From the work I've seen Velocity do, you should now receive updates to judge scores in the top right of the website next to your username whenever the score (e.g. the [9.5/10]) is updated in the batch for a song, or whenever the status (e.g. from unjudged to accepted or conditional queue, etc.) of a song is updated.

It will be in the same location as notifications for when you receive a DM, a thumbs up or thumbs down on your profile, a profile comment, etc.

And yes, as far as I'm still aware, the status quo on time for conditional queue fixes is still 4 weeks. Only time I think it's been circumvented is when it's needed for immediate release to cover a spot in a tournament or similar situation.

btw about private files, i don't want to waste my time stepping a file that's already been stepped for ffr, which is why i always check the batch before starting on a file. wouldn't this be a problem?

There's never a guarantee that the same file made by another author will get in, and the submission rules regarding same-song submissions that are around the same difficulty have pretty much been abolished. Also, I'm pretty sure that private batches will only be used in situations where displaying those submissions would affect something like a tournament. It's not going to be a regular practice to privatize open batches.
