Reuses the lightbox already built for the character gallery. Clicking
any location still triggers the visit as before, but now also probes
for that location's art and, if it exists, pops it up full-size with
a caption — no modal for locations that don't have art yet, the visit
still happens either way.
Also added a standing "about this place" blurb per location (map.ts's
new LOCATION_INFO), shown under the art. This is distinct from
LOCATION_VISITS' randomized per-visit outcome text in engine.ts, which
still changes every time — the blurb is a fixed description of the
place itself, not what just happened there.
Verified via headless browser: clicking Turning Torso's marker pops
the lightbox with its real art, label, and blurb, no console errors.

Real depth additions, not a reskin of another idle game:
- applyOfflineProgress: the cult continues while the tab is closed or
backgrounded (rAF throttles hard when hidden, so real time drifts
well past simulated time). Approximates tick()'s per-second rates
over the elapsed window, capped at 24h, with a narrative "while you
were away" log line scaled to how long that was. Can end the game
in a win or loss if the numbers would have gotten there. Re-checked
on every tab-visibility return too, not just page load.
- Tab-title haunting: document.title cycles short eerie lines
("Han väntar…", "Havet kallar…") while the tab is hidden, restores
on return.
- New late-game upgrade "Viskningen leder er" — once bought, the cult
visits map locations on its own occasionally without a click. A
small loss-of-agency horror beat, not just a QoL toggle.
- Log's newest line now types itself out, with characters
occasionally swapped for occult symbols (☿☠ψ) at a rate scaled to
current dread. Older lines stay static and legible — this never
applies retroactively.
- New "Sällskapet" character gallery: cards for every named recurring
character, locked to a silhouette + "???" until you've actually met
them (checked against usedEventIds). Portraits are optional — missing
art falls back to an initial-letter placeholder, so this works
incrementally as art gets added. First five real portraits included.
- Real bug fix: several Kaos events referenced characters (Göran,
Bengt-Åke, the Sydsvenskan journalist) as if already introduced,
but had no ordering dependency on the Standard event that actually
introduces them — so a fresh cultist could show up in the log
already "familiar" before you'd ever met them. Gated with
requires.completedEventId.
- More flavor text throughout: two new variants per location visit,
6 new Standard events, 4 new Kaos events.
Evaluated three other ideas from the same source and declined them:
a generic milestone-triggered log (Djupet's log already reacts to
real state, not arbitrary point totals), an investigator combat
minigame (hemlighet draining to zero already does this job, and
tower-defense clicking would fight the game's actual tone), and a
node-sequencing ritual minigame (real scope for a twitch mechanic
that doesn't match the rest of the game's pacing).
Verified: 15/15 tests passing, clean typecheck and production build,
and a real headless-browser pass — offline catch-up after a
simulated 5-hour gap, tab-title cycling and restore, and the
character gallery rendering real portraits alongside locked cards.

- The log view only re-rendered when state.log.length changed, but the
log is capped at 40 entries — so once a run had logged 40+ things
(easy in a normal session), every entry after that point, including
choice-event outcomes, upgrade purchases, and location visits,
stopped appearing even though the underlying state updated. Fixed
by tracking a monotonic logSeq counter that increments on every
push regardless of the cap, and rendering off that instead of
array length. Consolidated the repeated unshift+cap logic into one
pushLog() helper so future call sites can't reintroduce the bug.
- Added a pause button (and "PAUSAD" indicator) that freezes the tick
loop without touching game state, so a hectic run can be paused to
think without it counting as a save-scummy state mutation. Manual
actions (buying upgrades, visiting locations) still work while
paused, since that's usually the point of pausing.
- The "Aktiva områden" sidebar only ever listed the 3 story-gated
core areas, while the map has 7 clickable locations — making it
look like 4 of the map pins didn't really exist. Split the panel
into "Ritualens kärnplatser" (the 3 gated ones, unlock status shown
as before) and "Övriga platser" (the 4 always-open flavor
locations), so the sidebar and map agree.

- Adds a full-screen intro/title screen (new 'intro' game phase) with
a moody Malmö/Turning Torso background and a "Börja ritualen"
button; the game no longer starts ticking until the player begins.
- Win and loss overlays now show matching generated artwork behind
the existing text, instead of a flat scrim.
- New "Avbryt" header button lets the player abandon a run mid-game
(with a confirm prompt) via a new 'abandoned' phase, reusing the
existing overlay/restart flow.
- Source images converted from PNG (~2.1MB each) to WebP (~120KB
each) and placed under public/img/ so Vite serves them as-is.

Standard/kaos events can now present 2 options instead of a fixed
effect, pausing new event triggers until the player answers. Adds
4 choice events as a first batch; resources keep accruing while a
choice is pending.

- Help modal (? button or keyboard shortcut): how-to-play in Swedish,
flavor text, full changelog sourced from src/data/version.ts
- src/data/version.ts: versioned changelog entries, in-universe Malmö voice
- Map zone clicks: each location on the Leaflet map is now clickable.
Unlocked cult areas give resources + log entries. Locked locations show
lore hints. 30s cooldown per location so it's a decision, not a spam button.
- Dockerfile + nginx.conf + docker-compose.yml (port 5684)
- Gitea CI workflow (identical to 2048 — derives image from repo path, needs
TKNTKN secret, pushes :latest and :sha tags)
- README.md with mechanics summary and docker instructions

- 20+ new events drawing from Anders Fager, Kult, and Call of Cthulhu:
ICA cashiers who never blink, SJ trains stopping in non-existent tunnels,
Kult lictors as city officials, death servants finishing lectures, Deep Ones,
investigators dreaming about us, stars being right over Lund Observatory
- Rewrite upgrade descriptions to match the register: mundane detail,
matter-of-fact horror, no melodrama
- Add a new mid-game upgrade (Paktens Förnyelse) to smooth the progression
- Fix recruit button: was destroying DOM every 30fps tick, killing mousedown→click
events; now only rebuilds when availability/affordability actually changes
- Fix double andakt deduction in recruit effect
- Fix map growing over log (proper flex constraints)
- Add localStorage save/load with versioned key (SAVE_VERSION bump invalidates
old saves); autosaves every 10s and on upgrade purchase, clears on restart
