~2 changed
Features
- +Game Terms glossary — 28 in-game definitions (Block, Discard Pile, Fatal, Forge, Replay, etc.) parsed from all 14 languages with new /api/glossary endpoint
- +Keywords & Game Terms page — keywords and glossary terms displayed together, categorized by Combat, Mechanics, Card Zones, Map Rooms, Progression
- +Individual SEO pages for each glossary term at /keywords/{id} with structured data
- +Interactive word tooltips — power names, keyword names, and glossary terms in card descriptions are underlined with hover tooltips linking to their pages
- +Green upgrade highlighting — upgraded card values render in emerald green so you can instantly see what changed
- +Contextual upgrade replacement with pluralization (e.g. 'Draw 1 card' → 'Draw 2 cards')
- +Keywords shown inline in card descriptions (gold text, matching in-game appearance)
- +Filter state persisted in URL across all list pages (cards, relics, monsters, potions, enchantments, encounters, events) — filters survive back navigation, refresh, and are shareable as links
- +Back button on all 17 detail pages preserves navigation history
Fixes
- ~The Architect event page now shows content — detected as Ancient event, populated with per-character dialogue and monster sprite
- ~Tinker Time event — resolved unresolved template variables in Sapping, Choking, and Expertise choices
- ~Coolheaded+ and similar cards — ambiguous number replacement now uses var name context to replace the correct value
- ~Card detail tooltip clipping — tooltips (Shiv, etc.) no longer hidden behind card boundary
- ~Removed DMG/BLK stat boxes from card grid and detail pages to reduce duplication
- ~Removed type emoji from card grid to prevent text overflow on mobile
