Playdeck 6.3 · Local release watch

Local installations now compare human-readable versions against independently fetched publisher releases. A Steam installation or BuildID is not required.

• Enter the installed version once, or confirm a local version file; fetch release labels from publisher announcements or an official GitHub repository.
• Review Your copy beside Published release, with edition confirmation, release notes and dated evidence. Source selection leaves artwork and titles untouched.
• Cache results and failures for at least 24 hours, include manual versions in daily checks, retain offline evidence and preserve tiny card chips.
• Unsupported numbering and unnumbered updates explain what is missing instead of claiming current status.

Validation: 96 core/integration checks including live providers; 55 native UI checks; fresh install, upgrade and uninstall; existing library unchanged. A read-only library audit found numbered release evidence for 43/65 games with zero provider errors. This is evidence availability, not universal coverage or 43 confirmed comparisons.

Read the source/edition limitations in docs/VERSIONS.md. The Windows installer is unsigned. User data is preserved on uninstall.
