CHANGELOG

CHANGELOG

What changes on the Archive — and when.

The Archive logs everything it ships: features added, updates to published work, corrections to errors caught after the fact, and data refreshes that bring the dashboards forward. Corrections are flagged plainly — accountability is the price of trust, and an analysis site that quietly edits its own past is one that should not be trusted.

2026-05-22 FEATURE
Published the Changelog — a reader-facing log of what changes on the site, including any corrections to published work.
2026-05-22 FEATURE
Published The Cover Ledger — the durability accounting of the hypothetical 11th-edition cover change, archetype by archetype and weapon by weapon.
2026-05-22 FEATURE
Pairings Tool: added a calibration overlay that lays the Archive's first-party matchup baseline under your matrix and flags where your read departs from the measured data, with a five-state marker including a foggy-data 'inconclusive' state.
2026-05-22 FEATURE
Pairings Tool: lifted the Blind / WTC protocol toggle into the top toolbar, added saved matrices (persisted to your browser), and a printable scenario report.
2026-05-22 FEATURE
Added a small Archivist data-stream easter egg, hidden behind a triple-click on the Quantum dashboard's status-bar cube.
2026-05-21 FEATURE
Added Reader — a third site theme — alongside Dark and Light, with a three-way segmented control in the header.
2026-05-21 FEATURE
Published Where Cover Lives — the first Editor-voice feature long-read, a speculative column on a hypothetical 11th-edition cover-rules change.
2026-05-21 FEATURE
Published Awakenings dispatch #2 (The Baseline Week, W21) and folded the Chronicle section into Awakenings so dispatches and retrospectives surface together.
2026-05-21 CORRECTION
Corrected the Captain Decision Archive: a misattributed faction label on two players (Zach as Astra Militarum, Jeremy/Steph as Thousand Sons), and the RLD pairings-process line on the same entry.
2026-05-21 UPDATE
Wayfinder: full pre-launch link audit (28 removals, 26 URL fixes, 1 rename), plus six new directory entries. The VISIT button now properly links out.
2026-05-21 DATA
Tournament-coverage feed catch-up: 45 curated competitive-40k videos added alongside the existing written coverage.
2026-05-21 FEATURE
The Archive flipped from pre-launch posture to public launch — stale 'pre-launch' labels removed, data-provenance lines added across the dashboard.
2026-05-20 FEATURE
Quantum: added the ELO tab — a provisional three-rating system (Raw, Theory-adjusted, Performance-adjusted) for the competitive scene the Archive tracks.
2026-05-20 FEATURE
Added the Damage Distribution Calculator — type a Tier-1 attack-and-target profile and see the exact full probability distribution of total damage and models destroyed.
2026-05-20 FEATURE
Published the four methodology articles — The Big Soup Problem, Six Bins, Swiss Isn't Random, and On Average — alongside their interactive Protocol tools.
2026-05-20 FEATURE
Restructured the landing page and the Quantum dashboard, added an About page (manifesto + Editor disclosure), and gave Quantum a slim hero, a status bar, and seven themed tabs.
2026-05-20 DATA
First Attention snapshot landed (2026-W20) — Google Trends and YouTube interest signals for all 29 factions, feeding the Quantum dashboard's Attention tab.
2026-05-19 FEATURE
Captain Decision Archive: published the first full event — CHTT 2026 R1-R5, including the Blunt Force Gambit Round-5 entry as the lead case study.
2026-05-19 FEATURE
Added the Performance Pull — the Archive's own first-party tournament aggregation, including a 28×28 matchup matrix and a weekly / current-patch / edition multi-view toggle.
2026-05-17 FEATURE
Faction Dossiers: 29 per-faction pages with Unit Lab, archetype classification, and the five-axis radar that compares each faction's profile against the population.
2026-05-16 FEATURE
Protocol launch — the methodology lab. Five interactive tools (CI Explorer, Two-Proportion Test, Power Analysis, Damage Distribution, Methodology Library directory) plus the methodology-article register.
2026-05-15 FEATURE
Glossary published — 61 entries covering 40k-scene vocabulary, scoring conventions, and the statistical concepts the methodology pieces use.
2026-05-15 FEATURE
Site Phase 1 complete: shared base layout, the six section landings (Quantum, Awakenings, Protocol, Dossiers, Matrix, Wayfinder), and the phosphor data-terminal design language.
2026-05-14 FEATURE
Initial repository scaffold — the Pairings Tool, the WTC-solver reference implementation, and the early dispatch-page convention that the rest of the site grew from.
