Downgrading to 5.14.2 did restore my "display cover" functionality.
Thank you for the detailed report.

I'm not familiar with the built in KUAL update prevention, but maybe it depends on the blocker directory, which doesn't work for several recent major versions.

There is an optional update blocker extension that works by renaming the OTA update progam files. That should still work.
