Debate Dev Log · Sep 23

Debate walked on two legs today. Product: the stage-four trio shipped — influence stats for your opinions, a "my pick" badge on share cards, and a Devil's Advocate whose job is to argue with you. Economy: major surgery — honors fully absorbed by prestige, Fuel funneled down to three taps, admin-granted fuel on its own ledger (earliest expiry spent first, expirable, server-only), plus one latent bug fixed — a missing ledger column that would have exploded on everyone's very first top-up.

Security borrowed homework from the platform: 34 admin-only profile fields got direct-write gates, and 16 high-privilege database functions lost their public execution — the kind of hole that's harmless until it very much isn't. Every function's search path got pinned too. Old-school defense, but old-school because it works.
