Fatal Error from backwards incompatible missing minimum WordPress version (6.5)

The most recent version of the plugin is missing a minimum WordPress core version requirement (6.5) that causes a fatal error on sites that need to run on an older core version.

The wp_enqueue_script_module() core function used in functions/backendpreparer.php was added only in 6.5:

[21-Oct-2024 11:52:22 UTC] PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function crop_thumbnails\wp_enqueue_script_module() in /home/site-name/public_html/wp-content/plugins/crop-thumbnails/functions/backendpreparer.php:96
Stack trace:

... site-specific trace.

The plugin should either add the missing minimum version requirement to the plugin meta in crop-thumbnails.php, or add a shim to ensure that backwards compatibility isn’t broken.
