Chromium 85-era build workflows can generate Ninja files with the GN version expected by projects from that period. It is useful for maintaining applications that have not moved to newer framework dependency declarations.
Use it for compatibility with older source trees, not as the default choice for new projects. Version mismatches can cause confusing build errors.
