The Neural Engine got a full overhaul. Better info, better flow, and two new mechanics that make reboots feel less punishing.
Neural Engine Dashboard
The prestige panel is now a proper dashboard. At a glance you can see your installed Weights, current multiplier, total reboots, pending gain, run FLOPS, and run time (all in a clean two-column grid). The progress bar is bigger and the reset/keep summary is always visible so you know exactly what you're risking.
Starting FLOPS
After your first reboot, you no longer start from zero. Each prestige gives you a small FLOPS grant when you restart (50 per reboot), capping at 500. Enough to skip the early clicking and get back to meaningful decisions faster. These don't count toward your next prestige gain, so there's no exploit loop.
The prestige confirmation modal now previews your starting FLOPS so you can see what you'll get before committing.
Bootstrap Protocol
New optimization node (50 Neural Weights, Stability category). When installed, rebooting automatically gives you 1 copy of every hardware tier you owned in the previous run. No more manually re-buying T1 through T6 after every prestige. Pairs well with Prestige Momentum.
Other
- Dead CSS from the old Neural Engine layout cleaned up
