Indesign files made in 2024 (19.5) version not opening in 2025 (20.0)

Indesign 2025 will open files made in the 2023 version but won't open the files I made in 2024 version just a month ago. And don't tell me to install the older version. I have the older version and yes I can use it. But I would prefer to use the newer version moving forward. I have a project that I continually update which took me a long time to make. I am not going to remake the whole thing in InDesign 2025 just because of some stupid bug. Please fix it.

Does any of this involve work done in beta versions?

The new version just came out in October. Why do you need to use it right now? You should wait a few months before doing any real work in it unless there is a feature you absolutely need to use in your work.

I don't have to use the new version right now. And I'm not. But I hope this issue gets fixed so I don't have to use the 2024 version 6 months from now or indefinitely when using this project file.
