✨ New Features

- 🧹 Cleaning System β€” Brooms (open crate β†’ equip β†’ sweep), customers dropping litter at drinking spots, dedicated garbage collision layer.
- πŸ›’ Smarter Customers β€” Three shopping personalities (goal-driven / price-comparing / casual browser), four new ways to leave the store, customers now head to
the entrance instead of the shop center.
- 🧠 Furniture-Level NPC Browsing β€” Browse per furniture instead of per zone, pick up multiple items in one stop.
- 🎨 TrianUI Unified Theme System β€” Four variants (menu / game / console / dark), migrated all major panels, fixed theme-bleed and font regressions.
- β›½ Fuel Pump QoL β€” Unlocked by default with starter fuel, tutorial split into 4 clearer steps, low-stock HUD warning.
- πŸ‘» No-UI Mode β€” Press P to toggle all UI for clean screenshots.
- πŸͺ‘ Large Storage Shelf β€” High-capacity shelf for warehouses.
- πŸ₯€ Vending Machine Furniture β€” New purchasable item with glass-front material.

πŸ› Key Bug Fixes

- Shelves/crates vanishing on load β€” eliminated the double AddChild race.
- NavMesh re-bake on load β€” store-level rebake now triggers correctly.
- Broom smoke / garbage spawn β€” rebuilt in pure code; trash no longer spawns on ceilings.
- Fridge door outline β€” glass no longer tints white.
- NPC navigation β€” resilient to tree changes during rebake.

🧹 Refactor Highlights

- Removed legacy DisplayName field β€” everything now goes through a single NameKey localization path.
- Interaction overhaul β€” payment / change / return are all left-click; Spacebar hands change to customer at distance.
- Interaction prompts redesigned β€” key-cap badges (LMB/RMB) on a warm paper panel.
- Resolution bumped to 1920Γ—1080 with UiEmphasisScale 1.2 for menus and HUD.
- Overnight reset now force-clears NPCs, fuel customers, and counter contents cleanly.
