Corrections, in public

Arqly teaches distributed systems through animated scenes and a simulator, and both make claims about how real systems behave. Some of those claims are wrong. This page is where they get corrected, with the original report and what we did about it, so a learner can see what changed rather than find a page that quietly reads differently than it did last month.

Every scene has a flag icon in its header. Use it whenever you spot a factual error, a misleading diagram, a typo, or a citation we missed — including one you are only fairly sure about. Reports land in a queue; the ones we accept are published here with a status of acknowledged, fixed, or won't fix, and the reasoning in each case. We'd rather be right than look right.

Scenes cite their primary sources — the paper, RFC, design doc or talk the load-bearing claim rests on — so a disagreement can be settled against the source rather than against us. Where the simulator is the thing making the claim, what it models and what it does not is written down separately.
