- New official release or changelog entry.
- Meaningful workflow impact for gaming, streaming, AI, creator production, automation, or web publishing.
- Enough public community signal to evaluate stability, regressions, or user confusion.
- Security, pricing, policy, licensing, or compatibility changes that creators may miss.
Consensus method
- Official source is treated as the factual baseline.
- Community reports are grouped by recurring theme, severity, and frequency.
- AUXSAYS labels stay quick-readable: Positive, Moderate, Negative, or Insufficient.
- Individual update pages carry the deeper score, report count, confidence, and timeline.
