How updates are reviewed
Sources are linked to the guides that depend on them in Kingy’s review pipeline. A source change requests an editorial review; it does not automatically rewrite the guide or advance its edit date. Review official changes daily around launch and after each patch. The repository maintenance record tracks recurring execution separately.
