# PROVENANCE AND EVIDENCE NOTES

Snapshot assembled: 2026-09-02

## Evidence classes

1. GitHub publication time: public GitHub release metadata.
2. Public announcement time: individual X status URLs supplied as primary provenance. Timestamp is deterministically derived from each status snowflake ID and stored as such.
3. Production/completion state: project release notes and latest verified project work state.

These classes are deliberately not interchangeable.

Survey verdict is intentionally phrased as NO EARLIER DOCUMENTED PRECEDENT FOUND IN THE SURVEYED PUBLIC RECORD for the narrow multi-title + public patch + ~77-hour combination. It is not a world-first claim.


## Prior-art cutoff rule

The narrow precedent test uses a strict cutoff before the first canonical burst announcement: `2026-08-29T16:25:16Z`. Comparators published after that instant can remain in the table as near-contemporary speed references, but they do not count as earlier precedent. In particular, Super Robot Wars Z v0.9.0 was publicly posted on August 30, 2026, so it is a strong production-speed comparator rather than a pre-burst precedent.

Additional verified comparator notes:
- Langrisser V: a complete AI-assisted English patch was publicly reported June 15, 2026; the creator disclosed use of Opus 4.8, Fable 5 and ChatGPT 5.5 and no human proofreading pass at initial release.
- Grandia: Digital Museum: AI-assisted alpha posted July 6, 2026; the creator reported roughly one day for extraction plus AI translation/self-review, while explicitly retaining alpha-level crashes, glitches and untranslated text.

## Historical attack-map continuity

The File Library research snapshot 'JRPG Localization Attack Map - 2026' is dated August 28, 2026 and predates these public release milestones. It classified Xenosaga I+II as PUBLIC_BETA, Phantasy Star Nova as PARTIAL_TRANSLATION, and Summon Night 3 as an abandoned/high-value target. The attraction preserves this as history rather than rewriting it.
