systems rework: buffs, prestige graph, research, modular architecture

Decouples core systems from centralized globals in favor of catalogue-based architecture and data-driven content.

   Key changes:
   - Prestige: node-based buff tech tree, graph panel, progress bar
   - Research: multi-worker system, per-generator research, xp generation
   - Ascension: meta-currency layer via multi-currency prestige resets
   - Buffs: refactored as generator-independent via catalogues
   - UI: currency panel, edge-scrolling camera + zoom, current-goal panel
   - Alchemy Tower: crafting building with recipe/cost system
   - Testing: 7 test suites (ascension, prestige, research, goals)
   - Content: migrated from hardcoded idles/ to gym format (tiny_sword)

+# Alchemy Tower
+
+The Alchemy Tower is a building that passively produces **magic gold** and allows **crafting** other currencies through alchemical recipes.
+
+## Passive Production
+
+The tower runs a continuous production cycle. Once a cycle completes, magic gold is added to your balance and the next cycle begins with a slightly longer duration.
+
+| Data field | Default | Description |
+|---|---|---|
+| `base_production_time_seconds` | 5.0 | Duration of the first cycle (seconds) |
+| `production_time_growth_multiplier` | 1.2 | Each completed cycle multiplies the next cycle's duration by this amount |
+| `magic_gold_per_cycle` | 1.0 | Base magic gold produced per cycle |
+
+Production is only active when at least one worker is assigned and the tower is available in the game state.
+
+## Workers
+
+Workers are assigned by spending 1 **worker** currency per worker. Each assigned worker provides a **+10% speed bonus** to production (configurable via `base_worker_speed_bonus`).
+
+- Max workers: `max_workers` (default 10)
+- The speed multiplier formula: `1.0 + (worker_count * base_worker_speed_bonus)`
+- This multiplier affects both the rate time advances and the final cycle output
+
+The UI panel includes a worker counter and an "Assign Worker" button. The button is disabled when you have no workers available or have reached the max.
+
+## Crafting
+
+The crafting panel shows recipes from an `AlchemyCraftCatalogue` resource. Each recipe (`AlchemyCraftRecipe`) defines:
+
+- `id` — unique recipe identifier
+- `output_currency` / `output_amount` — what you get
+- `cost_entries` — array of `CurrencyCostEntry` resources, each specifying a currency and an amount
+
+To craft, click the recipe's button. The tower deducts all costs from your balance via `game_state.spend_currency()`. If any cost can't be covered, the craft fails silently and nothing is deducted. On success, the output currency is added to your balance.
+
+## Signals
+
+| Signal | Emitted when |
+|---|---|
+| `production_progress_updated(progress: float)` | Every frame during production; 0.0–1.0 |
+| `production_completed(amount: BigNumber)` | A production cycle finishes |
+| `magic_gold_balance_updated(amount: BigNumber)` | Magic gold balance changes |
+
