Lowest supported "strict_min_version" is 58.0

Describe the problem and steps to reproduce it:

I'm uploading a new version of my add-on through the website. I'm using almost the same manifest I've used before, including this line:

"strict_min_version" : "55.0"

I've run web-ext lint beforehand:

Validation Summary:

errors          0
notices         0
warnings        3
...

What happened?

I'm getting this error message, and I cannot update the add-on:

Screenshot_20241011_113858

I checked the full validation report, but it's not mentioning this issue:

Screenshot_20241011_115739

What did you expect to happen?

Either the add-on is just updated, or the reports, and probably the web-ext lint outputs, are consistent.

Anything else we should know?

I haven't seen any announcement of this new requirement on the Add-ons Community Blog so I don't know if it's a bug or not. I'd like to keep backwards compatibility as much as possible.

The validation report is essentially the HTML version of the addons-linter (text) output. AMO runs the linter as part of the submission but it does other checks too, like this one about the strict_min_version. That kind of check depends on AMO so we cannot really backport it in the linter unfortunately.
