Summary

mokosuitebackup.xml declares minimumJoomla="5.0" but the codebase uses Joomla 5.2+ APIs (e.g., SubscriberInterface, named arguments in event constructors). Installing on Joomla 5.0/5.1 would produce fatal errors.

Location

source/packages/com_mokosuitebackup/mokosuitebackup.xml

Fix

Set minimumJoomla to 5.2 (or 6.0 if dropping Joomla 5 support).

Premise is inaccurate as written @ 02.56.05 — keep open but repurpose.

The current com_mokosuitebackup.xml declares no minimumJoomla attribute at all (grep for minimumJoomla across source/packages only hits the unrelated MokoSuiteClient product). So there is no minimumJoomla="5.0" to correct — and no minimum-version guard at all.

Suggest repurposing this issue to: "add minimumJoomla="5.2" (or 6.0) to com_mokosuitebackup.xml" so installs on unsupported Joomla versions are blocked. If a floor isn't wanted, close instead.
