Field notes
The newer Experimental client work has not been automatically promoted into the browser package or the parked regular Steam package. This website update does not change the installed game or upload a new itch game ZIP.
Native Escape and itch F8 remain different. itch retains its integrated launcher, browser pointer lock/fullscreen, touch controls and account-scoped browser storage. Native retains its separate warm launcher and native profile paths.
Ship and module comparisons use Experimental values. A shared server can supply newer encounters to an older client whose local fitting or scan interface differs; use the installed client version when interpreting advice.
