Changelog

Changes to what a listing says or whether it qualifies, and incidents once they are closed. Starts 15 Jul 2026 — the record is not reconstructed further back than it is reliable.

1. Method30 Jul 2026
   Listings nobody has checked now say so

   A listing's lifecycle read “Alive” whenever it was not known to be dead, which covered every record no liveness check had reached — the great majority of the catalog. Those now read “Unverified”. Only a positive finding says “Alive”.

2. Method30 Jul 2026
   “None confirmed dead” instead of “0 dead”

   The pool line reported a dead count of zero, which reads as a completed census that found no casualties. Nothing has been confirmed dead yet, and the line now says that instead.

3. Method30 Jul 2026
   Peer lists name what produced them

   The section under a listing was headed “Similar apps” whether it came from a nearest-neighbour match on what the projects do or from a fallback that lists the same category. The two are different claims, and the heading now distinguishes them.

4. Incident30 Jul 2026
   Listing imagery served through an open proxy — closed

   Icons and preview images were resized by an image optimizer configured to accept any URL from anyone, so third parties could drive it at our expense. It now serves only imagery belonging to records in this catalog, fetched by us rather than by your browser. Visible effect: a listing whose icon is over 250 kB falls back to its lettermark tile.

5. Method21 Jul 2026
   Listing bar widened to data completeness

   Whether a listing qualifies for public surfaces now takes the completeness of its record into account, not only its identity. Google Play surfaces are excluded from that pool.

6. Method15 Jul 2026
   Thin records excluded from the sitemap

   Records without enough description to be worth a page are kept out of the sitemap, in step with the same quality tier that governs indexing.

What the labels mean

Healthy

The latest successful public snapshot is inside the expected freshness window for that surface.

Delayed

The surface is behind its expected cadence but still recent enough to read with caution.

Stale

The latest timestamp is missing or materially older than the threshold for that surface.

Partial

A rolling job has covered some of the catalog but not most of it — read its figure, not its badge.

Not running

The job has not covered any of the catalog. Nothing it would report can be inferred from its silence.

An age label says how long it has been since PulseGate last refreshed that surface successfully. It does not imply source-side uptime, and it does not guarantee the underlying third-party source changed at the same moment.
