Base pushes Beryl upgrade by one day as B20 registry requires additional setup, while new hard fork cuts Ethereum withdrawal delays from 7 days to 5

Block 47,806,542 is the ugly backdrop: Base just had an invalid-block stall that left some ecosystem nodes needing restarts, then had to coordinate a fork that adds native token precompiles and changes exit economics. B20 has hard activation plumbing, with the factory at 0xB20f000000000000000000000000000000000000 and the Activation Registry at 0x8453000000000000000000000000000000000001, so a sloppy registry flip would be a bad place to discover issuer or policy wiring is incomplete. The 7d to 5d withdrawal cut is useful for fast-bridge LP inventory turnover, but the higher bar is Base proving it can ship appchain-style primitives without every upgrade reminding users there is still one very visible operator in the loop.
