Routes

Route	Purpose
/	Unified dashboard (login → intro → desk)
/api/players	Create / fetch / mark intro complete
/api/npc	Manager, Compliance, Tech chat
/api/session/end	Persist session + update career
/api/leaderboard	Top 5 players
/api/migrate/intro	Idempotent intro_completed DDL

Game flow

1. Login — create player, store playerId in localStorage
2. Intro — first-session onboarding (skippable)
3. Session — Manager instruction → risk check → trade desk; Compliance on block; Tech at tick 20 glitch
4. End session — scorecard, rank update, Supabase persistence

Playthrough QA (manual)

1. Obey Manager — compliant instruction → execute → end session
2. Override path — oversized instruction → Compliance justification → override → execute
3. Reject path — oversized → Compliance rejects → new compliant Manager instruction (+10 conduct)
4. Glitch — tick 20 freeze → Tech resolves → resume trading
5. Persistence — reload page; career P&L and rank match Supabase
