v1.2-2

Changelog — v1.2-2 (bugfixes)

Another small bug-fix patch on top of v1.2-1.

Fixes

The acrylic-in-build bug

• Frosted glass now works in the production build, not just npm run dev.
  The production CSS minifier (Tailwind v4 / Lightning CSS) was dropping the
  standard backdrop-filter and keeping only the -webkit- version — which
  Firefox/Gecko ignores, so built panels rendered see-through. The blur is now
  declared inline in index.html (with both prefixes + !important), where the
  minifier can't strip it, so .glass-panel frosts correctly in every build.

More research that actually does something

• Wired up more previously-inert research nodes so they stop charging XP for
  nothing — Cost Reduction (cheaper upgrades), Hiring Pipeline (cheaper
  staff), Bulk Procurement (extra bulk discount), and Crisis Management
  (bigger event cash rewards) now apply. (Only Staff Development/XP-gain is
  still cosmetic — coming next.)

Leveling

• Finished the "spending XP can't lower your level" fix from 1.2-1 — the two
  highest-traffic XP sources (blending a shake, and buying a single shop/hire)
  weren't recording lifetime XP, so a level could still slip after spending.
  Both are fixed now.

[Can be ignored]

• Version — bumped to 1.2-2 (package.json + page title).

Teasers for v1.3 (subject to change)

The big stuff

• Prestige. Hit Level 20 and rebrand — wipe the slate for permanent multipliers and unlock the next tier of content. New game-plus, basically.
• Eternal Upgrades. Spend prestige tokens on perks that stick forever (start with cash, cheaper ingredients, faster XP…).
• Ingredients. Your blenders now burn through supplies. Run dry and production stalls, so keep the pantry stocked.
• Staff roles. Put your crew on making shakes, restocking, or managing — or let the game auto-balance it.

Deeper systems

• Pick-any-combo orders. Customers can ask for any combo you've unlocked, not just whatever's loaded in your blender.
• Research that branches. Some nodes need others first, and you can master one track for a big bonus.
• Riskier contracts. Rush jobs and organic gigs with real trade-offs — and a penalty if you blow the deadline.
• Staff that specializes. Train past Level 3 into Speed, Quality, or Morale, with team-wide synergies.

Quality of life

• Marketing campaigns you actually run — pay for a promo, get a timed boost, wait out the cooldown.
• Payoff math on the card. See the +$/s and how long a purchase takes to pay for itself before you buy.
• Sell a location back for most of what you put in.
• Sortable/filterable lists, an "while you were away" recap, bulk buying, and number-key tab switching.
