The React admin's build/admin.asset.php depends on react-jsx-runtime, which WordPress registers from 6.6 on. The readme still said Requires at least: 5.5, so sites on 5.5–6.5 would get blank FakerPress admin pages after updating.

  • Requires at least: 6.6 in the plugin header and in readme.txt, plus the readme note.
  • With the header set, core refuses to activate the plugin (validate_plugin_requirements()) or install the update (Plugin_Upgrader::check_package()) on older WordPress, instead of loading a broken admin.

Changelog line included.

Checked: PHPCS, WPUnit (108), and the JS job all pass locally on the release tip.
