Changelog entry
Intel snapshot lifecycle for SCOUT ops (P5.1B)
2026-03-25
- Successful **SCOUT** operations now create an `IntelSnapshot` record for the attacker-target pair with full target nation data captured at resolve time.
- Intel snapshots expire automatically after a config-driven duration (`INTEL_SNAPSHOT_DURATION_TICKS`, default 12 ticks / 24h), after which visibility falls back to normal tier rules.
- Ongoing war opponents automatically receive **TREATY** visibility, and war status does not auto-upgrade to **INTEL**.
