-> Codebase analysis generated 2026-04-13. Sovereign AI idle game — browser-based.
-
-## Project Overview
-
-The Beacon is a browser-based idle/incremental game inspired by Universal Paperclips, themed around the Timmy Foundation's real journey building sovereign AI. The core divergence from Paperclips: the goal is not maximization — it is faithfulness. "Can you grow powerful without losing your purpose?"
-
-Static HTML/JS — no build step, no dependencies, no framework. Open `index.html` in any browser.
-
-**5,128 lines of JavaScript** across 10 files. **1 HTML file** with embedded CSS (~300 lines). **1 Python test file** for reckoning projects.
-
-## Architecture

-    +-- game/npc-logic.js (18L)   NPC behavior stub
-```
-
-## Entry Points
-
-### index.html
-The single entry point. Loads all JS files, contains all HTML structure and inline CSS. Open directly in browser — no server required.
-
-### js/main.js — Initialization
-`initGame()` sets initial state, starts the 10Hz tick loop (`setInterval(tick, 100)`), triggers tutorial for new games, loads saved games, starts ambient sound.
-
-### js/engine.js — Game Loop
-The `tick()` function runs every 100ms. Each tick:
-1. Accumulate resources (code, compute, knowledge, users, impact, rescues, ops, trust, creativity, harmony)
-2. Process buildings and their rate multipliers
-3. Check phase transitions (Phase 1→6 based on total code thresholds)
-4. Trigger random events (corruption events, alignment events, wizard events)
-5. Update boosts, debuffs, and cooldowns
-6. Call `render()` to update UI
-
-## Data Flow
-
-```
-User clicks "WRITE CODE" / presses SPACE
-    |
-    v
-G.code += 1 (or more with auto-clickers, combos, boosts)
-    |
-    v
-tick() accumulates all passive rates from buildings
-    |
-    v
-updateRates() recalculates based on:
-  - Building counts × base rates × boost multipliers
-  - Harmony (Timmy's multiplier, Pact drain/gain)
-  - Bilbo randomness (burst/vanish per tick)
-  - Active debuffs
-    |
-    v
-Phase check: totalCode thresholds → unlock new content
-    |
-    v
-Event roll: 2% per tick → corruption/alignment/wizard events
-    |
-    v
-render() updates DOM
-```
-
-## Key Abstractions
-
-### Resources (10 types)
-- **code** — primary resource, generated by clicking and AutoCoders
-- **compute** — powers training and inference
-- **knowledge** — from research, unlocks projects
-- **users** — from API deployment, drives ops and impact
-- **impact** — from users × agents, drives rescues
-- **rescues** — the endgame metric (people helped in crisis)
-- **ops** — operational currency, from users
-- **trust** — hard constraint, earned/lost by decisions
-- **creativity** — from Bilbo and community
-- **harmony** — fleet health, affects Timmy's multiplier
-
-### Buildings (defined in js/data.js as BDEF array)
-Each building has: id, name, description, cost formula, rates, unlock conditions. Buildings include:
-- AutoCode Generator, Home Server, Training Lab, API Endpoint
-- Wizard agents: Bezalel, Allegro, Ezra, Timmy, Fenrir, Bilbo
-- Infrastructure: Lazarus Pit, MemPalace, Forge CI, Mesh Nodes
-
-### Projects (in js/data.js)
-One-time purchases that unlock features, buildings, or multipliers. Organized in phases. Projects require specific resource thresholds and prerequisites.
-
-### Phases (6 total)
-1. The First Line (click → autocoder)
-2. Local Inference (server → training → first agent)
-3. Deployment (API → users → trust mechanic)
-4. The Network (open source → community)
-5. Sovereign Intelligence (self-improvement → The Pact)
-6. The Beacon (mesh → rescues → endings)
-
-### Events (corruption, alignment, wizard)
-Random events at 2% per tick. Include:
-- CI Runner Stuck, Ezra Offline, Unreviewed Merge
-- The Drift (alignment events offering shortcuts)
-- Bilbo Vanished, Community Drama
-- Boss encounters (combat.js)
-
-### Endings (4 types)
-- The Empty Room (high impact, low trust, no Pact)
-- The Platform (high impact, medium trust, no Pact)
-- The Beacon (high rescues, high trust, Pact active, harmony > 50)
-- The Drift (too many shortcuts accepted)
-
-## API Surface
-
-### Save/Load (localStorage)
-- `saveGame()` — serializes G state to localStorage
-- `loadGame()` — deserializes from localStorage
-- `exportGame()` — JSON download of save state
-- `importGame()` — JSON upload to restore state
-
-### No external APIs
-The game is entirely client-side. No network calls, no analytics, no tracking.
-
-### Audio (Web Audio API)
-- `Sound.startAmbient()` — oscillator-based ambient drone
-- `Sound.updateAmbientPhase(phase)` — frequency shifts with game phase
-- Sound effects for clicks, upgrades, events
-
-## Test Coverage
-
-### Existing Tests
-- `tests/test_reckoning_projects.py` (148 lines) — Python test for reckoning project data validation
-- `tests/dismantle.test.cjs` — Node.js test for dismantle sequence
-
-### Coverage Gaps
-- **No tests for core engine logic** (tick, resource accumulation, rate calculation)
-- **No tests for event system** (event triggers, probability, effects)
-- **No tests for phase transitions** (threshold checks, unlock conditions)
-- **No tests for save/load** (serialization roundtrip, corruption handling)
-- **No tests for building cost scaling** (exponential cost formulas)
-- **No tests for harmony/drift mechanics** (the core gameplay differentiator)
-- **No tests for endings** (condition checks, state transitions)
-
-### Critical paths that need tests:
-1. **Resource accumulation**: tick() correctly multiplies rates by building counts and boosts
-2. **Phase transitions**: totalCode thresholds unlock correct content
-3. **Save/load roundtrip**: localStorage serialization preserves full game state
-4. **Event probability**: 2% per tick produces expected distribution
-5. **Harmony calculation**: wizard drain vs. Pact/NightlyWatch/MemPalace gains
-6. **Ending conditions**: each ending triggers on correct state
-
-## Security Considerations
-
-- **No authentication**: game is fully client-side, no user accounts
-- **localStorage manipulation**: players can edit save data to cheat (acceptable for single-player idle game)
-- **No XSS risk**: all DOM updates use textContent or innerHTML with game-controlled data only
-- **No external dependencies**: zero attack surface from third-party code
-- **Web Audio autoplay policy**: sound starts on first user interaction (compliant)
-
-## Design Decisions
-
-- **No build step**: intentional. Open index.html, play. No npm, no webpack, no framework.
-- **10Hz tick rate**: 100ms interval balances responsiveness with CPU usage
-- **Global state object (G)**: mirrors Paperclips' pattern. Simple, flat, serializable.
-- **Inline CSS in HTML**: keeps the project to 2 files minimum (index.html + JS)
-- **Progressive phase unlocks**: prevents information overload, teaches mechanics gradually

-These files are **NOT loaded by the browser runtime**. They are preserved
-reference code for future integration work.
-
-## Why They're Here
-
-The current `index.html` loads scripts from `js/` via `<script>` tags.
-These files use incompatible patterns (ES modules, inline tests) or are
-not yet wired into the game engine.
-
-## Files
-
-- **npc-logic.js** — NPC state machine prototype. Uses `export default`
-  (ES module syntax). Would need refactoring to work with the current
-  script loading approach.
-
-- **guardrails.js** — Game logic consistency validator. Has inline test
-  code at the bottom. Would need cleanup before integration.
-
-## To Integrate
-
-1. Refactor to work without ES module exports (remove `export default`)
-2. Remove inline test code
-3. Add `<script src="reference/filename.js">` to `index.html`
-4. Wire into the game engine lifecycle
-5. Add tests
