Idle Forge 1.0.0 Launch Update

Version 1.0.0 brought the first major Idle Forge release together: forging, fighting, rewards and long-term goals.

Why it changed

The goal was to make the core loop feel complete: craft gear, grow stronger, beat tougher enemies and always have another reward to chase.

Added ability research with unlockable and upgradeable combat abilities.
Added Coin and Arcane daily dungeons with daily keys and reward previews.
Added daily and weekly contracts with weekly points, milestones and completion rewards.
Added forge unlock previews for upcoming systems, rarities, stats and rewards.
Improved forge upgrade celebrations, contract notifications and reward feedback.
Improved early combat feel, dungeon progress, ability feedback and reward presentation.

This release shaped the main Idle Forge rhythm: craft, upgrade, fight, collect and come back stronger.
