====== October 2026 website updates ======

These website changes are separate from bot releases and do not require a lobby restart.

===== Player statistics =====

  * Combined lifetime rankings add retained owner history and consenting community-host activity, without counting an uploaded owner baseline twice.
  * Owner network aliases resolve to the same Owner lobbies view.
  * Lifetime player records are preserved. The rolling graph window does not limit lifetime statistics.
  * Recent time views use recorded activity intervals where coverage exists. Older cumulative owner totals are not invented as weekly activity.

===== More reliable player graphs =====

Occupancy sampling now has its own lightweight five-minute job, independent of the heavier player-statistics export. Statistics processing uses bounded memory while retaining the complete lifetime inputs.

The combined graph adds owner occupancy to available listed community occupancy. Unavailable, expired or missing community readings contribute zero, so a community reporting outage does not hide a valid owner total. Recorded owner readings also fill eligible earlier combined-graph gaps under the same rule; original underlying observations are retained.

An unavailable owner reading can still leave a gap. No community history is invented before combined coverage began. Occupancy includes spectators and counts room presences rather than unique people across rooms.
