Changed

  • Integrate tutorial reward shortcut in components/DeckBuilder.tsx.
  • Update tutorialConfig.ts to dynamically format tutorial step text based on actual card costs, stats, and upgrade tiers (paymentLabel, tutorialCard).
  • Refactor hooks/useGameState.ts with improved phase gate validation, tutorial state checking, and action resolution.
  • Enhance components/GameOverlay.tsx and components/ScreenTransition.tsx with visual clip-path styling and smooth screen handoffs.
  • Update components/SkirmishCommandModal.tsx with stylized grid layout, Quick Play banner backgrounds, and protocol cards.
  • Update index.css with CSS keyframe animation rules for skirmish command protocols.
