Blueprint system verification - requirements already satisfied

[Copilot]

Status

Blueprint system for buildings, ship systems, and facility equipment was already implemented in PR #11. All issue requirements verified as complete.

Verified Implementation

Personnel System

• Three personnel types with hire/fire controls: Researchers (150 metal), Engineers (200 metal), Workers (100 metal)
• Daily upkeep auto-deducted: 10/15/8 metal per day respectively
• Integrated into game loop with proper UI state management

Blueprint Workflow

• Two-phase system: Research (requires Researchers) → Design (requires Engineers)
• Three blueprints available: Advanced Mining Array (+25% production), Quantum Sensors (+30% exploration), Auto-Refinery (+20% facility production)
• Time-based progress (1-4 days per phase) with visual progress bars
• Metal costs enforced at each phase

Item Production & Assignment

• Items produced from completed blueprints (requires Workers)
• Assignment system activates stat bonuses on ships/buildings/facilities
• Multiple items assignable with additive stacking
• Bonuses integrated into getProductionRate() calculation

Architecture

// Blueprint flow
gameState.blueprints = [
  { id, phase: 'research'|'design'|'complete', startDay, duration }
];

// Item production and assignment
gameState.items = [
  { id, blueprintId, status: 'producing'|'ready', assigned: boolean }
];

// Bonus calculation
function getItemProductionBonus() {
  return gameState.items
    .filter(item => item.assigned && item.blueprint.bonus.type === 'production')
    .reduce((sum, item) => sum + item.blueprint.bonus.value, 0);
}

UI Changes

Three new panels integrated into existing layout with proper styling and responsive behavior.

Save/load compatibility maintained with backward-compatible defaults for missing state properties.

This section details on the original issue you should resolve

<issue_title>Create a blueprint system for buildings and ship systems and facility equipment</issue_title>
<issue_description>Blueprints must be researched by researchers and designed by engineers. Once a blueprint has been created the production of the item is available. Items can be assigned to ships, buildings and facilities to enhance their stats.

Researchers, engineers and workers need to be employed by spending resources.
