⚖️ Changelog scope

Source: Steam News “v4.09 - Role Adjustments”, cross-checked with Fandom/community notes, then written into bilingual fields in roles.json. Each role’s updatedAt is the content-change date — not a site-wide broadcast.

🔧 Witch Doctor

Before: Curse-stare progress fully reset when the target left line of sight.

After v4.09: Progress gradually decreases when LOS breaks instead of a full reset; short breaks are recoverable.

Impact: More forgiving wall-chase tempo without making stare free.

🔧 Cuckoo

Before: Only standard-size visible eggs.

After v4.09: Charge the ability to lay smaller eggs while remaining idle (stealth for mobility).

Impact: Hide eggs in busy corridors; pay with idle risk on cam.

🔧 Lucid Dreamer

Before: Could smash Cuckoo eggs during meetings in the dream state.

After v4.09: Can no longer smash Cuckoo eggs during meetings (out-of-meeting smashing unchanged).

Impact: Removes free meeting-time anti-Cuckoo labor; patrols matter again.

🔧 Raven

Before: Could smash Cuckoo eggs in meetings; slower Hunt; vulnerable to lights during Hunt.

After v4.09: No meeting egg-smash; increased Hunt move speed; Lights sabotage does not affect Raven during Hunt.
