The phase table had B4 as "next" and B5 as "after B4" while both had shipped,
and described B6 as blocked on B4's gate — which is now merged and released. A
plan that misreports which phase it is in is worse than no plan: the next
person reads it and repeats finished work.
Corrected, and three things that were only ever decided in conversation are now
written down:
* **B6 is deliberately held.** 3.2.0 published 2026-08-03; 3.1.0 ran nine
months before it. B6's premise is that cores without the module are gone,
and there is no release-asset count or install telemetry to show that.
Running it now strands users on their current plugin versions. The gate
that makes it safe is already built and tested — it is the calendar that is
missing, and no amount of further code changes that.
* **Stop adopting further shared modules** (data_sources, game_renderer,
base_odds_manager) until B6 closes. Each adoption adds a copy to keep in
step against a payoff contingent on B6.
* **A B5 retrospective**, because "the adoption went fine" is not what
happened: four of eight shipped with scroll mode broken on a 3.2.0 core.
The bundled fallback did not protect against it — the break was on the
modern path — which is an argument for the sunset, not against it. Records
the ledger too: net negative on disk until B6 runs.
Also replaces the "what's next" list, whose first five items were all done,
with what actually remains.

The 3.2.0 section described the unified sports library but none of the
install-path work that landed in #428 and #431 -- which matters more than a
normal changelog omission, because the sunset rule keys on this section to
tell plugin authors what a given floor buys them.
The headline addition: 3.2.0 is the first release that *enforces*
ledmatrix_min_version. Before it the floor was advisory, so a plugin could
declare one and still be delivered to a core that could not run it. That is
the property B6 waits on, and it is now stated where a plugin author will
look for it -- along with the caveat that a core reporting below 2.0.0 is
treated as unknown rather than old and is never blocked.
Also records compatibility.py (and that it does not yet read
compatible_versions), check_release_version.py and its workflow, the
install-preservation fix, the reentrant-lock deadlock fix, and the
web_interface version re-export.
No version bump: 3.2.0 is unreleased, so this describes the release being
cut rather than a new one.
