VITE_API_URL was /api but all API paths already included /api/,
resulting in /api/api/config etc. Config call failed silently and
defaulted to requireInvite:false. Set VITE_API_URL to empty string
so paths like /api/auth/anonymous go through nginx as-is.

Frontend API_BASE is /api in production, so health check was hitting
/api/health which didn't exist. Added /api/health on the server and
removed the now-unnecessary separate nginx /health proxy rule.

"Unknown error" was hiding the actual HTTP status (likely 502 from
nginx). Now shows "HTTP 502 Bad Gateway" etc. Network TypeErrors
(connection refused) also get a clear message.

The frontend builds with VITE_API_URL=/api so all API calls target
the same origin. Without a proxy rule, nginx was serving index.html
for API paths, causing JSON parse errors.

Frontend now checks /health before starting auth flow. Shows a clear
"Cannot Connect to Server" screen with retry button when backend is
unreachable. Stale non-JWT tokens in localStorage are detected and
cleared automatically. All API calls have a 10s timeout via AbortController.

The production Docker stage was copying pnpm symlinks between stages
which broke module resolution. Now does a fresh pnpm install --prod
in the production stage and runs from the server working directory.

Churned subscribers no longer generate revenue the tick they leave,
and the price churn multiplier cap is raised from 10 to 1000 so
astronomical prices empty the subscriber pool in a single tick.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Players could set astronomical prices and still retain subscribers because
price elasticity floored at 10% for any price above $100, satisfaction
ignored pricing entirely, and churn had no price component.
Introduces perceived value per tier (model quality × reputation), replaces
the broken linear formula with sigmoid decay, adds price-aware satisfaction
blending, and applies per-tier price-based churn multipliers.

Propagate per-era duration/bottleneck, serving utilization, cash-flow nadir/peak,
and late-game revenue growth through the worker→CSV→interpret pipeline. Add
simulation health archetype classification, per-era bottleneck frequency,
unused-feature frequency table, failed-run AGI gate analysis, and log-scale
variance for exponential metrics. All new CSV columns parse defensively for
backward compatibility with older summary files.

Eliminates the 22K-object switchRegistry that caused O(n×m) scans 4x per tick.
Network health is now tracked as aggregate counts per tier (totalByTier/healthyByTier)
with RepairBatch timers, cutting late-game tick cost from ~50ms to ~0.3ms.

Fleet template is now rebuilt only when deploymentVersion changes (~68 times per
28,800-tick run instead of every tick). Reuses module-level Maps, arrays, and
utilization objects instead of allocating new ones each tick. Replaces 4x
Object.values().reduce() with single-pass aggregation and sorts fleet in-place.

Model quality for market segments and product lines now derives from deployed
model capabilities (coding, reasoning, agents, etc.) instead of requiring a
separate manual benchmark evaluation step. This eliminates an unbounded
benchmarkResults[] array that was scanned 5x per tick and removes ~480 lines
of dead-weight UI, types, and engine code.

Switch from exec() to spawn() for streaming stderr, add onProgress
callback to runner, and emit per-run progress lines from workers.

Research now costs money (drained per-tick) with ~2.5-3.5x longer durations by category.
Early-game talent budget costs reduced via era multiplier (startup 0.2x → bigtech 1.0x).
New seed-driven PersonaStrategy with 8 axes of variation for meaningful multi-run testing.
CI multi-run switched from greedy to persona strategy.

Remove misleading Reputation -> Era Gates connection (score 0 meant
"already sufficient," not broken). Add diagnosis and eventLabel fields
to each connection. Group output: broken links first with [!!] and
plain-language explanation, then healthy links as compact one-liners.

Adds a full simulation harness (game-simulation package) with greedy/random strategies,
36-metric diagnostics, multi-run orchestration via child processes, and a statistical
interpreter. Includes 2.3x engine performance optimizations (research bonus caching,
per-DC dirty tracking, reduced allocations in tick pipeline, single-pass loops).
Fixes a critical balance bug where training pipelines stalled on insufficient VRAM would
permanently block training slots — the engine never re-checked stalled pipelines, and the
greedy strategy didn't pre-check VRAM requirements. This caused 20-25% of seeds to get
stuck in Scale-up era. All three fixes (engine un-stalling, strategy VRAM pre-check,
stalled pipeline cancellation) bring pass rate from 75% to 100% across 20 random seeds.

Add compute history time-series (capacity vs demand chart), revenue vs expenses
dual-line chart, enhanced system status (training allocation, network uptime,
model freshness), active operations panel, market position bars, and competitor
snapshot. Stat cards expand from 3 to 6 as player progresses through eras.
Graceful v9→v10 save migration preserves existing games.

The old overload policy had dead controls (maxQueueDepth, rateLimitPerCustomer never read)
and trivial flat penalties. This replaces it with a full serving pipeline where deployed
models form a fleet, requests route through priority/degradation logic, and policy choices
create meaningful strategic tradeoffs.
New serving pipeline: fleet building from deployed models (size/quant/MoE multipliers),
demand categorization by 5 priority tiers, enterprise capacity reservation, priority-ordered
serving with overflow behaviors (queue/reject/degrade), auto-degradation to faster models
under load, and Batch API to fill idle capacity at discounted rates.
4 new research nodes gate features progressively: Intelligent Request Routing, Priority
Queue System, Request Batching, and Auto-Scaling. New dedicated Serving page with pipeline
metrics, model fleet utilization, and research-gated policy controls.

Training pipeline now requires SFT specializations and alignment method configured at start — no more
mid-training configuration step. Model families support multiple size tiers (Nano/Small/Medium/Large/Flagship)
trained independently, mimicking real AI company model families. Point releases iterate on deployed models
with 40% training time and 8% capability gain. Distillation and fine-tuning variants removed — players
train smaller size tiers or configure SFT during initial training instead. Only quantization remains as
a variant type.

- Lift modelsTab state into Zustand store so actions can navigate tabs
- Add toast notifications + auto-tab-switch to all 10 model actions
(train, configure SFT/alignment, distill, fine-tune, quantize, eval, deploy, open-source)
- Add actionable toast buttons with navigation (e.g., "Go to Families" on training complete)
- Fix post-training config: remove 50% deadline, show until pretraining completes,
always-visible warning prompt outside card expand, engine reminder at 75%
- PostTrainingConfig now hides already-configured sections independently
- Add tab badges: pulsing dot for active jobs, count for undeployed models, warning for no deployment
- Replace empty states with actionable buttons guiding next steps
- Stage bars show "(skip)" in warning color for unconfigured SFT/Alignment stages

onModelDeployed was defined but never invoked — lastModelReleaseTick
stayed at 0 so the freshness guard always returned 0. Now deployModel
updates obsolescence state, setting freshness to 1.0 with proper decay.

- Create researchBonuses utility to aggregate tech tree effects into all game systems
(infrastructure energy costs, compute efficiency, training speed, model capability, reputation)
- Rework model capability from sqrt(compute) to 4-pillar formula (params + compute + data + research)
- Make context window affect benchmarks and inference speed
- Add MoE tradeoffs: 1.5x VRAM, 0.8x training speed
- Enforce research point costs as a gate for unlocking research
- Add real consequences to data contamination events (reputation hit, legal costs)
- Scale talent costs from $0.03 to $5/tick per headcount
- Scale compliance costs 100x to be meaningful
- Rework competitor acquisition: cheaper but grants headcount, RP, and reputation
- Remove dead code: sfxVolume, autoSaveInterval, notificationsEnabled,
FAST_FORWARD_BATCH_SIZE, CHINCHILLA_OPTIMAL_RATIO

Replaces the simplified single-subscriber market with a full competitive simulation:
shared TAM with softmax market shares across 4 segments, multi-tier consumer
subscriptions (Free/Plus/Pro/Team) and API tiers (Free/PAYG/Scale/Enterprise),
enterprise sales pipeline (Lead→Qualification→POC→Negotiation→Active→Renewal)
with SLA tracking, developer ecosystem flywheel, technology obsolescence pressure,
seasonal demand cycles, and two new product lines (Code Assistant, AI Agents Platform).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Replace the single-stage training + flat capability score with a realistic AI
development pipeline: pre-training with Chinchilla scaling laws, SFT with
specializations, alignment with safety/capability tradeoffs (RLHF/DPO/Constitutional),
model families with distillation/fine-tuning/quantization variants, named benchmark
suite with compute-costing eval jobs, and segment-specific market quality.
Phases 1-6 of the model rework plan: new types, engine rewrite, save migration,
training events/risk system, concurrent training, variant creation, benchmark
evaluation with leaderboard, and market integration.

Expand from 10 to 18 rack SKUs across NVIDIA, AMD, and custom ASIC vendors, each with
distinct training vs inference FLOPS, VRAM capacity, cooling requirements, and interconnect
technology. Adds cooling hierarchy (air/liquid/immersion) that gates rack deployment, VRAM
requirements that gate model training by generation, interconnect multipliers for distributed
training scaling, and PUE-based energy cost reduction for advanced cooling. Includes save
migration from v4 to v5, 6 new research nodes, and UI updates showing split compute stats.

Replace aggregate network health stats with a full 6-tier Clos topology
(ToR → T1 → T2 → T3 → T4 → T5) where every switch is an individually
tracked entity with uplinks, repair pipelines, and failure cascades.
Key mechanics:
- Bottleneck bandwidth model (min along path) affects FLOPS and satisfaction
- Rackdown on full disconnect → racks re-enter testing pipeline on recovery
- Binomial failure sampling per tier, dirty-flag cascade optimization
- Flat switch registry for performance at scale
- Three new research nodes: network-redundancy, fast-repair, hot-standby

Campus level: "Fill All DCs" instantly fills all operational DCs with
selected SKU in one click. "Retrofit Campus" queues a staggered retrofit
with configurable concurrency (1/10%/25%/custom) so only a fraction of
