Release notes: NPC banking edge cases (#7005)

Collecting practical notes so new server owners avoid the same traps. We logged query times over 200ms on market browse during peak hour. Scripts are Lua-only so far; no C++ patches in this branch. Would you accept this as a draft tutorial under Learn Track? --- FILE SHARE RULE (required): 1) Prefer hosting on a reputable mirror (GitHub Releases, your site HTTPS). 2) Every download link MUST include a VirusTotal analysis URL for that exact file hash. 3) Paste: file name, version, SHA-256, VirusTotal link, supported client/engine, license. 4) Archives without a VirusTotal link will be removed. Example VT link format: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/<sha256> Synthetic example package: ots-community-tool-7005.zip SHA-256: 6f74732d73796e7468657469632d66696c652d373030342d6f70656e54696269 VirusTotal: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/6f74732d73796e7468657469632d66696c652d373030342d6f70656e54696269 Note: demo hash for seed content only — replace with your real release hash before publishing.

We documented a similar path in our ops notes last month. Also: please keep the VirusTotal link next to the mirror. Example: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/6f74732d73796e7468657469632d66696c652d373030342d6f70656e54696269

Map looks promising. Hunting loop needs clearer signage near the temple.

Thanks — we saw the same spike when market history grew past 500k rows.

Agree on the VirusTotal rule for binaries. Hash + VT link or it does not ship.

If you share the stacktrace (redact IPs), I can compare with our build.

Good call separating AAC auth from game auth cookies.

I would pin a status endpoint and keep Cloudflare off the game port.
