37#prestige resets all-time stats maybe?#

Description

We've noticed something unusual with our prestige system — it looks like it might be clearing out the all-time stats when a user completes a prestige reset. This is a bit of a head-scratcher because players work incredibly hard to build those numbers up, and they should absolutely carry that achievement forward even when they reset their active progress.

We need to dig into what's happening here and make sure that prestige resets work the way they're supposed to: resetting the active progression (level, resources, unlocks, etc.) while keeping the all-time statistics intact as a permanent record of everything the player has accomplished.

This one matters because it's about respecting player effort and progression. 🌟

Acceptance Criteria

Identify the issue: Trace through the prestige reset logic and confirm whether all-time stats are actually being reset (or cleared)

Document current behavior: Note which specific stats are affected (total earned, milestones reached, etc.)

Implement the fix: Ensure prestige resets only clear active progression data, while all-time statistics remain untouched

Test thoroughly:

Run a prestige reset on a test account

Verify all-time stats are preserved and accurate after reset

Confirm that active stats have been properly reset

Update documentation (if needed): Any relevant guides should clarify what persists through a prestige reset

Notes

If there are any edge cases with this (like specific stat types that should reset, or migration concerns), let's flag those clearly so we can handle them thoughtfully.
