" summary

Layout Builder ships stable in Drupal 8.7 and 8.8 arrives as a second stable release; team lands 12 bug fixes and one feature (custom section labels) while most work moves to contrib. Contributed tools include layout_builder_everywhere (visual regions beyond main content), a UX module to show field names, Styles and Restrictions modules to limit choices, and two translation contribs (layout builder symmetric translations and asymmetric). Core still lacks visibility conditions, section reordering and nested sections; JSON API access for layouts remains disabled.
