Starting this one in light of the Short Treks starting this week, which are part of the second season production. SPOILERS for the 2018 Short Treks episodes through the end of the second season lie within.
"Runway" is up first! The trailer places it somewhere after the S1 finale (or in an interstitial moment while Discovery is heading from Earth to Vulcan), as Tilly is wearing a non-cadet insignia. The mess hall set further seems unchanged as the various fallen ships from TBOTBS are still displayed on the wall - with the war over, perhaps it's time to change them..?
I'll be looking for other production changes from the first season as well, beyond what's already been noted in the earlier S2 trailer. Who knows though if we can write all of them off as changes made while Discovery hung over Earth for however long the postwar denouement took in the S1 finale, if it's equipment Pike and co. brought aboard, or if we have to make up a Voyager-esque reason for why stuff like phasers and tricorders suddenly changed despite being 70,000 light years from resupply.
