🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Restore the still-applicable limitations.
The replacement removes release-relevant caveats from the release-note surface. Users may interpret the release as supporting Xbox and uninstalled catalogs, non-local provider IDs and decks, GOG overlay/cloud saves, untranslated areas, Windows ARM64, and macOS. Restore concise caveats for these limitations instead of stating only that the changelog is incomplete.
Suggested fix
