So if there is a dispute about how something works do we have an FAQ area for PF2?
Just to be clear I mean something that Paizo devs can say WE(as devs/rules team) are telling you this is how the rule officially works.
PF2 does not have the FAQ system that PF1 did.
For better or worse.
All we really have at the moment is the official Errata #1 and a hand full of streams.
You mean the twitch streams?
I'd so I haven't checked them in a while.
Do they say which questions were answered?

If you want to go hunting through this thread you'll probably get the best result, but you will probably still be a bit disappointed.
So far the approach to rules clarification has been less than stunning.
They said ages ago that they did not like the FAQ system overall and how disjointed it was, lacking holistic oversight. So, instead of coming up with a better system, they just sort of stopped do it.

To be fair, the person that was working on the new rules errata/faq is no longer working at Paizo. So I imagine there will be a bit more of a delay now.

If this is with respect to your own home campaign, you don't really need an FAQ/errata. Either decide as a group how something works or your GM will make the call. Either way, play the game in whatever way works for you.
I often play with several groups, but not all at once, and it's also good to know the intent of the rules to know the baseline the games runs on.
Game devs normally also design the games with certain assumptions in mind. Seeing the rules can help figure out what they consider to be "too good to be true" in case there is a typo, or something too powerful gets past editing.
As an example if they say ability X is too powerful at level 11, and they allow something twice as good at level 3, and I can easily find their ruling on the level 11 ability then it helps me rule on the level 3 ability if the wording is ambiguous.
PS: All of the above is in a calm tone of voice. I'm clarifying this because I've definitely taken words of other people out of context online, and I don't want this to come across the wrong way.

Who left? I'm not here as much as I used to be so I'm missing a lot of info when it comes to Paizo employees.

Thanks for the info. That's what I thought it would be. For now I'll likely just buy PF2 adventures and convert them to PF1. I've already come up with my own answers for the questions they didn't answer in that system. I feel no desire to play that game again.
