This review also raised problems with editing and importing. The September manuscript releases addressed formatting, import handling, and revision tools. That release history does not imply the reviewer has changed their opinion.

Writer feedback has shaped real changes: optional scenes, manuscript formatting, revision tools, and planning-card refinements. Scriptorum is commercially released and continues to improve.
