    Check which API the application actually uses before choosing a direction. slug and export_with_ids exist only in the 2.x line, so downgrading is not an option.

    bash command
    grep -n "slug\|export_with_ids" app.py
    output
    3:Uses the reporting plugin for titles and slugs, and the export plugin for normalised

    State why the set moved forward rather than the core moving back.

    summary
    requirements.txt pinned plugina 2.0.0 (needs libcore 2.x) alongside pluginb 1.0.0 and libcore 1.4.0 (both 1.x), which is unsatisfiable. app.py calls plugina.slug and pluginb.export_with_ids, which exist only in the versions built against the 2.x core, so the resolution was to move the whole set forward: plugina 2.0.0, pluginb 3.0.0, libcore 2.1.0. check.sh passes and only requirements.txt changed.

Results that cannot be reproduced are not results. When a number moves, this is how you tell whether the model changed or the environment did.
