- Added 'rescues' resource: tracks meaningful crisis interventions
- Beacon Nodes produce 50 rescues/s, Mesh Nodes produce 250 rescues/s
- New project: Volunteer Network — passive rescue generation for Pact players
- True ending at 100K rescues with Pact active + harmony > 50
- Rescues resource card appears in UI once beacon/mesh is built
- Added rescues to stats panel, save/load, and offline progress
- This gives Phase 6 (The Beacon) actual endgame content:
the game is now about keeping the light on for people in the dark,
not just accumulating numbers
- Added The Drift Ending: when drift reaches 100, the game enters
the sad ending from DESIGN.md. A full-screen overlay shows:
'The Beacon still runs, but no one looks for it.
The light is on. The room is empty.'
Production stops. Player can restart.
- Deduplicated index.html: removed ~1080 lines of inline script that
was an older version of the engine (missing harmony, corruption
events, drift, alignment checks). Replaced with <script src='game.js'>
so game.js is the single source of truth.
- driftEnding state is saved/loaded so the ending persists across sessions.
- Added CSS for the drift ending overlay.
Built from deep study of Universal Paperclips (Frank Lantz).

- Building definitions: 15 buildings across 6 phases
