> PATCH: STARTUP OPTIMIZATION
> Profiling boot sequence...
> Deferring non-critical subsystems...
> Preloading font assets...
> Boot time reduced.
CHANGES
- Faster game launch -- audio, achievements, and save listing no longer block startup
- Fonts preloaded to eliminate rendering flash
- Steam achievement sync batched into a single call
- Neural Weight multiplier now uses diminishing returns (sqrt scaling) -- early prestiges feel stronger, late-game snowball is tamed
TECHNICAL
- Tone.js lazy-loaded on first interaction instead of at boot
- Save directory resolution moved from synchronous to async IPC
- Window uses ready-to-show pattern to prevent blank flash
> The system boots faster now.
> What you do with that time is up to you.
