Generally just a bit of stretching - right now will usually consist of something like a piriformis stretch, glute bridge, some calf raises. If the rack is unavailable for awhile I'll spend 10-15 mins on a bike at a very slow pace. I do the warmup sets as well, fwiw.
Anyway, sticking with SL for now, but just squatting once a week and then finding something else to do on the other two workouts. Got through today at 55kg without feeling too much but definitely still sore. My form is OK but I could probably do with pushing my knees out a little more.

Oh also doing Stronglifts, currently on 87.5 for squats. It's tough as each workout I'm doing around 48 squats if you include the warmup. I had a knee niggle which I continued working through, it ended up clearing by itself and I attribute that to getting consistent with squat form.
I don't think you mentioned what you do to warm up? I loop band + leg swings etc to hit the glutes and related, I also grab a 5kg plate for some deep squat active stretching, I think this is key to avoiding injury. Rather than not squatting, I would drop the weight on the app and work on form whilst completing the reps.
