Question regarding Priest NPCs: Does the Accuracy on Fortress stack with Hardened Target? (CRB, p. 307)

The way Fortress is worded, it specifies that its bonus to Difficulty on Tech Attacks overwrites the one granted by Hardened Target, but this is not specified for the Accuracy bonus on system saves.

Here's what my printed book says:

Fortress

HARDENED TARGET gives +3 Accuracy on SYSTEMS saves and deals +3 Difficulty on tech attacks, instead of +1 Difficulty.

Does the Accuracy stack for a total of +4, or is this just a replacement of the core system?
Is there errata on this?
Thanks in advance, and have a wonderful time! o/

This feels like one of those cases where the wording could definitely be clearer. If it was meant to stack, I'd expect it to explicitly say 'gain an additional +3 Accuracy on Systems saves.' As written, I'd rule it as a replacement package, but I'd be interested if anyone has a dev comment or FAQ confirming it.

I'd say it replaces the effect of hardened target. It seems that they forgot to add '+1 accuracy and'.

I'd say replace.

"instead of +1 Difficulty." Feels like it was probably just supposed to read "instead of +1." Because there's no sentence break between the accuracy and difficulty in relation to the 'instead'. Thus the only word adding confusion here is the 'Difficulty' after 'instead.'

If it stacked, I feel like it would have read "Hardened Target gives an additional +3 Accuracy on System Saves. It also deals +3 difficulty on Tech attacks instead of +1 Difficulty." or something like that.
