Description

Hey team! 👨‍💻 We've noticed something that's affecting our players' sense of accomplishment, and I'd love to get this on our radar.

Right now, when a player earns prestige (that exciting moment where they reset to unlock new content!), their achievements are getting wiped along with their progress. This feels really disheartening — all those hard-earned badges and milestones just vanish, even though the player has legitimately earned them.

The intention is clear: prestige should unlock new challenges and let players experience fresh progression, which is awesome! But achievements represent a player's entire journey, not just their current run. They should carry that sense of accomplishment forward, even as they start fresh with the prestige system.

Current behavior: Prestige event triggers → achievements reset to zero
Desired behavior: Prestige event triggers → achievements persist across prestige levels

This small change will make the prestige feature feel rewarding rather than punishing, and it reinforces that a player's journey matters.

Acceptance Criteria

Achievements are preserved when a player earns prestige
Achievement count/progress displays accurately reflect total achievements earned across all prestige levels
Existing players who have already prestiged can still see/access their historical achievements (if applicable)
Achievement UI clearly shows prestige history without confusion
QA has verified this works smoothly across different prestige scenarios

Note: If there's a specific reason achievements were originally tied to prestige resets, I'd love to understand that context — sometimes there's a design reason that isn't immediately obvious! Let's make sure we're solving this the right way. 💙
