An interesting bug?

Well I sure hope so haha. Consider this game:



As shown, I simply lose after the Bishop promo. In the actual game in real time, I promoted to a Knight (which might very have been losing as well--seems Stockfish has it a draw on a King, but this is irrelevant), and ended up winning the game. Opponent said in chat a Bishop won, which I knew not to be true (see game). He asked me to show him, so on the analysis board I made the Bishop promo, played it out (as shown), and then clicked to make it the mainline so as to copy/paste the game in message for him to see. The game now reads as an actual loss, complete with corresponding loss of points. It shows this in both profiles as such, and if you follow the games played before and after this one, the points are "updated" to reflect this new reality lol. Anyhow, seems an odd thing to be able to change an outcome after the fact and the actual thing that happened. A less scrupulous person might take full advantage of this :) Is this a bug overlooked?
I think you just confused the games. This is the game you actually mean and it's unchanged: lichess.org/pN2UD4vd

That would be a very funny bug if true but game analyses are completely separate from the actual game. I'm pretty sure there's no way this could possibly happen. And if anything, at most it would only change the moves. There's no mechanism that looks at games and updates ratings or something if the result changed.
Ill be damned, youre right. 2 different games! Similar enough (for me anyhow) to confuse one for the other. Anyhow, moving on. Nothing to see here, Chicken Little lol.
