Use This Layer

Use the diff explorer when the question is what changed, not whether the site is healthy

The patch dashboard is the control room. This page is the change browser.

First read

Start here when you need entity-level drift

If the real question is which card, relic, event, or enemy changed between versions, use this page. The dashboard is still the better page for dataset health, smoke-test priority, and overall sync status.

When to use it

When this page helps

Use this page when you want to narrow changes by dataset, added or removed state, and whether the item still needs a manual review pass.

Common misread

Most common misread

Treating this page like a replacement for the destination page. The diff tells you what moved. The linked page still owns the live rule, card text, or database context.

Boundary

What this page cannot replace

This page does not tell you whether the refresh pipeline is healthy in aggregate or which tools are at highest risk. That is still patch dashboard territory.

Real use example

Use it before you edit the manual layer

A clean maintenance flow is: filter down to the changed entities here, check which ones still need manual review, then open the affected database or guide page instead of grepping the whole repo blindly.

Go deeper next

Use the narrower page once the lookup is done

If a patch moves the numbers, wording, or assumptions behind this page, the page gets revised, narrowed, or rechecked again.

V102 -> V103

Patch date: April 9, 2026

V103 now reads from a unified V103 refresh instead of a half-synced V102 shell.

Patch truth, route validation, and tool-data checks now move together instead of being cleaned up by hand after the fact.

Removed live entities stay compatible through explicit legacy landings instead of breaking old links.
