This rollup merges the thin 0.5.4 Hotfix 1-2, the 0.5.4d migration patch and the 0.5.4d Oath Rune Hotfix into one navigable page.
The headline problems were Merchant Stash item loss, Liquid Verisium stack purchase, Expedition Atlas +1 area level, Double or Nothing UI, Ritual/Breach migration and the Oath Rune invincible monster.
Each sub-patch keeps its own timeline node; they are never collapsed into a single vague 'hotfix' line.

Why is there no separate page for each Hotfix?
Thin single-line Hotfixes are merged into this rollup to avoid thin index pages.
Each sub-patch still keeps its own node in the timeline and its own problem-to-fix entry.
Is the Oath Rune bug fixed?
Yes, by the 0.5.4d Hotfix, which is separate from the 0.5.4d migration notes.
Expedition pages must cite both to be considered verified.
