+- Wortwahl (Besitzer): Die Völker heißen auf Englisch überall **Faction/Factions** (Realm-Zeile, Freischalt-Hinweis
+  auf der Ergebniskarte, Community-Bild und -Post, Trailer-Untertitel, Einreichungstext). Interne Namen (`faction`,
+  CSS `.peoples`) bleiben.
+- `devvit logs ninelands_game_dev --since 1d`: keine Fehler (weder `server error` noch `flair`/`crown flair`), der
+  Tageswechsel lief also ohne Ausnahme. Sonst nur „Telemetry event dropped: event was valid, but Journey telemetry is
+  not recorded for playtest app versions.“ → **Journeys werden gültig gesendet, aber nur für installierte
+  (Nicht-Playtest-)Versionen gezählt.** Auswertung also erst nach Upload + Installation in r/Ninelands sichtbar.
