• Giant Codebase Refactoring (189+ Files Modified): Sweeping changes and alignment across Legal Practice, Court, and Negotiation phases to ensure UI consistency and reduce technical debt.

• AdjustedPractice/Trial SynchronizationCompletely reworked the [c]PracticeDashboard[/c], [c]NegotiationPanel[/c], and [c]CaseOverviewTab[/c].
• AddedComponent Demolition & RebuildDeprecated the bloated [c]CaseDetailOverlay[/c] and replaced it with a highly structured [c]CaseWorkspaceView[/c] and a new [c]MasterDocumentViewer[/c].
• AddedNew Sub-Systems AddedIntroduced [c]bailSystem.ts[/c], [c]calendarSystem.ts[/c], and [c]plannerLogic.ts[/c] alongside brand new [c]PracticeWeekCalendar[/c] and [c]CalendarView[/c] components to support dynamic scheduling.

• Tutorial Stability: Strengthened

  InteractiveTutorial.tsx, [c]BandwidthTutorial[/c], and [c]Rule9CertificateModal[/c] logic.

2. Astronomy Splash Screen & Global Music Controls (Current Session)

• Visual Overhaul: Eliminated performance-heavy canvas glitch loops on the splash screen, introducing a hardware-accelerated, single 5-second cinematic pan mimicking real-life astronomy and orbital parallax.

• Always-On Hardware Deck: Injected a [c]z-[100000][/c] glassmorphism

  GlobalMusicControls widget into the root application shell. Exposes live track data and tactile [c]Play/Pause/Skip[/c] functions.

• Aggressive Tutorial Exception: Explicitly re-wired the

  InteractiveTutorial's global capture-phase blocker so the audio controls bypass all safety lockouts and remain fully clickable, even in the strictest parts of the tutorial.

3. Content Expansion, Lore, & Optimization ([c]c3711db[/c])

• AddedLegal Encyclopedia & Glossary ExpansionFleshed out the in-game wiki components ([c]LegalEncyclopediaPanel[/c], [c]GlossaryModal[/c]) to support new terminology and branching cases.

• Payload Trimming: Purged 4,600+ lines of stale, bloated CSS chunks ([c]201.59bcbd39.chunk.css[/c]), radically slimming the build payload and cleaning up the [c]used-assets.json[/c].

• AdjustedCase Logic RefinementAdjusted narrative and logic pools inside [c]Case02_Master[/c] and [c]case_constitutional_crisis.json[/c] for proper branching.

4. Art Restoration & Dependency Pinning ([c]4124be3[/c])

• Art Recovery: Safely tracked down and recovered missing/corrupted UI assets ([c]Client 2[/c] portrait art) and safely wired them back into the [c]portraitRegistry.ts[/c].
