Idle Forge 1.4.2 shop and ability polish

Idle Forge 1.4.2 made the game feel more complete around purchases, abilities, dungeons and moment-to-moment flow.

What players will notice

A new optional shop was added for purchase offers and reward delivery.
Purchase restoration is part of the flow, so eligible purchases can be recovered when needed.
A permanent third combat ability slot was added, along with an Equip Best option.
Daily Dungeons received clearer combat information, boss health bars, reward feedback and progression improvements.
First-craft guidance, equipment visuals and combat effects were polished.
Contracts and combat transitions now feel smoother.

Purchase rewards are validated before they are added to player progress.
Restored and pending purchases are handled more carefully to reduce missed or duplicate reward delivery.
Cloud-save reliability work continues, with fewer gameplay stalls during normal play.
Automated checks around important player journeys were expanded for this release cycle.

Version 1.4.2 is live. The next release work continues in 1.5.0.
