AUTOMATED WATCH // HUMAN-VERIFIED FACTS
ROS Legacy Source Tracker
This page shows the monitoring layer behind the wiki. A scheduled check reads the public ROS Legacy site, the Myth Games portfolio, the official Discord directory and a labelled community video feed every six hours. Source health and new creator uploads can update automatically; claims about release timing, downloads and final gameplay still wait for a person to compare the changed source with the existing page.
4 of 4 sources healthy
Automatic output: source health, check time and community-video discovery. Human review: release timing, installers, platforms and final-game claims.
01Four signals with different authority
The official game page owns the public launch message. When its visible status text, page title or focused launch copy changes, the monitor records a new fingerprint. That change matters because the same page is expected to become the safest route to registration, a store listing or a client when Myth Games opens access. A changed fingerprint is a signal to inspect the page, not proof that the game launched.
The Myth Games portfolio is watched separately because it provides company-level labels such as project status, genre and platform. The Discord directory confirms that a dedicated ROS Legacy community route still exists. Keeping these checks separate reveals whether one source changed while the others stayed the same, which is more useful than blending every page into one vague status.
Falcon2FAST's public YouTube feed is the fourth source and is deliberately marked community. New matching uploads can appear in the video archive automatically, with title, date and creator attribution. They help visitors discover recent footage, but they cannot override the first-party release state.
02What the automation actually compares
For ordinary web pages, the monitor removes scripts, styling and build-system noise before focusing on visible text around ROS Legacy status terms. It hashes that stable snapshot and compares it with the previous successful run. This avoids raising an alert just because a hosting platform changed a JavaScript filename or deployment identifier while the player-facing message stayed the same.
For the video feed, the stable snapshot contains matching video IDs, titles and publication times. A new upload, changed title or revised feed entry creates a difference. View counts are excluded because they change constantly and would create useless alerts. The current feed window is intentionally limited, keeping the on-site archive recent instead of pretending to be a complete history of the creator's channel.
Each run also records HTTP health, the resolved destination and the time of the check. A temporary request failure is shown as a source-health problem; it does not erase the previous successful snapshot or turn a missing response into a development conclusion.
03Why release facts still require review
A web page can change for reasons that have nothing to do with access: a spelling correction, a redesigned footer, a new image or an update to another game in the company portfolio. Publishing a release date from any raw difference would be reckless. The scheduled workflow therefore writes a plain-language difference report and opens one review task when a meaningful fingerprint changes.
The reviewer checks the changed first-party page, identifies the exact player action affected and updates the route that owns that question. A published test window belongs on the release page. A verified installer belongs on the download page. Named mechanics belong in the gameplay file with the relevant build or source date. The chronological updates page then records the change without duplicating a full guide.
This boundary gives the site both speed and control: discovery is automatic, while interpretation remains accountable. Community uploads can refresh the clearly labelled media feed because their title and source are displayed as-is; high-risk claims cannot skip the verification step.
04How to read a quiet or failing radar
A quiet radar means the monitored public snapshot did not change. It does not prove that development stopped, and it does not prove that no private test exists. It only says that the public sources in this list supplied the same tracked signal at the last successful check. That narrow meaning is valuable because it prevents silence from becoming a headline.
An error badge means the monitor could not obtain or parse one source during the most recent run. The previous successful result remains available, but its age should be considered before acting on it. If the official game page fails while the company portfolio remains healthy, visitors should use the direct links below and avoid drawing a release conclusion from the outage.
The source list is intentionally small. A new official news page, store page or patch-note feed should be added when Myth Games publishes it. Fan posts, repost accounts and download mirrors stay outside the automatic authority chain even when they are popular, because reach is not the same as provenance.

Frequently asked questions
Does this tracker publish game updates automatically?
It automatically refreshes source health, check time and the labelled community-video list. A first-party text change creates a review task. Release dates, installer links, platform claims and final mechanics are updated only after a person verifies the changed source and edits the correct guide.
How often are ROS Legacy sources checked?
The repository schedule runs every six hours and can also be started manually. The status panel shows the last generated check time and each source's health. Hosting or network failures may delay a run, so the displayed timestamp is more reliable than assuming the schedule completed.
Why is a YouTube creator included beside official sources?
The creator feed supplies recent visual material that players are already using to follow development. It is displayed in a separate community tier and cannot change the official status. The distinction lets the wiki offer useful footage without presenting creator titles as publisher announcements.
