// A whole-game bot, used to tune the pacing and to guard it in the tests.
//
// It plays like a careful, efficient player: sets the best price, restocks,
// buys everything worth buying (automation, upgrades, endless levels, labs,
// research) and restarts for legacy points when that is worth it. It never
// gambles, invests or does contracts, so it is a slightly conservative player.
// `npm run campaign -- <hours>` prints a timeline; see campaign.mjs.
