Anyone else see this update, or have a log of what was done?

    You're probably referring to a 'Google Play system update', at least
that's the notification I got on the 11th.
    Note the spelling/casing. This is a "system update", distributed via
the Google Play framework. It's not an update to or in the 'Play Store'
*app*.

Indeed. I'd originally typed "Android 13 (MIUI14) OS"- the "OS" emphasising that it was a system update, but I'd deleted that before posting!

   When tapping the notification, I got a 'Your Android has new features'
page with a '( -> Show me )' button, which lets you step through pages
describing the new 'features'. I note the list at the end, which is:
 Edit photos with AI
Add QR & barcode passes
Auto-save Gmail passes
React with effects (for the Messages app)
Stay safe in real time
    I don't know of a way to revisit these feature descriptions after
you've closed ('( V Done )') the above mentioned dialog.

Thanks for that info. That's what I'd found, but I'd closed the dialogue after finding none of the updates of interest, so as you've pointed out there was no way of getting back that 5-point list.
I have the Muntashirakon App Manager, and tried to find out what apps had an update yesterday. I found Google Play Services, and with the info you provided found that the Gmail update date was 11 October. Messages were updated 2 October, but I'm fairly certain that was a separate update I did early last week. Nothing I tried to search on (eg "Personal safety") seemed to match the "Stay safe in real time" update. Unfortunately I couldn't find a way to use the app manager to search for a date. There are far too many apps to just scroll through the whole list to find anything with yesterday's date.
