CachyOS's AUR overlay picked up a system-electron variant of heroic-games-launcher from one of Heroic's own maintainers, alongside a fix for ignored AUR packages leaking into update lists and a kdump path fix for Limine users on limine-mkinitcpio-hook 1.37.

CommandMC, a Heroic maintainer, added a system-electron build of heroic-games-launcher to cachyos-aur-derived [1][2], saying the packaging "needs a few patches right now to work correctly" and that they "should be included in the next version of Heroic though." The change landed as a copy of the maintainer's personal PKGBUILD, so users should expect upstream fixes to arrive later rather than in this revision.

cachy-update shipped v4.2.3 with a fix that forces the C locale when parsing AUR helper output [3][4]. AUR helpers translate the `[ignored]` marker, so the existing `grep -vw "\[ignored\]$"` filter never matched on non-English locales and ignored AUR packages were listed as pending updates; forcing the C locale keeps the marker untranslated so the filter works. The same release train merged main from Antiz96's fork [5].

On the kdump side, cachyos-kdump-tools now handles limine-mkinitcpio-hook >= 1.37 deploy filenames [6]. limine-mkinitcpio writes `/boot/<machine-id>/<pkgbase>/vmlinuz` and the initramfs without the `-<pkgbase>` suffix, which made the kdump load path check fail on Limine systems with "vmlinuz for current kernel not found"; the limine branch now uses the deployed names.

Routine packaging across the remaining desks: teams-for-linux moved to 2.21.0 [7], brave-bin and brave-origin-bin both moved to 1.95.101 [8][9], and scx-scheds-git had its version and tag bumped in copr-linux-cachyos [10]. Nothing here changes user-facing behavior beyond the version numbers.
