What each status means
Source-listed means the code appears in the linked public reference. It does not establish that CodeHub has redeemed the code or that every account remains eligible. At launch, all available code records use this status.
Game-tested is reserved for a recorded successful redemption with the game, date, relevant platform or server and observed reward. There are no CodeHub game-tested claims in the launch dataset.
Reported expired means a linked source lists the code as unavailable. The archive retains its reward and source context. An unknown expiry date stays unknown.
Our source-review process
- Start with the developer’s official announcement channels and redemption instructions.
- Compare public code references; prefer agreement between independent sources when no official code post is accessible.
- Exclude contradictory records or explain the uncertainty. Never infer that an old code works simply because it was copied into a new article.
- Record the exact code text, reported reward, source URLs and actual review date in the game’s data file.
- When an actual redemption test is performed, record it separately from the source review.
A daily build is not a daily test
The technical publishing pipeline can rebuild the site once a day. That keeps generated headings and schedules current, but does not prove that a person reviewed every code. Only an editorial review or recorded test changes its corresponding date. Missing a day leaves the previous date visible.
Sources have different roles
Official help pages support account and redemption instructions. Publisher announcements support event timestamps. Editorial lists can support a source-listed code record. A HoYoLAB community creator is not automatically an official publisher account, and a community probability model is not an official guarantee table.
Corrections and archives
Reports are leads for review, not automatic truth. Provide the game, code, server, date and exact response; remove personal information from evidence. Expired records remain in a separate archive so older search results are understandable.
