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. Automated source checks are separate from a substantive guide review.

Question for STS2 players: co-op wording reports ↗A player says their group checked Claw and Cruelty because the card text appeared team-wide, and reports that both effects remain with the player who used them.
