Timer Bug on Council of Blood

With the newest version of DBM that was released today, I began experiencing an issue with the timers for Council of Blood as you can see https://clips.twitch.tv/RelatedFitRadicchioFeelsBadMan-SWD4WX6MgP0HSnym here. Timers begin for mechanics that aren't even supposed to happen at this point in the fight (Stavros and Niklaus both alive but shows a timer for Castellan Cadre), as well as desyncing the timers for every other mechanic in the fight. I was able to reinstall the previous version of the add-on for it to fix.
There is a blizzard bug where sometimes on phase change the event for the phase change doesn't happen, when this happens it doesn't just bug DBM it actualy bugs fight itself. timers that are supposed to restart do not.
DBM is coded to always assume the fight works correctly so sometimes when the timers fail to restart do to the blizz bug, the dbm timers will be wrong, because I just didn't feel like coding special rules for a blizz bug I reported and hoped they'd fix (they didn't as far as know).
But as QartemisT says, there haven't been any changes to that fight between .18 and .19. you probably just consistently triggered blizzards bug a few pulls, and then stopped triggering it by pure coincidence when you rolled back.
btw to identify if bug occured, check the logs for the living bosses (after one dies) gaining "Infused" or "Empowered". if either of these buffs fail to apply, it's a bugged pull and instead of boss resetting timers on phase change, they continue using the previous phases timers with exception that they still begin casting new ability too so they are half phased so to speak. The boss would basically be using phase 1 timers in phase 2 except for the phase 2 ability. It's really stupid bug.
OH, you're using the pho weak aura. that might break timers on council and generals because it hasn't been updated since 2019 and doesn't support all the addtime/remove time methods.
that weak aura is pretty cool but it's abandoned and I made changes to internal timer code since that auras last update.
For good measure I made phase change code a little more robust to try and prevent situations it maybe got increased twice at same time though.
Version released today? Can you explain this.
As 9.0.19 was released 20 days ago, so unless you can point us a specific version number that would be useful.
Thanks.
Yes, I updated my add-on through Curseforge today and have been using that to update my add-ons for over a month multiple times a week, I thought the newest version came out today. It is version 9.0.19. Version 9.0.18 has the appropriate timers with no errors.
There have only been two changes between 9.0.18 and 9.0.19, neither of which have even touched timers at all. Are you completely sure 9.0.18 is working properly?
Across my guild's first 50 pulls of the boss, there were no timer issues using 9.0.18 but after updating today, multiple pulls had issues with the timers not being correct before I reverted to the previous version and no longer had those timer issues. You can see from the clip I linked above, or the vod https://www.twitch.tv/videos/915659957?t=3h3m19s here that for two or three pulls, the timers get messed up when we have a Dark Recital and kill Baroness Frieda during it. That seems to be what is causing it, but I'm not certain.
