Release Archive

Release type: Minor · Downtime: None · Migration required: No

Alliance Systems

Unified alliance surface includes Overview, Members, Vault, Treaties, War Coordination, Changelog, and Shared Objectives tabs.
Each tab hydrates from a dedicated endpoint and falls back gracefully when one endpoint is degraded.

Members, vault, and objective tabs now include policy/cadence content blocks that can be API-fed with deterministic fallback defaults.

Governance and Legal

Terms of Service expanded into full contractual scope with enforcement, billing, dispute, and liability sections.
Privacy Policy expanded with data categories, legal bases, transfer controls, retention model, and rights handling.
Code of Conduct expanded with anti-harassment, anti-fraud, alliance leadership rules, appeals, and event addenda.

UI and Accessibility

Alliance CSS expanded for responsive two-column command layouts and improved status/readability hierarchy.
Tab panels now preserve semantic relationships and keyboard focus metadata for clearer navigation.

Operational Notes

Release includes expanded tab health diagnostics and legal policy cross-link validation checks.
Legal page support queue auto-routing tags updated for Terms, Privacy, and Conduct categories.

Release type: Patch · Downtime: None · Migration required: No

Live Ops

Public route messaging and first-session signposting tuned for onboarding continuity.
Homepage teaser copy aligned to active realm pacing and release cycle timing.

Stability

Route normalization checks and surface readiness validation tightened in pre-release gates.

Release type: Minor · Downtime: 5 min maintenance window · Migration required: No

War & Diplomacy

War timeline stage vocabulary normalized across UI and runtime contracts.
Support, recon, and recall timing semantics aligned with deterministic phase transitions.

Severity Legend

Major: Breaking contract changes requiring migration or new tactical assumptions.
Minor: Additive systems/policy growth preserving compatibility.
Patch: Clarifications and fixes without contract impact.

Deployment Checklist

Pre-release: API smoke checks across all seven alliance tabs passed in staging.
Release gate: Route-manifest, page-integrity, and registry validators passed.
Post-release: Observe alliance endpoint saturation, support queue lag, and fallback-card trendline for 24h.

Known Issues & Follow-ups

Watchlist (as of March 30, 2026)

Alliance endpoint partial hydration: Under elevated latency, one or more tabs may render fallback before live payload arrival.
Large roster rendering: Member lists over 80 records may produce mobile scroll jank on low-memory devices.
Support confirmation lag: Legal/privacy ticket confirmations can delay during major policy deployments.

Rollback Plan

Rollback candidate: Build 1.13.2.
Trigger: Sustained alliance API 5xx rate above release SLO threshold.
Impact: Legal page content remains additive and requires no data rollback.

Player-Facing FAQ

Will this reset alliance progress? No. This release modifies surface coverage and API hydration behavior only.
Why do some cards show fallback values? A fallback appears when a tab endpoint is temporarily delayed or unavailable.
Did policy pages replace old legal docs? Yes. Terms, Privacy, and Conduct pages now contain full production policy text.
