Streaming Reminders — The Fracture Update

This update expands the late-stage escalation path with full Delusion progression, the new Schism stage, and a temporary ending that now acts as the current end gate for the route.

Added Delusion stage progression

• Delusion now supports EARLY, MID, and LATE phase progression.
• Added dedicated Delusion reminder text pools, status lines, and flavor lines.
• Added Reality Override prefix behavior during Delusion.
• Added Delusion-specific popup behavior, including moving doubt-button effects, corroboration lines, and escalating UI instability.
• Added Delusion swarm flow support for multi-panel auxiliary popup behavior.
• Added Delusion exit-choice flow:
  • RETURN sends the player back to GIVE_UP
  • NEXT STAGE advances into Schism

Added Schism stage

• Added full Schism stage progression after Delusion.
• Schism now supports EARLY, MID, and LATE phases.
• Added department-driven presentation and control flow using:
  • Hydration Registry
  • Spine Office
  • Focus Unit
  • Appeals Desk
  • Contradiction Office
• Added Schism-specific reminder text, status lines, flavor lines, followups, and UI labeling.
• Added Schism side panels, recommendation lines, changing department ownership, stamp overlays, vote-tally displays, and boardroom deadlock presentation.

Added temporary ending

• Added a temporary ending stage at the end of the current Schism route.
• Temporary ending includes a dedicated popup with:
  • BACK TO SCHISM
  • RESTART
• Restart cleanly resets the run from the beginning.
• The temporary ending is now the preserved end gate for this route, so future stages can be added behind it later without replacing the current ending structure.

Other update notes

• Popup timing gate remains lowered so popup UI starts at 40 minutes.
• Delusion exit-choice button text now uses NEXT STAGE for forward progression.
