Updates
This log is only for changes we have checked. A new official archive URL is a change. A sentence we had to retract is a change. A rumor about a feature is not a change until the official page says it.
2026-10-25
- Guide published. Rules, scoring, categories, streaks, the app correction, and the unlimited correction.
- The official sitemap lists archive issues 1–7. /archive/7 returns 200 for the finished 24 October puzzle. At this dated check Plain #8 is the live day. No answers for #8 are published here.
- Review corrections: limited recaps to a category overview and three notes; fixed score ranges, historical-score caveats, Web App wording and alternative-game mechanics. A saved Reject now blocks all tracking loaders before they request anything.
- Home and how-to-play response headers: X-Frame-Options DENY and frame-ancestors 'none'. The home page uses original art instead of a frame.
- Issue numbers follow the calendar from #1 = 18 October 2026 (New York). If a day is skipped, the sitemap overrides the formula and this log will say so.

The scheduled job, npm run update:archive, reads only the official sitemap and writes new issue URLs into src/data/incoming/. It does not scrape answers, fetch archive pages or request /api/. An editor must open the source and write limited original commentary before adding a recap. A rebuild is required to update this static site; the visible issue status is labeled as a dated snapshot.
