Summary

  • Records the completed release-validation pass in docs/Compatibility.md: the packed NuGet artifact (not a ProjectReference) was verified in a separate minimal host at both the minimum (30.11.0) and latest (31.8.4) Xperience versions — admin UI, all three export formats with real row-content checks, and form cloning all confirmed at both boundaries. Also documents the minimal-host gaps found along the way (AddAuthentication, UseStaticFiles/UseCookiePolicy, MapRoutes) and why DancingGoat itself can't serve as the minimum-version test bed (its bundled commerce samples require a newer Xperience version, unrelated to this toolkit).
  • Flips the Export and Removal specs' status lines from "prerelease validation in progress" to "implemented and validated" now that the above is genuinely complete.
  • Removes references to the never-built "proposed Retention" feature that had leaked into several sections of the removal spec (shared deletion engine, security, performance, test strategy, acceptance criteria) as if a sibling specification existed. Replaces the scattered mentions with a single "Out of scope" entry noting retention was considered and deferred, and drops the dangling reference to a form-submission-retention.md file that was never created.
  • Updates Release-Process.md's stale "next planned release" pointer from the already-shipped beta.4 to beta.5.

Test plan

  • Docs-only change; no code affected.
  • Verified the referenced validation (packed artifact at 30.11.0 and 31.8.4, admin UI, CSV/Excel/XML exports, form cloning) directly before writing this summary.

Records the completed release-validation pass in Compatibility.md: the
packed NuGet artifact (not a ProjectReference) was verified in a separate
minimal host at both the minimum (30.11.0) and latest (31.8.4) Xperience
versions, covering the admin UI, all three export formats with real
row-content checks, and form cloning. Also notes the minimal-host gaps
found along the way (AddAuthentication, UseStaticFiles/UseCookiePolicy,
MapRoutes) and why DancingGoat itself can't be used for minimum-version
testing (its bundled commerce samples require a newer Xperience version).

Flips the Export and Removal specs' status lines from "prerelease
validation in progress" to "implemented and validated" now that the above
is genuinely complete, and points them at the new validation history
instead of a generic checklist reference.

Removes references to the never-built "proposed Retention" feature from
the removal spec, which had leaked into several sections (shared deletion
engine, security, performance, test strategy, acceptance criteria) as if
a sibling specification existed. Replaces the scattered mentions with a
single, explicit "Out of scope" entry noting retention was considered and
deferred, and drops the dangling reference to a form-submission-retention.md
file that was never created.

Updates Release-Process.md's stale "next planned release" pointer from the
already-shipped beta.4 to beta.5.
