## What changed and why
### Runestone formula (`prestige.ts`)
- Swapped `sqrt` for `cbrt` — much stronger diminishing returns for large gold values
- Added base cap of **200** (→ ~1,125 max with all upgrades at 5.625× multiplier)
- Prevents extended AFK sessions from producing runestone windfalls that allow immediate upgrade purchasing and rapid prestige chaining
### Prestige threshold formula (`prestige.ts`)
- Old: `1,000,000 × 5^n` — exponential, grows impossibly fast, prestige 10+ takes years
- New: `1,000,000 × (n+1)²` — polynomial, peaks at ~1 day/run around P8–10, then gets *easier* as the production multiplier overtakes it
- Removed `thresholdScaleFactor` constant (no longer needed)
### Production multiplier (`prestige.ts`)
- Old: `1.15^n`
- New: `1.25^n` — compounds faster, ensures the polynomial threshold eventually gets easy in the late game
### Boss prestige requirements (`bosses.ts`)
- Rescaled proportionally from 0–88 range to 0–20 range
- The Absolute One now requires prestige **20** (was 88), making transcendence reachable in a few weeks of idle play
### Echo formula (`transcendence.ts`)
- Constant changed from 853 → **224**
- At the target prestige of 20: `floor(224 / sqrt(20)) = 50 echoes` per transcendence (no meta upgrades)
- With all echo_meta upgrades (3.75× total): up to **187 echoes** per transcendence
### Transcendence upgrade costs (`transcendenceUpgrades.ts`)
- Old total: **866 echoes** → New total: **400 echoes** (roughly halved across all categories)
- Apotheosis still requires **all 15 upgrades** purchased
### Balance fixes (closes#141, #142, #143, #144, #145)
- Equipment: `philosophers_stone` click multiplier 2.25→2.5, `crystal_shard` 1.55→1.65 (#144)
- Recipes: added `primal_omega_lens` cross-zone click_power recipe at 1.38× (#142)
- Adventurers: `celestial_guard` base cost adjusted to smooth tier 14→15→16 cost curve (#145)
### Quest reward rebalancing (closes#136, #137)
- Shadow Marshes: buffed `shadow_mere`, `witch_coven`, `plague_ruins` rewards to match combat requirements (#136)
- Astral Void: added gold to `void_rift`, increased rewards across all Astral Void quests (#137)
### Boss reward additions (closes#138, #139, #140)
- Assigned 9 unassigned adventurer-specific upgrades to Crystalline Spire through Eternal Throne bosses that had empty `upgradeRewards` arrays (#140)
### Combat power documentation (closes#153)
- Expanded JSDoc on `computePartyCombatPower` to clarify companion `bossDamage` multiplier behaviour
### Effective adventurer stats (closes#154)
- Added `computeEffectiveAdventurerStats` to `tick.ts` and updated `AdventurerCard` to display effective post-multiplier stats
### Adventurer upgrade timing (closes#158)
- Audited every adventurer-specific upgrade reward — upgrades now land within the same progression window where that adventurer tier is still a meaningful contributor
### Sync and save fixes (closes#147, #148, #151)
- Fixed sync new content count to report only genuinely changed items (#147)
- Fixed signature mismatch after first auto-boss completion (#148)
- Added auto-buy cap (100) on non-max-tier adventurers (#151)
### Auto-adventurer persistence (closes#156)
- Auto-buy preference now preserved across prestige resets
### Broken CDN image (closes#159)
- Uploaded missing `auto_adventurer.jpg` to CDN
### Codex unlock hints (closes#146)
- Locked codex entries now display a hint generated from `sourceType` and `sourceId`
### Exploration bug fixes (closes#160, #161)
- Fixed auto-save race condition discarding exploration materials collected mid-tick (#160)
- Fixed exploration areas failing to unlock when zone was unlocked via boss kill or quest completion (#161)
### Concurrent prestige fix (closes#162)
- Added optimistic locking via `updatedAt` — concurrent prestige requests return 409
### Prestige UX (closes#163)
- Added `reloadSilent` to game context — no loading screen flash after prestige
### Balance adjustments (closes#164, #165, #166, #167)
- Reduced `shadow_mere` CP requirement 5,000,000 → 2,000,000 (#164)
- Buffed crystal drops from Shadow Marshes bosses and quests (#165)
- Increased runestone yield from 10 → 15 per prestige level (#166)
- Daily challenge set always includes a clicks challenge (#167)
### Progression QoL (closes#168, #169)
- Added `computeProjectedRunestones()` and persistent `+N On Prestige` resource bar row (#168)
- Added `enablePrestigeAnnouncements` setting per player (#169)
---
## Comprehensive balance audit (closes#187, #191, #192, #193, #194, #195, #196, #197, #198)
### Crystal economy fixes
- Zeroed crystal rewards for all Zone 7+ boss drops (Celestial Reaches onwards) — crystals are an early/mid-game currency and should not flow freely into the endgame (#187)
- Zeroed crystal rewards for all Zone 9+ quest rewards (Infernal Court onwards) — same rationale (#191)
### Achievement additions and fixes
- Added quest milestone achievements at 75 quests (10,000 crystals) and 100 quests (15,000 crystals)
- Added boss milestone achievement at 50 bosses (15,000 crystals)
- Added prestige milestone achievements at P50, P100, P150, P200 — rewarding **runestones** rather than crystals to match the late-game economy
- Added gold milestone achievements through 1e90 gold earned
- Fixed `quest_eternal` condition from 122 → **112** (actual quest count) — was permanently impossible (#197)
- Fixed `fully_equipped` condition from 65 → **78** (actual equipment count after new items) (#197)
- Fixed `devourer_slayer` description to remove incorrect zone reference
### Upgrade balance
- Fixed Essence Guild multiplier 1.5× → **2×** — was identical to the cheaper Merchant Alliance for 5× the cost (#194)
- Raised Void Ascendancy crystal cost 10M → **50M** — was trivially cheap compared to the parallel Celestial Mandate upgrade (100B essence + 50T gold) (#195)
- Fixed Sunken Temple quest rewards (gold 2M → 60M, essence 1,500 → 25,000, crystals 75 → 400) — was rewarding less than its easier prerequisite Witch Coven (#193)
### Equipment balance
- Buffed Eternal Prism stats to click 5×, combat **3×**, gold **2.5×** — was only marginally better than the free Eternity Stone boss drop for 100M crystals (#196)
### Missing content
- Created **13 missing equipment items** for Zones 15–18 (primordial_chaos through the_absolute) that were referenced by late-game boss `equipmentRewards` arrays but never existed in `equipment.ts` (#198):
- `chaos_mantle`, `titan_core` (Primordial Chaos)
- `expanse_blade`, `void_armour_mk2` (Infinite Expanse)
- `cosmos_blade`, `reality_plate` (Reality Forge)
- `maelstrom_edge`, `cosmic_plate` (Cosmic Maelstrom)
- `primeval_blade`, `ancient_aegis` (Primeval Sanctum)
- `absolute_blade`, `eternity_plate`, `omniversal_core` (The Absolute)
- Stats scale from combat 14× / gold 9× (Zone 15) up to combat 28× / gold 20× for the final boss drops
### Type system
- Extended `AchievementReward` type to support `runestones` field
- Updated tick engine achievement processing to award both crystals and runestones
---
## Target progression timeline (optimal play, ~16h/day idle)
- First cycle to P20: ~375h (~3.3 weeks)
- Each subsequent cycle gets faster as echo upgrades boost income/combat/threshold

Adds a new debug panel button that injects any adventurers, quests,
bosses, equipment, upgrades, achievements, zones, and exploration areas
that exist in the current game data but are missing from an existing
player save (e.g. content added after the save was first created).
## Summary
Comprehensive balance pass addressing 20 tickets (#103–#122) plus one audit-discovered fix (#123), ensuring no player soft-locks and aligning all content counts with achievements and progression milestones.
### Changes
- **Equipment** (#103–#111): Differentiated all stat pairs so every piece has a unique bonus combination; added missing stats to `eternal_flame` and increased `eternal_prism` multiplier to justify cost tier
- **Recipes** (#112–#115): Added 4 cross-zone crafting recipes requiring materials from multiple zones to incentivise exploration breadth
- **Achievements** (#116–#118): Aligned `fully_equipped` (40→65), `quest_eternal` (72→95), and `boss_eternal` (60→72) thresholds with actual content counts; updated `devourer_slayer` description
- **Quest CP scaling** (#120–#122): Verified and corrected combat power requirements across all zones to follow consistent 4×/4× progression pattern
- **Zone file ordering** (#123): Swapped Frozen Peaks and Shadow Marshes quest sections so file order matches the actual unlock chain (no gameplay change)

## Summary
`void_walker` adventurers (130K combat power each) were locked behind `fire_temple`, which requires 4.8B combat power. The best adventurer available before completing that quest was `arcane_scholar` at 45K CP each — meaning players needed ~107K arcane scholars to break through, versus ~37K if they had void walkers. Classic chicken-and-egg wall.
## Changes
- Moved `void_walker` adventurer reward from `fire_temple` to `lava_flows` (the entry quest to Volcanic Depths, no CP requirement)
- Added 40M gold reward to `fire_temple` to replace the removed adventurer unlock
Players now unlock `void_walker` as soon as they enter the zone, giving them the combat power boost before they need to grind toward the temple.

## Summary
Fixes#87. When a quest failed, the tick loop detected the failure and turned auto-quest off so the "player could reassess". This meant every quest failure required the player to manually re-enable the toggle.
## Root Cause
The tick applies quest failure by resetting the quest to `status: "available"` with `lastFailedAt` set. Auto-quest picks up `available` quests automatically — so turning off auto-quest on failure was entirely unnecessary, it just broke the loop.
## Fix
Remove the auto-quest-off-on-failure block entirely. The quest returns to `available` immediately after failure, so auto-quest naturally retries on the next tick. Players can still disable it manually if they want to stop.

## Summary
Fixes#86. When the client state is ahead of the server save, the auto-boss tick would receive a "Boss is not currently available" error from the API. This error was already acknowledged as an expected race condition and suppressed from telemetry — but it was still setting the error state and turning auto-boss off.
## Root Cause
The `catch` handler treated all errors identically: set `autoBossError`, turn off `autoBoss`. The race-condition case should instead silently skip so the next tick can retry naturally.
## Fix
When the error is `"Boss is not currently available"`, return early from the `catch` handler. The `finally` block still runs, resetting `isAutoBossingReference.current = false`, so the next tick retries cleanly.

## Summary
Fixes#85. Quest combat power requirements for Shadow Marshes, Volcanic Depths, and Astral Void were all drastically too low, breaking the zone progression curve.
### Root Cause
All three zones appear to have had their `combatPowerRequired` values entered at the wrong magnitude. Shadow Marshes was using K values where M was intended; Volcanic Depths and Astral Void were similarly off, resulting in later zones being trivially easier than earlier ones.
### Changes
| Zone | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Shadow Marshes | 5K / 20K / 80K / 300K | 5M / 20M / 80M / 300M |
| Volcanic Depths | 2M / 8M / 30M / 120M | 1.2B / 4.8B / 18B / 72B |
| Astral Void | 50M / 200M / 800M / 3B | 300B / 1.2T / 4.8T / 18T |
### Progression
All values now maintain a consistent ~×4 multiplier within each zone and ~×4 jump between zones, matching the established pattern from Verdant Vale through Frozen Peaks.

## Summary
Closes#62
Adds five **Essence Infusion** upgrades (I–V) to give essence an ongoing meaningful use deep into a prestige run, when gold upgrades are all purchased and essence reserves are in the trillions with nowhere to go:
| Upgrade | Cost | Multiplier |
|---|---|---|
| Essence Infusion I | 1T essence | ×2 global |
| Essence Infusion II | 5T essence | ×2 global |
| Essence Infusion III | 25T essence | ×2 global |
| Essence Infusion IV | 100T essence | ×3 global |
| Essence Infusion V | 500T essence | ×5 global |
All five start `unlocked: true` (no prerequisite boss or quest required) and cost zero gold and zero crystals — they are purely essence sinks. Combined, they provide a ×120 global income multiplier for players willing to pour their essence reserves into the guild. The About panel's Upgrades section is also updated to inform players these exist.

## Summary
- Adds a `getCurrentProgress` helper that mirrors the tick engine's achievement-checking logic to compute the player's current progress for each condition type
- Locked achievement cards now display a `<progress>` bar and a numeric `{current} / {target}` label so players can see exactly how close they are to each achievement
- Unlocked achievements are unaffected — no progress bar shown once earned
## Test plan
- [ ] Verify locked achievement cards display a progress bar and numeric label
- [ ] Verify the progress values match what the tick engine uses for unlock checking
- [ ] Verify unlocked achievement cards show no progress bar
- [ ] Confirm lint, build, and tests all pass

## Summary
- Adds a `🗡️ Affects: {Name}` label to upgrade cards that target a specific adventurer
- Resolves player confusion caused by class-based language (e.g. "doubles cleric output") without specifying which adventurer tiers count as that class
- Label appears in all three card states: available, purchased, and locked
## Test plan
- [ ] Verify adventurer-targeted upgrade cards display the correct adventurer name
- [ ] Verify global, click, boss, and prestige upgrade cards show no affects label

## Summary
Two improvements to the equipment system in one PR:
### Balance fixes (closes#54)
Full equipment audit revealed 9 items with duplicated stats, regressions, or purchasable items weaker than free boss drops:
| Item | Change | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Void Conduit | 4x → 7x combat | 100M essence sink was equal to a zone-6 boss drop |
| Void Edge | 2.75x → 3.25x combat | Purchasable was weaker than free Celestial Blade (3x) |
| Astral Robe | 2.25x → 2.75x gold | Boss drop was weaker than purchasable Titan's Aegis (2.5x) |
| Philosopher's Stone | 2x → 2.25x click | Duplicated Frost Crystal's click multiplier |
| Eternal Flame | 1.15x → 1.25x gold | Gold regressed vs Philosopher's Stone (1.25x) |
| Celestial Focus | 2.5x → 3x click | 20M essence sink was weaker than free Angel's Halo (2.75x click + 1.3x gold) |
| Abyssal Tome | 3x → 3.75x gold | 50M essence sink was equal to free Heaven's Mantle (3x) |
| Crystal Matrix | 4x → 4.75x gold | 20M crystal sink was equal to free Sinslayer Aegis (4x) |
| Infernal Gem | 3.5x → 4x click | 5M crystal sink was identical to free Prism Eye |
### Equipment sorting (closes#55)
Equipment cards within each slot now render in ascending order of combined bonus power — the sum of all multiplier bonuses — so stronger items always appear further down the list. Hybrid items such as Volcanic Plate sort correctly without needing a per-slot primary stat.
## Test plan
- [ ] All purchasable weapons/armour/trinkets now exceed the stats of the highest free boss drop at their tier
- [ ] No duplicate stat values between adjacent items in the same progression track
- [ ] Equipment cards within each slot render weakest → strongest
- [ ] Hybrid multi-stat items sort sensibly alongside single-stat items
- [ ] Full pipeline green (lint + build + tests at 100% coverage)

## Summary
- Exploration timers showed more time than the area's stated duration when the server clock was ahead of the client's
- The timer was derived from `startedAt = endsAt - durationMs`, then computed as `durationSeconds - (clientNow - startedAt) / 1000` — any server/client clock skew directly inflated the result
- Now stores `endsAt` (the server-computed completion timestamp) directly in `ExplorationAreaState` and computes the timer as `(endsAt - Date.now()) / 1000`, which is immune to clock drift
- Old saves without `endsAt` fall back gracefully to the previous `startedAt`-based calculation
## Test plan
- [ ] Start a new exploration — timer should show exactly the area's stated duration (no more "1h area shows 1h15m")
- [ ] Refresh the page mid-exploration — timer should resume from the correct remaining time (using server-anchored `endsAt`)
- [ ] Old saves with `startedAt` but no `endsAt` should still display a timer via the fallback path

## Summary
- Bosses defeated before `bountyRunestonesClaimed` was introduced had `status: "defeated"` but the field `undefined`
- After prestige, the preservation check (`=== true`) missed these bosses, so the first-kill bounty was re-awarded on the next run
- Now also treats `status === "defeated"` as proof the bounty was already earned, covering the migration case
## Test plan
- [ ] Existing test: `preserves bountyRunestonesClaimed flag on bosses across prestige` — still passes

## Summary
- Adds a new **Debug** tab to the game UI with two self-service tools for players with broken save state
- **Force Unlocks**: scans the player's save and grants any zones, quests, bosses, and exploration areas they've earned but that are still locked — shows a breakdown of what was unlocked (or reports nothing needed fixing)
- **Hard Reset**: wipes progress back to a fresh save (preserving lifetime stats), guarded behind a confirmation modal to prevent accidental clicks
## Files added
- `apps/api/src/routes/debug.ts` — two POST endpoints (`/force-unlocks`, `/hard-reset`)
- `apps/web/src/components/game/debugPanel.tsx` — the Debug tab UI
- `apps/web/src/components/ui/confirmationModal.tsx` — reusable confirmation modal
## Files modified
- `apps/api/src/index.ts` — registers the debug router
- `packages/types/src/interfaces/api.ts` — adds `ForceUnlocksResponse` type
- `packages/types/src/index.ts` — exports the new type
- `apps/web/src/api/client.ts` — adds `forceUnlocks()` and `debugHardReset()` API calls
- `apps/web/src/context/gameContext.tsx` — wires both functions into game context
- `apps/web/src/components/game/gameLayout.tsx` — adds the Debug tab

## Summary
- **#35** — Adventure multiplier selection is now persisted in `localStorage` (`"elysium_batch_size"`). The chosen batch size is restored automatically on the next visit, with a graceful fallback to `1` for missing or unrecognisable values.
- **#36** — Zone selection in the boss panel and quest panel is now persisted in `sessionStorage` (`"elysium_boss_zone"` / `"elysium_quest_zone"`). The selected zone survives navigation within a session and resets cleanly when the session ends, defaulting to Verdant Vale if no stored value exists.

Resolves#37, resolves#38, and resolves#39 — three related bugs where prestige incorrectly reset data that should survive all prestige resets.
## Changes
### fix: preserve lifetime player stats across prestige (#37)
After prestige, `GameState.player.lifetime*` fields were stale — they reflected values from *before* the current run. The Prisma Player record was incremented correctly, but the GameState JSON saved to the DB had old values, so the UI showed wrong all-time totals on reload.
`buildPostPrestigeState` now computes the run-stat contributions (bosses defeated, quests completed, adventurers recruited, achievements unlocked, gold earned, clicks) and folds them into the fresh player object before writing the prestige state.
### fix: preserve achievements across prestige (#38)
`buildPostPrestigeState` was reconstructing achievements from `defaultAchievements` (via `initialGameState`), resetting all unlocked achievements on every prestige. Achievements are now carried forward from `currentState.achievements` instead.
### fix: preserve boss first-kill state across prestige (#39)
Added `bountyRunestonesClaimed?: boolean` to the `Boss` type. The boss challenge route now:
- Only awards the first-kill bounty runestones if `bountyRunestonesClaimed !== true`
- Sets `bountyRunestonesClaimed = true` on first defeat
`buildPostPrestigeState` maps the fresh boss list and carries the `bountyRunestonesClaimed` flag forward from the current state, so the bounty is never re-awarded in subsequent prestige runs. The boss panel badge is also hidden for bosses whose bounty is already claimed.
## Test Coverage
All three fixes include new tests covering the new behaviours. API coverage remains at 100%.

## Summary
- Auto-boss now turns itself **off** when a boss fight is **lost**, so the player can reassess rather than the system silently looping. A "🤖 Last fight: [Boss] — ❌ Lost" status line appears in the boss panel.
- Auto-boss also turns off (with an ⚠️ error message) when the API call fails outright (e.g. party has no adventurers), replacing the previous behaviour of silently hammering the API every animation frame.
- Auto-quest now turns itself **off** whenever a quest fails the random-chance check, detected inside the tick's `setState` callback immediately after `applyTick`.
- `autoBoss: false` and `autoQuest: false` are now part of `initialGameState`, so these fields persist through save/load cycles from the very first session — preventing a race window where the boss-route DB write could strip them before the first auto-save.
- `toggleAutoBoss` clears both `autoBossLastResult` and `autoBossError` on each toggle so the panel always reflects the current session cleanly.
## Test plan
- [x] `pnpm lint` — 0 errors, 0 warnings
- [x] `pnpm build` — all packages clean

## Summary
- Add comprehensive try/catch error handling across all API routes, middleware, and the Hono global error handler, piping every unhandled error to the `@nhcarrigan/logger` service to prevent silent crashes and unhandled Promise rejections
- Add a `logError` utility on the frontend that forwards errors through the overridden `console.error` to the backend telemetry endpoint; apply it to every silent `catch {}` block in the game context, sound, notification, and clipboard utilities, and wrap the React tree in an `ErrorBoundary`
- Add Plausible analytics, Open Graph + Twitter Card meta tags, Tree-Nation widget, and Google Ads to `index.html`
- Make the game sidebar sticky with a `--resource-bar-height` CSS custom property offset so it stays viewport-height without overlapping the resource bar; reset sticky behaviour in the mobile responsive override
## Test plan
- [ ] Lint passes: `pnpm lint`
- [ ] Build passes: `pnpm build`
- [ ] Verify errors thrown in API routes appear in the logger service rather than crashing the process
- [ ] Verify frontend errors appear in the `/api/fe/error` backend log
- [ ] Verify Open Graph tags render correctly when sharing the URL
- [ ] Verify Plausible analytics fires on page load
- [ ] Verify Tree-Nation badge renders in the sidebar
- [ ] Verify sidebar stays fixed while the main content scrolls on desktop
