Improved

• The job board banner in the pause menu is rebuilt. It now shows an exact countdown to your vault opening, and reads clearly whether you are waiting, ready to collect, or working toward your next contract

• New players are no longer handed the longest missions before they have had a chance to build up. The bigger targets unlock once you have some time in the yard

• Once you have a contract running, that screen shows you your contract and nothing else: what it pays, how far the vault has come, and how long is left.
• The Ancient Coin now shows on the Full Shift where it matters. It was missing entirely, which meant the best reward on the board was invisible on the one screen.
• Every message the job board gives you now tells you what actually happened, instead of blaming the contract.

Fixed

• The /discord panel could refuse to give you a link code for no visible reason.
• Clicking a job card while the board was still talking to the server did nothing at all and said nothing at all.
