Astro Diner Updates
Last updated: June 2026
This page records visible site and game updates that matter to players, reviewers, and returning visitors. It avoids private implementation noise and focuses on what changed in the public experience.
June 2026 crawlability and reference update
The site added a crawlable homepage fallback, a larger set of permanent reference pages, expanded route inventory, refreshed sitemap entries, and stronger validation around indexed and noindex routes.
The new pages document real current systems: generated recipes, customer archetypes, world unlock thresholds, shop upgrades, missions, achievements, accessibility notes, local saves, and troubleshooting.
| Release Date | Version Category | Key Shipped Features |
|---|---|---|
| June 2026 | Publisher Content Depth | Expanded static tables, SVG architecture schematics, and screenshot integration |
| June 2026 | Technical Baseline & Quality | discriminated union assertions, secure storage tests, and layout regression fixes |
| May 2026 | AdSense Readiness Pass | Clean extensionless routes, sitemap.xml alignment, privacy & verification files |
| May 2026 | Campaign Hub & Portability | Premium diner hub, 12 achievements, rotating missions, and secure export/import tools |
June 2026 technical baseline
The project added a typecheck script and fixed the current TypeScript baseline in focused areas: tutorial focus handling, manager room progress entries, privacy checklist props, secure save test seeding, and discriminated union assertions in order-serving tests.
The baseline matters because site content work should not hide broken game code. The remediation path keeps playable behavior and validation in the same repo instead of treating content as a separate shell.
May 2026 AdSense recovery readiness
The site already included a public page inventory, sitemap alignment checks, family and privacy pages, noindex handling for review-only pages, and a pause on active ad slot placement during recovery readiness.
Those checks remain in place. The June update expands the content surface without adding ads back into the game container.
June 2026 campaign hub and portability update
The game added a premium diner hub, recipe mastery, 12 released achievements, 8 rotating mission definitions, personal best records, recent shift history, and save export/import tools generated from the same campaign data used by gameplay.
The update keeps production deployment and AdSense review work outside the gameplay boundary. It also keeps unfinished worlds hidden from playable routing.
What did not change
The game still plays from the homepage. Local browser saves remain local unless the player chooses export/import. No public chat or account requirement was added. No active display ad slot was added to the gameplay surface during this update.
How update notes are scoped
The updates page is limited to changes that a player, reviewer, or returning visitor can understand from the public site. It includes crawlability work, route expansion, validation, and trust-page behavior because those affect the product surface.
It does not list private brainstorming as shipped gameplay. That boundary matters for content quality: release notes should describe completed work, not inflate the product with plans that are still only tasks or design ideas.
For June 2026, the visible changes are content and validation changes around the playable game: more indexed references, stronger route checks, and proof that ads are not being inserted into the active game surface during recovery work. Future notes should keep that same standard.
