🌌 Overview

Following up on the initial interface layout, Devlog #2 focuses on environment staging, repository restructuring, and preparing the deployment pipeline for production.

🛠️ Infrastructure & Deployment

• Hosting Architecture: Migrated the project layout to sit directly at the root directory level of the GitHub repository.

• Vercel Integration: Successfully configured automated continuous integration (CI/CD) pipelines. Pushes to the main branch now trigger zero-config production deployments instantly.

• Live Endpoint: The public facing interactive staging URL is officially live.

🎨 Visual Upgrades

• Asset Integration: Implemented an optimized, dark-matter cosmic background asset behind the primary UI layout.

• Contrast Tuning: Applied a dual-layer black alpha overlay linear-gradient to the background source image. This preserves interface element legibility while allowing planetary orbital paths to pop visually.

• Layout Cleanup: Stripped out temporary branding elements from the baseline visual wrapper to ensure a minimalist, simulator-first presentation.
