If I remember correctly the creator said a couple months ago that they are about half way done with the game so we can probably expect about 8 more update give or take 1-2 depending on the size of future updates
for me i just had to got to the library while she was there and it auto started the confrontation. also i'm pretty sure she has to be alone. hopefully it works out the same for you
updates take a while 6+ months in between updates is not uncommon if you want to be updated you can join the discord/patreon or you can just throw it in one of your collections and check the page every now and again
