Update 5.9 confirms three Raid waves and unspecified fixes

Keep the two official statements separate from details the developer did not publish.
Official
A few bugs were fixed
At least some fixes shipped, but the description does not itemize them. No control, route, reward, or boss issue should be marked fixed from that phrase alone.
Older advice boundary
How three waves change older Raid guidance
Recorded 5.9 rule
Do not stop after one wave
Follow every live transition and wait for a visible completion or result before recording one full Raid.
OpenRecheck
Do not copy an old enemy order
Older footage can identify an encounter, but only the current prompts can establish what happens in each wave.
OpenBoundary
Three waves do not prove three reward rolls
Update 5.9 changes the structure, not the published reward-check count. No current source confirms a reward or Snake roll after each wave.
Historical model
Keep Snake at one modeled completion
The archived Update 5.5 wording was per completed Snake Raid. Count no more than one modeled attempt after a full current completion.
OpenCurrent Raid checklist
Follow the live run from preparation to result
Before
Stabilize the colony
Keep a Worker Food route functioning, leave the Queen and main access route reachable, and use Majors or Drones for the fighting role.
Start
Use the live entrance and prompt
No permanent start location, party rule, or cooldown is published in the official description.
Waves
Follow all three current waves
Use current targets, orders, and any visible formation action; do not substitute a key or sequence from older footage.
Result
Record only what the game shows
Wait for a completion or result, then preserve the version and date. One outcome does not create a guaranteed reward table.
