🖥️ UI & Quality of Life

• Notifications moved to the top of the screen. They used to sit in the bottom status band, one line at a time, in one orange.
• Three show at once, with a "+N more" count under them. Anything queued behind used to be dropped or arrive too late to matter.
• Notifications are colour-coded. Red for a refusal, green for money, cyan for skills, amber for urgent, grey for the rest.
• Urgent ones jump the queue. A refused gate, a shield going down or an incoming missile goes to the front and holds longer.
• Repeats collapse into one line. Cycling modules no longer fills the queue with your own key presses.

⚔️ Combat

• The SKILL chat tab is now GAME. Every notification, every skill change, and the full combat log land there.
• Per-hit damage, both directions, with the damage type. "You hit Ravager ×3 — 128 hull + 44 shield (kinetic)". Hits roll up per attacker.
• Damage now counts what the shield ate. The old number was hull damage only, so every hit on a shielded target was under-reported.
• "Locked by " lines. The threat banner still owns the alarm; the log is the record of who started it.
• Ion damage is tagged separately on the target readout. It was showing as energy.

🎓 Skills

• A skill going DOWN now prints a line. Level losses were silent. Up is a cyan ▲, down is an amber ▼.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed the chat feed yanking you back to the bottom. It only follows the newest line if you were already there.
• Fixed system announcements being labelled WARZONE. Fit warnings, upkeep notices and payout notes read SYSTEM.
• Fixed typing in the GAME tab going nowhere. It sent a real message to nobody and used up your chat cooldown.
• Fixed the shield cooldown notice showing a stale countdown.

🔩 Misc

• GAME tab scrollback 100 → 400 lines.
