is compatible with the version of PHP to upgrade to you should do the | ||
| following for each environment: | ||
| When you're happy your custom application code, themes, plugins, and dependencies are fully compatible with the target PHP version, *it is recommended to test the upgrade in a non-production environment first.* | ||

| 1. Create a support ticket for the target environment with the type "Task", titled "Upgrade to PHP 8.3", replacing "8.3" | ||
| with the target version if necessary ( noting that the updated PHP version will not be deployed automatically until | ||
| the next application deployment ). | ||
| 2. Wait for the Altis team to confirm the environment has been updated. | ||
| 3. Deploy the updated application code. | ||

This section changes the process from “requesting” a PHP upgrade (support ticket / Altis team action) to a self-serve Dashboard setting, but other docs still describe PHP upgrades as an infrastructure change performed by support (e.g. other-docs/guides/getting-help-with-altis/README.md:55-57). Please reconcile the documentation (update the other guide and/or add a note here about when a support request is still required) so readers don’t get conflicting instructions.

For consistency with the rest of the docs, consider formatting the Dashboard URL as a Markdown link (or autolink) instead of a bare URL on its own line (e.g. [Altis Dashboard](https://dashboard.altis-dxp.com/) is used elsewhere). This also avoids any renderer-specific issues where plain URLs might not be linkified.
