**Market Events Update** The startup world is now alive and unpredictable. Market shifts, viral moments, and crises can strike at any time — active players who respond fast will gain the edge. - **Market Events:** Watch for random booms and busts — AI Boom, Viral Launch, Hiring Spree, Funding Winter, and Server Outage each temporarily change revenue, tap value, or department costs. - **Crisis Choices:** When disaster hits, you decide — pay to fix it instantly, or ride out a short penalty. Ignoring a crisis has consequences, so choose fast. - **Triggered Events:** Hit a big revenue milestone and your product may go viral. Reset prestige and a funding winter often follows. - **New Daily Challenges:** Two event-based challenges join the roster — "Crisis Manager" (survive a crisis by making a choice) and "Boom Rider" (earn cash while a boom is active). **Bug Fixes & Performance** - Events now show live countdowns with seconds remaining - Crisis state persists across app restarts, so you never lose a pending decision - Added analytics for market event engagement and crisis choices - New strings localized for Spanish

**Meaningful Decisions Update** - **Startup Archetypes:** Choose a strategy for each prestige run — Bootstrapped, VC-Backed, or Product-Led. Each changes income, tap power, starting cash, and department costs. - **Prestige Branches:** Specialize in Engineering, Growth, or Operations. Investing in one branch makes others more expensive, so choose wisely. - **Department Specialization:** Mark one department as your primary focus for a permanent output boost. - **Prestige Rebalance:** Prestige points are now more valuable and upgrade trees go to level 10, making every reset feel more rewarding. **Bug Fixes & Performance** - Migrated existing saves to the new archetype and branch systems - Improved prestige upgrade balance - Added analytics for archetype selection and specialization choices

This update adds more depth to department progression without changing the core game you already know. - Departments now unlock stronger milestone boosts as they level up - Team roles are more distinct, with different departments contributing differently to your tapping power - New department synergies add more strategy to your build order - Department screens now show clearer milestone and synergy details - General progression tuning and clarity improvements
