Current patch frame

The current frame was checked on 2026-09-04 against patch 1.0.11. Earlier notes remain relevant where they changed save timing, sequence breaks, Fishipedia behavior, black-screen joining, private lobbies, or the eight-player cap.

When sources disagree—Salmon's lure and the final whale drop label are current examples—the site preserves the conflict. It does not turn a community label, an older translation, or "hopefully fixed" patch wording into an official guarantee.
