Open your eyeholes, here comes a knowledge bomb
Featherine is never implied to be Hanyuu. She is just a cheeky reference to her.
Bern isn't Rika. She is Bernkastel from Higurashi, who came from Rika but was already a separate entity tied to Rika by the time Higurashi starts. The Rika we know never became Bernkastel, she just spawned her accidentally long before Onikakushi.
And EP6 makes it very clear that Higurashi wasn't a "game" in the Umineko sense, with witches arguing about it in the meta or anything. Lambda calls it a "game" to compare it with Beato's gameboard, but its nature is very different.
Higurashi took place in real fragments, not any sort of constantly rewinding gameboard like Umineko. Hanyuu only calls it a gameboard in Matsuribayashi as a metaphor, it's not literally one.
Lambda simply granted Takano the power of certainly, and fucked off to do other things in the meantime, which is a huge metaphor for her willpower anyway. She didn't go and talk to her directly or anything like that. The story in Tsubasa is metaphorical, just like the scene where Takano meets Hanyuu after arriving to the village for the first time. It's meta shit.
Lambda mentions that Bern's master "created the game herself but abandoned it halfway through and left the thinking to her piece". She "created a broken game with no goal where the beginning and ending overlap like a donut". And "she was trying to get her piece to create a goal and fix the logic error".
The master she is referring to is Hanyuu. She created the game because she used her power to challenge fate and try to save Rika. She didn't literally create the world, she just played a game against the certain fate promised by Lambda. She and Rika were the only players in the fifth dimension. Their opponent was Takano, the human piece responsible for Rika's death.
Lambda compares Hanyuu's broken game to a logic error (it wasn't literally one, since there was no game master or a gameboard or any sort of "writing" on her part. These were all real fragments that truly existed). This is because Hanyuu "created the game" by choosing to save Rika and then abandoned it, losing sight of her goal, when she realized it was too hard to win.
The game remained broken and with no purpose, other than Hanyuu spending time with Rika forever while telling her to give up on winning. That's what Lambda compared to a logic error. The game had no goal because Hanyuu lost interest in saving Rika and gave up.
Rika did all the thinking for herself (with the help of her other self in the fifth dimension, who merged with her between deaths). She managed to regain her will to fight, find a winning condition and achieve victory by creating miracle. This fixed the broken, purposeless game Hanyuu had created.
Then Lambda came back and was disappointed with Takano's failure, but she got a new witch girlfriend out of the deal and is stalking her to this day.
Featherine is a creator level witch. She has nothing to do with Hanyuu just like Lambda isn't literally Takano despite the references. Hell, Hanyuu isn't even a purely meta being. She can go between fragment and have Rika possess her alternate selves, but she is tied to Hinamizawa. She isn't even a voyager, let alone a creator.
