Updates and releases

The Playbook is a living artefact. Substantive corrections ship within sixty days of report; new prompt templates and revised plays land in the v1.x track between major editions. This page is the public ledger.

If you reported an erratum and want to know whether it shipped, this is the page to check. Reporters who opted in to credit are named with each entry.

The update track contract

Every entry on this page falls into one of three kinds:

  • Release — a new version of the Playbook. Major editions get a major-version bump (v1 → v2 means a new edition you re-buy); v1.x updates are free for past purchasers and arrive in the same email thread as your original receipt.
  • Revision — a substantive change inside the current edition. New prompt templates, expanded examples, or a chapter that was substantially rewritten in response to reader feedback.
  • Erratum — a correction. Unsourced statistic now sourced; non-runnable prompt now runs; broken citation now resolves; anonymised case now named or removed.

The seven-day acknowledgement and sixty-day-fix SLAs are documented on the errata page. This page is where the fix gets recorded.

Resolved from the errata tracker

Every erratum runs through the public errata tracker. When the author resolves a report and closes it there, it appears below automatically — each one linked to the full thread, so you can read both the original report and the fix. This list rebuilds with every release, so it always reflects the tracker.

How readers find out

  • Past purchasers get a download-refresh email when a v1.x release ships, in the same thread as the original receipt.
  • This page is the public ledger — anyone can read it without buying the Playbook.
  • Substantive corrections also surface as Erratum entries on this page within sixty days of report.

If your team adopted the Playbook and you want to be notified centrally rather than per-reader, email the author from the errata channel and the notice will be routed to a single inbox.
