Temple rooms unreachable / disconnected

Silent auto-Destabilisation
0.4.0e removed automatic Destabilisation entirely; rooms now warn first.
'Recently Shapeshifted' crit not proccing
0.4.0i fixed the crit condition so it triggers reliably after leaving a form.
Talisman weapon requirement mis-check
0.4.0i corrected client validation of Talisman requirements before transform affixes.
Console crashes on form swap
0.4.0i resolved several Xbox/PS5 crashes during Shapeshift swaps.
Early Unique / Skill bugs

Legacy video audit
Launch-week Temple video showing auto-Destabilisation
Use post-0.4.0e Temple guides; rooms warn before destabilising.
Launch-week Druid video with broken crits
Crit condition works post-0.4.0i; re-benchmark DPS.
Pre-0.4.0i console crash footage
Form swaps are stable on console after 0.4.0i.
Community evidence
Temple disconnected and my Bear crits never proc — unplayable.
After the i patch the Druid feels fine and console stopped crashing.
