I’ve just upgraded to 3.5.0.beta9 (`3cac943266`) and am receiving an admin notice:

> **[Admin Notice]** Theme ‘Brand Header Theme Component’ contains code which needs updating. (id:discourse.widgets-end-of-life) ([_learn more_](https://meta.discourse.org/t/375332/1))

As far as I can tell, the component has been updated:

[https://github.com/discourse/discourse-brand-header/commit/f002a9350b9ca1cdb720d9d0b9da1424e2abe6a3](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-brand-header/commit/f002a9350b9ca1cdb720d9d0b9da1424e2abe6a3)

…but the update cannot be installed on 3.5.0.beta9 because the `.discourse-compatibility` file contains this line:

`< 3.5.0.beta9-dev: 6fd676ea4e9cd7305d03df93bd6ce99961e4ff17`

(where `6fd676ea4e9c...` is the commit **before** the fix)

Is 3.5.0.beta9 really not able to use the fixed code?
