v0.61.7

Expanded Blacksmith and bomb onboarding.
The first time the Forge comes onto the player’s screen inside the Blacksmith, Kalibros now explains how Grym’s Forge and the Recipe Desk differ, including rotating recipe-free forge offers, learned recipe crafting, reduced Blacksmith material costs, and stronger forge output.
The first time the player acquires a bomb, Kalibros now warns that bombs require Flint & Steel to light, can destroy some map objects including bridges, and can injure the Warden.
Android package metadata now reports 0.61.7-android.0 for future refreshed APKs.

Expanded Blacksmith onboarding.
The first time the Blacksmith door comes into current fog-of-war vision, Kalibros now highlights it and explains that Grym can provide forge supplies, recipes, bombs, and stronger crafted gear.
Android package metadata now reports 0.61.6-android.0 for future refreshed APKs.

Improved town door prompts.
Trader, Pub, and Church doors now name their destination in the world prompt before entry.
Fixed Grym’s Forge recipe rotation.
Forge recipe offerings now stay stable for the full current round, including after closing/reopening the forge or leaving and re-entering the Blacksmith.
The forge list now rotates on the next round instead of rerolling every time the forge opens.
Android package metadata now reports 0.61.5-android.0 for future refreshed APKs.

Expanded the in-run music shuffle.
Pack 1 through Pack 5 now add 23 more authored songs to the gameplay playlist.
The new Pack tracks have been normalized to match Go Forth! and the previously tuned run songs at roughly -25.8 LUFS.
Polished the now-playing mini-player.
Song titles now come from the playlist title data and render as a clipped marquee instead of chopped text fragments.
Long track names now remain visible long enough to complete two marquee loops.
Android package metadata now reports 0.61.4-android.0 for future refreshed APKs.

Tightened Jade’s Lightning Bolt overcharge range behavior.
Quick taps now fire a single-segment short bolt toward the cursor instead of stretching to the cursor.
Held bolts now grow to the cursor by the overcharge threshold and can extend beyond it when charged longer.
Android package metadata now reports 0.61.3-android.0 for future refreshed APKs.

Added overcharge casting to Jade’s Lightning Bolt.
Lightning Bolt now fires when the hotkey is released: quick taps produce a very short strike, while longer holds extend the strike and increase its damage.
The Lightning Bolt hotbar icon now jiggles and fills with a pale charge overlay while the spell is being held.
Fully overcharged bolts now pierce projectile-blocking walls and barriers instead of stopping at the first center-line blocker.
Lightning Bolt charge tuning now lives in data/gameplay.json, and Android package metadata now reports 0.61.2-android.0 for future refreshed APKs.

Fixed Mathias service visibility.
Healing and shield blessing now remain visible in Mathias dialogue even when the player cannot currently afford them, so the confirmation step can explain the cost or failure.
Trax room rental now follows the same pattern: the rental option remains visible and payment failure is handled after confirmation.
Android package metadata now reports 0.61.1-android.0 for future refreshed APKs.

Added run-local reputation and faction tracking.
Quests can now reward faction reputation for The Crown, The Church, Traders’ Circle, The Pub, and The Craftsmen’s Guild.
The Quest Log now includes a Reputation view showing each faction’s current run standing and unlock direction.
Enemy kills can be tracked by broad faction buckets such as Goblins, Orcs, Undead, and Beasts for future quest objectives.
Expanded NPC services.
Father Mathias now offers paid healing through a confirmation step and can prepare a paid shield blessing that activates after leaving the church.
Trax can rent the player a room, assign Bed One or Bed Two, and let the player sleep once to advance only the day/night phase.
Sleeping now fades smoothly to black, applies the time jump while hidden, then fades back in for a short rest transition.
Very rare sleep dream events can grant a round-long buff, while nightmares can apply a round-long debuff.
Android package metadata now reports 0.61.0-android.0 for future refreshed APKs.
Improved trader reputation behavior.
Higher Traders’ Circle reputation improves Trax’s chance to stock RPG equipment within the existing four-offer shop layout.
Higher NPC reputation now modestly improves quest XP and currency rewards for that faction during the current run.
