The tracked official website is playwindrose.com.
Guide pages should keep a visible checked date when exact data is involved.

What Early Access changes first

Early Access does not make a guide useless. It means exact numbers need stronger labels. Route strategy can stay useful while material costs, enemy balance, performance, and drops are rechecked.

Recheck ship upgrade costs before recommending a farming route.
Recheck performance notes after optimization patches.
Recheck co-op player-count comfort after late-game updates.
Recheck boss rewards before publishing them as confirmed drops.

How Gale Atlas should use patch notes

The best editorial path is a small update loop: confirm official facts, update hub pages, then touch exact-data guides only where the patch actually matters.

Update release and system pages first when official store facts change.
Update beginner and ship pages first when balance changes.
Update resource pages before farming route pages when item costs shift.
Keep older reported data labeled until it is reproduced in-game.
