The Shop button on the deck is now always live — the shop sub-bar opens on every world. The "Special Delivery" capital-landing witness now gates only the shop's Buy/Sell tab (ShopView reads GameScene.isTradeUnlocked, which replaces isShopUnlocked), so trading stays dark until the player lands on the neutral capital while the rest of the shop UI is reachable everywhere.
- Rename GameScene.isShopUnlocked → isTradeUnlocked and update all references (SaveData, SurfaceScene, quests.json comments)
- Remove the deck-slot enable guard in SurfaceScene.toggleShop / setBarLocked; the slot now re-arms with the rest of the deck
- Add ShopView.isTradeUnlocked + gate checks in setTab / _onTabTap; gray the Buy/Sell tab via _refreshTabs until the gate lifts
- Update dev probes (scout-*, shop-*) to lift gs.story.capitalLanded so the trade panel is reachable
- Extend shop-ui.test.mjs with a TRADE GATE case covering closed/lifted states
- Ship now starts with cargoHold 0; the bar vignette's DONE press builds
out 4 bays (effects.cargoHold) and then places the special-package,
making the parcel aboard the "cargoUpgraded" step's witness instead of
a build-state check.
- Remove the old capital-landing handoff and SurfaceScene package flag;
onVignetteComplete in GameScene applies effects + handoff in order and
refreshes the quest checklist.
- Persist cargoHold through saves and gate jumps so the upgraded hold and
its goods survive a scene restart or load (old saves fall back to the
carried goods count).
- Add arid-land/takeoff 02 assets, fix landing.json slot 3 mapping, and
extend dev tests (jump-cargo probe, saves round-trip, vignette flow) to
cover the new beat ordering and persistence.
- Introduce VignetteHub/VignetteWindow/VignetteModel to play quest-gated
dialogue scenes over location clips on the surface (bar/shop)
- Ship first scene: Special Delivery step 1 (Trestle + Carol at the bar),
replacing the old capitalLanded check with a vignettePlayed witness
- Add q3 speech clips for Carol and Trestle; remove retired q2 Carol clips
- Wire save/restore of the played ledger, deck lock while a scene holds,
per-sound music ducking under voices, and window sizing to each line
- Add dev flow test (dev/vignette-flow.html/mjs) and model unit tests
- Point landing.json ice-land-01 entry at the new arid-* video assets
- Replace the surface deck's SHIP slot with an EXPLORE drawer that folds up a full-width secondary bar (MenuSubBar span mode) carrying per-world service items resolved by a `where` clause matcher (world / planetClass / faction, case-insensitive, list any-match)
- Add the neutral capital's BAR clip toggle: swaps the surface loop for the world's bar video, relabels the slot to LEAVE BAR, and locks every other deck + drawer button until pressed back
- Record quest checklist steps as DONE on the ledger (QuestState.completed set) so a step that stands on the home world keeps standing after the ship leaves; save/load round-trips the witness and old saves degrade cleanly
- QuestWindow fresh open now lands on the run's priority quest (tracker HUD seam) with its tab activated, falling back to the active tab's first quest when no priority is set
- MenuButton.setLabel re-fits the panel and hit rect in place for the LEAVE BAR relabel; ExploreBar.js provides the pure worldContext / matchesWhere / resolveItems item logic
- Add dev tests: explore.test.mjs (deck, items, where-clause, span, relabel) and quest-window.test.mjs (open landing + priority), plus updates to quests/research-builds tests for the new surface deck layout
- New main quest granted after claiming "Leaving the Nest": land at the neutral capital (the bar), upgrade cargo bays, then deliver the sealed package to the home world.
- Introduce a non-tradeable `special-package` good (sheet frame 114) that no shop stocks or buys back; `Economy.isTradeable` filters it out of every floor and the sell grid refuses to queue it.
- Record story witnesses (`capitalLanded`, `launchedFromCapital`, `lastLandedWorld`, `delivered`) in a registry-backed ledger, persisted via SaveData so progress survives load and reset clears it.
- Gate the surface shop behind the capital landing: deck slot disabled and `toggleShop` refuses until `isShopUnlocked`.
- On capital departure, set the destination back to the home world so the compass marks the delivery leg; delivery proof is monotonic once recorded.
- Surface console note announces the package handoff when it first lands in the hold.
- Extend economy and quest test suites to cover the new check types, non-tradeable exclusion, unlock chain, and save/load of the story ledger.
- Split trestle-arrive into an arrive-1/2 ack pair, both voiced (new q2-04/q2-05 clips)
- Quest now completes on reaching the neutral capital planet instead of entering the neighboring system; add _atCapitalWorld proximity check and arm arrival in _checkDestinationReached
- Gate capital-world landing until the quest reward is claimed, with a new capitalDenyToast denial
- Update tests, save-data comments, and fix lava-shop-02 asset reference
- New second main quest "Leaving the Nest" (data/quests.json) that unlocks when the starter quest's reward is claimed, with four checks: system charted, gates activated, Trestle talked, Trestle met
- Quest unlock chain in QuestState (isUnlockMet / grantUnlocked) and GameScene._grantUnlockedQuests — grants on claim + scene create for loaded saves, announces via SFX, OAC quest-grant voice (new oac-quest-new comm), and NEW QUEST toast
- Trestle story beats: three-brief ACK sequence (trestle-brief-1/2/3, trigger trestleBrief) armed when home jumpgates go online, and arrival beat (trestle-arrive, trigger trestleArrival) on landing in a neighbor system; CommsHub gains onStart hook so the played-ledger marks feed quest checks live
- Quest check types: systemCharted, gatesActivated, trestleTalked, trestleMet — evaluated in GameScene._questCheckEval / _trestleCheck against the comms played-ledger (survives reloads; mid-sequence quit re-arms only unplayed beats)
- System-complete milestone moved from research completion to the chart-completing discovery (celebrateDiscovery), one fire per system via _systemCompleteSeen set
- QuestTrackerHud READY state: completed-unclaimed rows turn amber with breathing tint, percent reads "READY" (bold), one-shot flash + diamond burst on flip, CLAIM REWARD button in row popup claims in place; silent when tracker is slid off (toast + chime carry it)
- New speech clips (trestle q2-01/02/03), lava-takeoff video, updated lava-land video, renamed lava-planet image, new laval-surface image
- Dev: quest-ready.html/mjs capture harness for the READY state shot; tests updated across comms, quests, quest-tracker, and system-hud suites
- New QuestTrackerHud component slides in below the system dossier once it folds, showing active quests (main story first) with a live progress checklist under the priority quest
- Priority quest: player can set/clear via row popup or console; auto-assigns to first active story quest; cleared state sticks until a grant or claim re-arms it
- QuestWindow gains SET PRIORITY / CLEAR PRIORITY controls and openAt() to land on a specific quest (used by SHOW MORE / VIEW QUEST)
- GameScene wires the tracker into the dossier lifecycle: hidden while expanded, slides out before expand, slides in on collapse; pointerdown contract prevents world clicks from leaking through rows and popups
- SurfaceScene delegates priority changes to the sleeping GameScene's ledger
- QuestState serializes/deserializes priority + cleared flag for save round-trips
- quests.json gains a tracker section (title, maxVisible, slideMs, toast configs)
- New dev/quest-tracker.test.mjs pins the full contract; dev/quests.test.mjs extended with priority and tracker-knob checks; system-hud test updated for the extra tracker elements
- Introduce QuestState ledger (granted/claimed ids) persisted via SaveData, with safe fromJSON validation that drops unknown ids and enforces claimed ⊆ granted
- Define the starter quest "Start Your Journey" in data/quests.json with four live checks: research node, lifetime asteroid mining, home tether level, and discovered world count
- Add totalMined counter tracked on each ore event to support the mining requirement independently of cargo hold
- Build QuestWindow (full-screen console at depth 80) with video feed, category tabs (Main Story live, Side Quests standby), quest list, detail plate with checklist and CLAIM REWARD action
- Wire QUESTS slot into both flight and surface command decks right of SHIP; SurfaceScene delegates snapshot/claim to the sleeping GameScene while rendering its own console notes
- Grant starter quest on first boot with delayed toast; announce "QUEST READY" once per quest when all checks complete
- Update research-builds tests for seven-slot deck layout; add dev/quests.test.mjs covering data contract, ledger behavior, save round-trip, and deck slot placement
