Developer review board
Review what is complete, what still needs source work, and which files should only be removed after their replacements are ready.
Completed and ready for review
The featured area now shows the newest patch instead of repeating the newest general article. Filter dropdowns use the dark site style.
EntityBot history can now be filtered by date range, item type, side, character or Killer, one or two items, matching rule, grouping, and minimum count.
The page now has 141 original objective patterns, collection and role filters, a local tracker, and a community submission queue that messages cmcosmic for approval.
r/dbd has been added to the bot target subreddit list alongside the existing communities.
Notes from the current review
Keep the current original objective patterns, then add a separate source reviewed import for exact historical Tome, Rift, event, and special objective wording. Store source, collection, release, role, and review date for every imported entry.
Replace prototype guide text with original EntityBot summaries that include a source link and a reviewed for patch label. Flag guides for recheck when a relevant patch changes their mechanics.
Replace Randomizer with a deeper Build Lab instead of duplicating the quick randomizer already inside Games. Build Lab should support manual perk selection, full descriptions, icons, owners, search, filters, Killer add ons, Survivor items, synergy notes, conflicts, and direct archive submission.
Keep the current Learning structure for now. Test every lesson and quiz for usefulness, source sensitive mechanics, unclear wording, and outdated information before public navigation is added.
The next shared data pass should correct the perk catalog once, then let Builds, Library, Games, Challenges, Learning, Statistics, and Build Lab all use the same records.
| Audit item | Current finding | Required action |
|---|---|---|
| Perk records | 315 records | Verify names, aliases, side, character, descriptions, and current availability. |
| Icon files | 377 PNG files in the perk icon folder | Match every active record to the correct unique image and remove unused duplicates only after verification. |
| Placeholder mappings | Shattered Hope, Lend a Hand, Cross Examination, and Wide Open Throttle currently use the missing image | Find and map the correct icons. |
| Suspect duplicate art | Mirrored Illusion and Machine Learning; Road Life and Flow State; Rancor and Ravenous; Hex: Fortune’s Fool and Forever Entwined; Change of Plan and Five Moves Ahead; Secret Project and A Place for Us | Audit each group against current game data before changing filenames. |
| Shared ownership data | Character metadata is now available for detailed Statistics, but newer records still need verification | Finish the owner map and use it everywhere. |
Public suggestions are stored in web/data/challenge_suggestions.json. A Reddit message is sent to cmcosmic. Developer routes can list pending suggestions and approve or deny them. Approval adds the objective to the Community submissions collection in the challenge library.
Do not delete these during this pass. Review them after the replacement or test purpose is confirmed.
| File | When it can be removed |
|---|---|
| web/randomizer.html | After Build Lab is complete, reviewed, and replaces its internal review link. |
| web/gamesbackup.html | After confirming Games has a separate recoverable backup. |
| web/indexbackup.html | After confirming the current Home page is backed up elsewhere. |
| web/leaderboardbackup.html | After confirming the current Leaderboard is stable and recoverable. |
| web/260701 builds.html | After confirming no code or link still references this dated copy. |
| web/leaderboard_effects_lab.html | After every approved effect has been moved into the live Leaderboard and the lab is no longer needed. |
