How this wiki stays current
Official notes are checked for source changes and mapped to affected guides. Editorial review handles changed mechanics and any source the watcher cannot read reliably. A changed page is evidence to investigate, not an instruction to publish its claims automatically.
The public coverage page lists the next work: complete item and creature data, current combat encounters, world-specific route evidence and a full Chapter 1 walkthrough when its release is verified.
