- Add an optional node quest field so research techs can require a named quest's reward to be claimed before becoming available.
- Wire the scene's live questClaimed predicate into ResearchModel.attachQuestGates and the research tree loaders so node states, the RESEARCH button, and LOCKED readouts all honor the gate.
- Gate mining premium_arm and advanced_storage on the Special Delivery quest, and add data/test coverage for the quest-gate behavior.
- Add `premium_arm` and `advanced_storage` research nodes (Tier 3) to the mining tech tree, each gated by its Tier-2 parent.
- Add `mining-arm-premium` (4.0 minerals/s) and `mining-storage-advanced` (500 capacity) ship builds in data/builds.json.
- Update existing Tier-2 nodes to declare their new children in `unlocks.research`.
- Extend test suites for the two new research nodes, their build wiring, cost/affordability, DAG layout (3 rows), and availability gating.
- Use fixed short button copy for the gates tech ("Unlock Jumpgates") and mining nodes (drop "Mining" prefix) since the tree node has no room for system names or category words
- Raise detail panel height and widen node/button plates so long descriptions and status labels stop bleeding past plate edges
- Add word-wrap to the unlocks line and trim redundant status prefixes ("RESEARCH CONSOLE STANDBY", "PROJECT COMPLETE")
- Fix ice-surface-01 video reference in landing.json (was pointing at rocky-surface)
- Add OAC speech clips and ice surface video asset; update planets.psd
- Tighten tether research descriptions to match the new short-copy style
- New `data/research/mining.json` tree (Improved/Advanced Mining Arm, Improved Storage) as blueprints that unlock matching builds
- Three new ship-scoped builds in the console's Mining tab: mining arm rate 1.5/2.0 minerals/s and hold cap 350; MAX-guarded effects applied to `ship.stats`
- Tether Level 3 promoted from research-direct effect to a build (tether-l3) gated on L2 tether, consistent with L2 blueprint pattern
- `BuildState.isBuiltAnywhere` + `isShipScoped` so ship upgrades count as built wherever the ship lands (no re-buy), records still key the planet
- `GameScene._restoreMiningUpgrades` re-derives ship mining stats from build records on load; `_applyMiningUpgrade` handles rate/capacity with toasts and HUD refresh
- New procedural icons: tether3, mining, mining2, storage
- Updated tests (builds, research-builds), diagnostics (BuildDiag v4), docs, README, manifest
