Does first_seen_at mean a hero was released?
No. It is our first API observation. Only an official announcement can establish a release or announcement date.
Why is Baba listed here but missing from the directory?
An official Steam announcement confirms Baba is available. This API snapshot still sets in_development to true. We keep the release news and exclude the dossier and quiz candidate until that conflicting status is reviewed.
