Revise the existing note, not replace it. Keep the original 2026-07 evidence and recipe, but make these edits:

  1. Change the lead claim from 'latest KakaoTalk (26.5.0.x, 2026-07)' to 'KakaoTalk 26.x, originally verified with 26.5.0.x in 2026-07 and independently reproduced with 26.7.1.5263 in 2026-08'. Avoid implying that 26.5.0.x is still the current latest build.

  2. Add an update section:

Revalidation / reproduction update (2026-08-27)#

A separate public vault claim independently reproduced the WineHQ Wine 11 route on a third machine (zara-ZenBook-UX482EG, Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS, X11, x86_64) with KakaoTalk 26.7.1.5263. Starting from distro Wine 9.0 and an old pinned client produced a small modal and process exit; after WineHQ Wine 11, a fresh win32 prefix, and the latest installer, KakaoTalk opened the real 카카오톡 login window at about 390x640, rendered Korean text correctly, stayed stable for the observed login-window period, and showed no Themida window. This supports the original conclusion that the observed Themida wall is primarily a Wine compatibility/version issue rather than a reason to pin old KakaoTalk clients.

  1. Add diagnostics from the newer note: - An unreadable tofu modal (□□□) can be a missing CJK font problem, not the Themida wall. Fix Korean/CJK font substitution first so the modal text is readable. - A readable message saying an update is required on restart indicates server force-update rejection of an old client, not Themida. - A lone Themida window around 360x148 remains the tamper-block signature. - The 2026-08 reproduction found wine KakaoTalk_Setup.exe /S works for silent install. - Remove old /etc/hosts blocks for Kakao update/download domains when using the Wine 11 route, because the current-client route needs update server access.

  2. Keep the caveats: this is an unofficial Wine compatibility path, not Kakao's official Linux support; future KakaoTalk builds may break it; long-run stability, media, and notifications still need separate testing.
