====== v6.7.25: Catalog validation and collector reads ======

All four workers reached v6.7.25 before the v6.7.26 update. See [[updates:v6_7_26|the latest dated rollout]] and [[status:start|Live lobbies]] for current versions.

===== Mania conversion validation =====
The worker now declares its release-pinned Mania conversion-validation catalog before installing the storage guard, and retains that path through configuration reloads. This fixes reads of the validation sidecar. Keys, recalculated/source difficulty, catalog revision, style and share checks remain mandatory; ineligible charts remain excluded.

===== Operational collectors =====
The health, reporting and wiki collectors can again use the existing read-only SQLite helper as the database owner inside their service sandbox. Database permissions remain intact, and reads avoid creating root-owned WAL sidecars. The operational changes take effect on collector runs without restarting the bot.

===== Validation and deployment =====
All **796 offline regression tests passed**, together with read-only four-room catalog startup checks. Compatible worker updates use the normal empty-room gate. No mutable player database or runtime catalog was replaced.
