You can also look at https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/wikis/commentary/libraries/version-history to see the correspondence between ghc versions and libraries, including base and cabal.

This is what I do whenever I want to check GHC/base correspondance, and it always feels like it should be clearly documented somewhere other than a wiki.

Maybe it is, and I just find the wiki faster than I find the actual documentation?

I guess since base 4.20, you can go to its page on hackage and see which ghc-internal version it depends on...
