Description

adding a way (maybe in metadata.xml?) for a mod to specify a required minimum repentogon version would solve most issues of users being on an version of repentogon
If repentogon detect it is below the requirements of a mod, it prevents it from being loaded + displays a popup (main menu now that it's possible, or ingame) showing which mods require a newer version (and which newer version)

Research direction

Start by tracing how mod metadata is read, including the suggested metadata.xml, and where mods are loaded. Review the available main-menu or in-game popup path, then define version comparison, blocked-mod behavior, and the user-facing list before verifying the result with a mod requiring a newer Repentogon version.
