October 1–30 2,116 commits The Road was the centre of this month’s work: keeping your journey moving, making accepted work count, and connecting quests, raids, content and rewards without losing your place. There is also a new raid action menu, independent appeals, more useful Squad tools, shared research, and a substantial rebuild underneath the platform. THE ROAD • Open a quest, raid or content activity over the page you are already using. Close it or press Escape to return to the same Road position. • Your chosen tab stays selected when an activity finishes preparing. • Undo skip lets you return to an eligible skipped stop, with server checks for availability and work already started farther along the route. • Withdrawn sources, closed content campaigns and activities that can no longer settle have clearer recovery paths. • Completed activities and replaced stops recover their recorded outcome without asking you to earn the same credit twice. • Paid partial raid approvals can now count toward Road acceptance while the remaining actions stay open for correction. • Rejected content can be corrected on its existing assignment. Editing a brief does not create another copy of the same prompt. • Refill delivery and recovery have been repaired so the route finds newly available work more promptly. The map itself has received a broad performance pass: reused terrain and scenery, fewer repeated drawings and text measurements, lighter mission cards, bounded route calculations, and fixes for controls disappearing while the first surface loads. REWARDS THAT STAY WITH YOUR WORK Permanent crate and mystery rewards now accompany eligible Road activity. Each task keeps its saved offer; configured project rewards retain their own terms. Accepted eligible rewards go directly to Inventory, including work completed from another screen. Your Road still follows its configured order, and the normal activity VP is awarded once. Catch-up work restores missing eligible rewards while preserving items already issued or opened. Opening a crate or mystery reveals its saved result; closing the animation or refreshing does not reroll it. Inventory gained clearer stacks, history, selected-item links and recovery when a refresh fails. The old locked-VP award path has been retired, alongside repairs to legacy ledger and balance reconciliation. RAIDS: CHOOSE WHAT YOU DID New action-menu raids offer optional actions: • Like — 2 VP. • Repost — 3 VP. • Send via chat — 5 VP. • Copy link — 5 VP. • Comment or quote repost — 5 VP each, from Legionary rank. WHEN A RAID POST DISAPPEARS On raids created from members’ campaign posts, Post unavailable? checks whether the target is still visible on X. If the post is confirmed gone, the raid ends and the Road moves on. Joined raiders who had not submitted proof receive their 5 VP supplies back. Proof already submitted keeps its review. An X outage is not treated as proof that a post disappeared. REVIEWS AND APPEALS A rejected raid action can be appealed once while its correction window remains open. A different reviewer checks the same saved evidence; the reviewer whose decision is challenged cannot decide its appeal. Reviewers assess the actions actually claimed. A Like without Repost needs only its own control, and the target post’s quality is not a reason to reject the raider’s proof. Overturned reviews feed a graduated reviewing-pause system. Staff also have clearer review-speed records, suspicious-pattern flags and timed-pause reasons. Verifier Center received fixes for queue sizing, scroll access, missing evidence, expired claims, reopened submissions and saved verdicts whose response was lost. A timed-out submit checks whether the verdict was saved before asking you to retry. Human reviews remain in Verifier Center. The obsolete Admin Reviews surface has been removed while community raid management stays available under its normal permissions. SQUADS, PROOF AND PROGRESSION • Tasks/Notes brings shared checklists and mission notes into the Squad workspace. • Leaders and officers can assign tasks and link them to quests; assignees complete their own items. • Members can write notes, and Squad leaders and officers can pin important chat messages. • Mentions remain visible while you are elsewhere in the app. Chat digests collect counts and sender names without copying message contents into notifications. • Per-message Translate keeps the original alongside an automatic translation in your chosen reading language. • Squad bios give leaders and officers up to 300 characters to describe their group. • Later-joining members can open eligible missions, including work returned for changes. • Explicitly Solo missions use one Your proof form with saved drafts and correction recovery. • Shared reports show who has met the personal requirements and preserve the qualifying submission cohort. Squads can expand to 15 members through Treasury-funded slots. Legionary progression now requires 10,000 total VP alongside the required core quests and declaration. SHARE KNOWLEDGE WITH CREDIT Contributions brings approved reports into a members’ Research library when the author or submitting Squad leader chooses to share them. Sharing starts off; screenshots and review notes remain private. The public Research archive keeps full articles, author credit, source details and withdrawal controls. Article Creation quests add a formatted editor inside the proof form. Before submission, the task tells you whether approval publishes the article. Squad reports can credit a selected member as its author. HOME AND COMMUNITY TOOLS • Live raids, source filters and history are brought together on Home. • Phone and tablet layouts, scroll rails, card spacing, Treasury and review panels are easier to use. • News rotates with pauses for interaction and hidden views. • One Wallets dialog manages saved verified addresses from the account menu or supported activities. • Leaderboards gained shareable links, clearer refresh states and recovery from expired pagination. • The Zaps hub brings wallet selection and campaign setup together where enabled, with honest labels for unavailable provider data. • Forum and Support gained content reporting, clearer moderation states, and controls to confirm or reopen a reported fix. • Platform announcements gained audience previews, mute handling, delivery history and resumable sends. • Linked News and quest scheduling keeps scheduled work unavailable until opening. • Custom Leaderboard feed controls have clearer naming and guarded configuration tools. • Community admin repairs restore SQL-backed walkthroughs, banner uploads, Activity Raffle controls, Telegram settings and current reward permissions. Community self-service announcements remain behind rollout flags. FOUNDATIONS AND RELIABILITY October brought the PostgreSQL cutover, production database tuning and SQL-backed app and bot services. Quastor gained safer gateway retries, complete snapshot publication, deduplicated promotions and confirmation that onboarding identity links were actually saved. Telegram gained the same raid action menu, corrections and appeals, with recovery that stops resurfacing obsolete work. Across the app, we reduced duplicate polling, batched repeated reads, deferred heavy parsers and views, compressed assets and uploads, and cut unnecessary re-renders. Specific fixes also cover missed chat after reconnect, tied history timestamps, quiz answer-key grading, stable Solo mission identity, withdrawn proof cleanup, unpublished leaderboard states, unavailable sprint boards, account restrictions and billing reconciliation. Availability follows community permissions and rollout settings. This update covers work through October 30. See you on The Road. Long Live The Republic.
