September 30, 2026
Added support for upcoming agents and W-Engines to appear in advance with a Coming Soon status and automatically unlock when they release.

Added automatic backup agents for Limited characters in auto-filled teams. Players who don't own the selected Limited agent can use the assigned backup instead, with backup runs staying on the same leaderboard and clearly marked.
September 30, 2026
Reorganized the admin tabs into grouped two-level navigation, with clearer review alerts and a cleaner layout on smaller screens.
September 30, 2026
Improved community voting with a clearer, more compact explanation and vote count. Added clearer status, rotation, cost cap, and deadline pills across submissions and challenge pages.
September 30, 2026

Challenge list, submissions list, and FAQ sections now use the extra width on larger screens instead of staying a single narrow column.

The Cookie Preferences button and copyright line at the bottom of every page were overlapping/wrapping awkwardly due to missing styling. Fixed the layout and made it stack cleanly on mobile.

Moved Guidelines and Rules into the FAQ, moved Privacy and Terms to the page footer, and kept Changelog in the header.

Signed-in League Managers and Reviewers now see a small role tag next to their name in the top bar. Normal members and the developer account don't get a badge.

New submitters now get a quick reminder to show their UID, score/build proof, and Mindscape/refinement before submitting their first run.
