The Shimotsuki Codex

The unglamorous release: we found and fixed the bug that had quietly frozen the weekly data refresh since launch. The Codex is now current through Chapter 1188 — and will stay current, because the fix was to the pipeline, not just the data.

• Data caught up — chapters 1182–1188 scraped: appearances, canon facts, debut gating, and the Atlas grid all now cover Elbaph's latest.
• Self-updating freshness — the Spoiler Guard's "I'm caught up" ceiling, the release-map dates, and the Atlas's open arc now track the newest scraped chapter automatically instead of relying on hand-bumped numbers.
• Devil Fruit fixes — five fruit pages (Mero Mero, Nikyu Nikyu, Sui Sui, Supa Supa, Uo Uo Seiryu) no longer render their natural user and Seraphim copy as one concatenated name.
• Theory archive hardening — the theory refresher now merges new Reddit posts into the curated archive instead of replacing it, and refuses to write anything on a failed fetch.
• Daily freshness — the refresh now runs every day (fast chapter probe) with a full deep refresh on Sundays, so new chapters land within a day of their wiki page appearing.
• Honesty pass — Theory Forge and Trivia Trial are unlinked from the site until they're genuinely ready: theory verdicts need human review, and the quiz needs proper spoiler-gating. Both pages say so plainly if you visit them directly.

The Codex is officially out of "iterating in the open" and into v1. Six months of pull-everything-into-one-place — hand-curated where the wiki couldn't reach.
