Performance & Save Reliability
A major Public Alpha reliability pass is now complete. Game assets and image loading were heavily optimized to reduce initial downloads and improve page loading across the main skill screens. The save system now includes versioned migrations, safer import/export handling, recovery backups, and clearer import confirmation before replacing local progress.
