- Add patrol category rules: target selection (own system or faction neighbor via jump gates), deterministic waypoint route builder inside tether regions with anchor clearance and separation constraints, completable fallback for degenerate fields
- Extend SideQuestState ledger with active slot, claimed marks, and per-contract route records (waypoints + visited indices); save/restore round-trips all new fields with invariant re-establishment
- Wire GameScene seams: acceptSideQuest establishes the patrol route on the ledger; setActiveSideQuest / claimSideQuest manage the active slot and pay out exactly once; updatePatrol checks in waypoints per frame and completes the contract; _drawPatrolMarkers paints in-world beacons; patrolCompassTarget drives the yellow off-screen compass arrow (waypoint or gate)
- JobBoardWindow walks the full door state machine: ACCEPT → SET PATROL ACTIVE → active plate → CLAIM REWARD → claimed plate, with destination and route-progress lines in the detail readout
- Quests console side tab is now live: accepted contracts appear in questSnapshot with waypoint checklist, progress, reward, and claimable from the same CLAIM REWARD / SET PRIORITY doors as story quests
- SurfaceScene exposes activateSurfaceJob / claimSurfaceJob and routes side ids through the existing claim/priority seams
- Add capital-neutral-shop video + image assets; update landing.json to reference them
- Update all headless tests (sidequests, jobboard, quests) to cover patrol target/route/ledger/scene-seam behavior
