What changes

This release introduces four new event types, reorganizes how each ticket declares its identity (names, dates and weeks instead of random trigger words in notifications and previews), and closes a long list of early-alpha bugs, including inconsistent daily mission badges, ECHO clone tickets showing impossible evolutions, and missing LEGENDARY rewards.

New

• Four new event types, in addition to the two existing ones ("Community submissions" and "Unique words discovered"). Each differs by the rule that decides whether a submit contributes to the event counter:
  • "Distinct words per player": each player earns one point the first time they submit a given word during the event. Later submissions of the same word by the same player in that event do not count. It rewards lexical variety inside the event. The ticket has a dedicated concentric-ring look.
  • "Themed distinct words": like Distinct words per player, with an admin-defined theme constraint such as lipogram, minimum/maximum length or length range. Words outside the constraint do not count. The ticket uses vertical bands.
  • "Themed submissions": every submit that matches the theme counts, including repetitions. This is the volume version of Themed distinct words, suited for restriction-based marathons. The ticket uses Bézier curves crossed by dashed gates.
  • "Player firsts": each player earns a point when they submit a word they had never submitted before in the whole season. It rewards expanding your seasonal vocabulary. The ticket uses a constellation look.

Fixed

• Non-word-bound tickets no longer display the word that generated them. EVENT, DAILY, WEEKLY SET and MASTERY tickets now show their proper label: event name, date, week range, track or latent name. The same label is used in notifications, Gallery search and social previews.
• DAILY tier is minted correctly when several missions complete at once. Completing multiple missions with one submission now always gives the tier matching the total completed missions, and the timeline marks intermediate tiers as reached together.
• Daily mission badges reflect the real ticket state. Simultaneous completions and Bounty Hour PLATINUM cases now show the correct badge.
• LEGENDARY now really credits FOIL and sends the congratulations email. Rewards are granted correctly on evolution, and previous LEGENDARY owners were credited retroactively.
• ECHO clones have a dedicated label and honest timeline. ECHO clones cannot become RESONANT because the resonance window belongs to the original ECHO. They now say CLONED ECHO / CLONED and stop at the base stage.
• Bounty Hour secret word is truly picked 20 minutes before start. Service recovery after restarts now respects the 20-minute lead time.
• Flagged words no longer advance events. Gibberish submissions do not count toward event stages or EVENT ticket mint/evolution.
• Changelog and Bounty Hour timestamps use local time. Changelog publication dates use the reader's browser timezone, and the Bounty card shows the local start time next to the countdown.

Improved

• Gallery Newest/Oldest includes evolutions. A ticket that evolves today can return to the top even if it was minted days ago.
• Better Gallery search for WEEKLY tickets. Searching for any date inside a week can find the corresponding WEEKLY ticket. WEEKLY labels now use a consistent date range format.
• One secret achievement now unlocks correctly. Players who already met the requirements receive it retroactively.
• Every event type has an info icon. Event cards and EVENT tickets now expose a short explanation of the counting rule and examples. Event progress also shows the unit next to numbers.
