v0.1.79: Dev Console & Multiplayer Polish

This update introduces a new Developer Console for advanced users and modders, delivers significant Multiplayer UI refinements, and resolves critical Simulation Crashes.Developer Tools:

  • Backtick Console: Press the backtick (`) key to open the new developer console. This allows real-time monitoring of AI decision logs and access to administrative panels.

  • AI Decision Logs: The console automatically captures AI reasoning, providing deep insight into why nations take specific actions.

Multiplayer & UI Polish:

  • Lobby Browser: Improved the z-order and styling of the multiplayer lobby browser, with better button feedback and game styling.

  • SteamAPI Guards: Added robust guards against SteamAPI initialization failures, preventing stuck "HOST" button issues.

Stability & Engineering:

  • ECS Crash Fixes: Resolved a critical crash that could occur during game saving due to incomplete job dependencies. All ECS jobs are now correctly completed before serialization.

  • Command Execution: Fixed a crash in the AICommandExecutionSystem by correctly snapshotting entity arrays before command dispatch.
