"At the end of combat" first (still in combat), then "after combat" (no longer in combat).

Question on the above rulings,
Psyche!´s original wording was "at the end of a combat" and was considered to be played "after combat"/outside of combat (references in the linked rulings below),
is this to be taken as a ruling that "at the end of combat" no longer means "after combat"?

But Psyche text and rules are changes after LSJ time,and Psyche is played during end of round now

The question isn’t about Psyche! but about the ruling Ankha gave for the meaning and timing of the phrasing “at the end of combat”.

LSJ ruled that “at the end of combat” (that was used in the original text of Psyche!) meant and had its timing “after combat”/outside of combat which the below isn’t aligned with.

Found another ruling from LSJ where he explicitly states the timing window of Psyche! (old wording: at the end of a combat) and Jalal Sayad (old wording: after completing combat) are the same.

Psyche! has been ruled to be played after combat, as stated many times
already, yes.
After combat has the same timing as after combat, yes.

Ankha can you please confirm that your ruling in this thread changes the timing of "at the end of combat" and "after combat" to be two different once and overrules previous rulings.

"At the end of combat" can mean different things, for instance it can happen during combat ( EMP vs Heaven's Gate ):

Not sure but the linked ruling seems to be incorrect, it doesnt point to anything related to Heaven´s Gate but about EMP vs Left for Dead where again "at end of combat" on the text of EMP is ruled to happen after combat and thereby cannot be saved by Left for Dead.

Good point.
I was thinking that the EMP's effect was just "during strike resolution".
But, yes, it is "at the end of combat".

So you could play LfD.
But then LfD would end combat (card text), and the EMP would be burned (card text).

I think the ruling you are referring to is the below which states Heaven´s Gate cannot save the EMP as per the linked ruling which points to the above ruling...making it the same conclusion that "at the end of combat" happens after combat.

No.

When LSJ then continues in the same thread stating one can play multiple Heaven´s Gate and at the end EMP burns to its own card text doesn´t make logical sense (probably he didnt check the text of Heaven´s Gate)

You could play a second Heaven's Gate. But then the EMP would still burn when
combat ends. And a third and a fourth. Eventually when you stop playing Heaven's
Gates, the EMP burns.
