Conglomerate Upgrades, Lightning-Fast Markets & HR Balancing

Following the v8.0 round launch, a series of updates, performance fixes, and balance changes have been rolled out.

🏢 1. Conglomerate Projects & Management

• Direct Project Funding: The separate Conglomerate Treasury has been removed. All contributions now go directly into active Cooperative Projects.
• 100% Cancellation Refunds: If a Chairman cancels an active project, all contributed cash is automatically refunded 100% to each member's bank account.
• Conglomerate Avatars: Chairmen can now upload a custom logo for their conglomerate, displayed on the rosters and rankings.
• Public Profiles: Conglomerate pages can now be viewed publicly for recruitment, displaying unlocked department research.
• Activity Logs: Cash and commodity contributions to projects are now tracked in your personal Activity Log with full breakdown drawers.

⚡ 2. Market Performance & Trading Sets

• Server-Side SVG Sparklines: Replaced heavy canvas charts with lightweight SVG sparklines across all 97 commodities, significantly speeding up page loads and scrolling on mobile and desktop.
• Market Sets: Multi-commodity batch trading sets are back with a clean layout and quick-fill buttons to buy and sell supply bundles in one click.

👔 3. HR Department Balancing

• Full-Payroll Coverage: The Human Resources department in your HQ now applies its wage discount (up to -50% at max level) to your entire factory worker payroll, rather than only scaling penalties.

🔒 4. Donator Privacy & Rankings

• No Chat Broadcasts: Automated announcements in global chat when someone donates have been removed.
• Rankings & Hall of Fame: Aligned data across /rankings and /halloffame to consistently display Corporate Scale Tiers, solvency grades, and Prestige Assets.
