November 2025 monthly summary for ibexa/core: Focus was stability and compatibility risk mitigation around Symfony Validator 7.4. Implemented a temporary workaround to disable the Symfony Validator constraint in composer.json to prevent build-breaks, with explicit plan to re-enable when upstream compatibility is restored. This preserved production reliability and allowed continued delivery of core work.
