Sources and editorial method

Effects and structure use the community 70532 snapshot and October 23 hotfix cache. Chinese is a site translation; each step exposes the English original. The site authors the order; the source does not publish these complete routes. Thirteen routes repair conflicts; forty-one retain their order with current effects checked. All still await editorial and gameplay review.
