## Problem
I’m a solo developer and my project is currently blocked from deploying with the following error message:

> **Error: Hobby teams do not support collaboration.**

I don’t have any collaborators on my team — I’m the sole owner and developer. It appears my account was set up as a Hobby Team rather than a Personal account during initial setup, and I’m now unable to deploy updates to my live production site.

## Details
- **Project name:** `croptera-trade` 
- **Production domain:** `trade.croptera.com.au` 
- **GitHub repo:** `glynnt1974-ship-it/croptera-trade` 
- **Team status:** I am the only member on this team (no collaborators)

## What I’ve Tried
- **Transferring the project:** Attempted to move to a personal account, but no personal account appears in the dropdown, only teams.
- **Deleting the Hobby team:** The delete button is disabled/greyed out (cursor shows blocked icon).
- **Creating a support case:** The case form sidebar opens but won’t scroll or display a submit button.

I need help either unblocking my deployments or safely moving my project to a personal Hobby scope without losing my domain connection.

Thank you for any assistance!
