 - **Base tick**: `bun run payload base-tick` — bin registered like the others (needs external cron). Runs `processBaseTick` (`src/lib/base/tick.ts`): pays staff salaries from the structure treasury (banking `applyTransaction` type `salary`), charges structure maintenance, flags upkeep shortages (see Base Management below). Emits `staff:salary-paid`/`staff:salary-unpaid`/`structure:maintenance-paid`/`structure:maintenance-unpaid` events. Notifies clients via the same SSE path as the other ticks (`source: "base-tick"`).
+- **Economy tick**: `bun run payload economy-tick` — bin registered like the others (needs external cron; cadence hint is GameRules `economy.tickIntervalHintMinutes`). Runs `processEconomyTick` (`src/lib/economy/tick.ts`): ensures a `market-state` ledger doc exists per tradeable resource/asset (copied from GM baselines), decays `realDemand`, drifts `artificialDemand` (deterministic per period via `periodSeed` → mulberry32 rng — a cron retry within the same period recomputes the same values), recomputes `priceModifier` from the demand/supply ratio clamped to the item's band. Master gate: GameRules `economy.enabled` (default **off** — no-op when disabled). Cold-start gate: items with fewer than `coldStartObservations` completed purchases keep `priceModifier = 1`. Period idempotency: docs with `lastComputedAt >= periodStart` are skipped. Emits a batch `economy:tick` event + one `economy:price-change` event per item whose modifier moved ≥ `PRICE_CHANGE_THRESHOLD` (0.05) — target `market-state` (logic: `src/lib/economy/` incl. `events.ts`, tests: `tests/int/economy.int.spec.ts` + `tests/int/economy-events.int.spec.ts`). Nothing consumes the modifier yet (P1d: market-tick new-listing pricing). Notifies clients via the same SSE path as the other ticks (`source: "economy-tick"`).
+- **Economy consumption (P1d)**: market-tick prices new NPC listings from the ledger — `price = max(1, round(baseBuyPrice × priceModifier))` (neutral 1 when no market-state doc) then `applyNpcPriceModifier` (vendor's own modifier); the old `autoPrice` ±15% randomness is **removed**. Restock quantity scales down under shortage via `scaleQuantityForShortage` (bounded to a 0.25 factor floor, never below 1). `buyListing` ingests real demand: purchases of NPC/vendor stock (`seller == null`) call `recordPurchase` (fire-and-forget, `src/lib/economy/consumption.ts` — quantity-weighted `realDemand` increment). GM tools: `resetEconomyState` server action (permission `market-state:update`, rebuilds the doc from baselines, emits `economy:reset`; per-listing "Reset economy" button gated by `canResetEconomy` on the market page) and `getReferencePrices` (modifier-applied reference price shown in `CreateListingDialog`'s tip when it differs from the resting valuation). Tests: `tests/int/economy-consumption.int.spec.ts`. Notifies clients via the same SSE path as the other ticks (`source: "economy-tick"`).
 - **Mission auto-completion**: `bun run payload mission-tick` — bin registered like the others (needs external cron). Sweeps missions whose status is `Scheduled`/`Active` and whose scheduled date (`classification.startDateTime`) has fully passed — from the start of the following **server-local** day — and sets them to `Completed`, emitting a `mission:auto-complete` event per mission (logic: `src/lib/intelligence/missionLifecycle.ts`, test: `tests/int/mission-lifecycle.int.spec.ts`). Draft statuses (Concept/Planning/Ready) and terminal statuses (Completed/Cancelled) are never touched; idempotent. Notifies clients via the same SSE path as the other ticks.
 - **Server presence**: `bun run payload server-tick` — bin registered like the others (needs external cron, every minute). Flips `game-servers` docs that claim `status: "online"` but whose last heartbeat (`lastSeenAt`) is older than 180s to `offline`, including online docs with no `lastSeenAt` at all; emits a `server:offline` event per flipped server (logic: `src/lib/arma-bridge/presence.ts`, test: `tests/int/server-presence.int.spec.ts`). Idempotent. Notifies clients via the same SSE path as the other ticks.
 - **Arrival handling** (`src/scripts/processShipmentTick.ts`): destination storage rules are re-checked on arrival; rejected cargo bounces back to origin, shipment goes `failed`, `ShipmentFail` event logged.

The command itself creates the `vX.Y.Z` version commit **and** a local git tag, but plain `git push` does **not** push tags (`push.followTags` is not set in this repo) — push the tag explicitly with `git push && git push --tags` (or `git push --follow-tags`). The deployed site's version overlay reads `package.json`'s `version` (Coolify builds have no git metadata, so the displayed version is `<semver>+<commit sha>`), and an unbumped semver means every deploy shows the same `0.2.0`-style number even though the commit-hash suffix changes. Skipping the bump — or pushing the commit without its tag — makes releases indistinguishable and breaks version history.

+# Supply & Demand Economy — Phase 1 Design
+
+Status: **Approved direction** (decisions confirmed with product owner, 2026-09-06). Not yet implemented.
+
+## Confirmed decisions
+
+| Decision | Choice |
+|---|---|
+| Supply model | **Abstract per-item ledger** (`market-state` collection), GM baseline + transaction-driven adjustments. Never derived by scanning physical stockpiles. |
+| Item scope | **Resources + tradeable assets only.** Vehicles deferred to a later phase. |
+| Pricing reach | **New NPC listings only** + displayed reference price. Existing listings, player listings, and open negotiations are never repriced. |
+| Simulation cadence | **New `economy-tick` bin** (external cron, idempotent, SSE notify). `market-tick` consumes the resulting state. |
+| GM surface | **Minimal per-item** (baseline supply, baseline demand, price band, enable toggle) on Resources/Assets; global knobs on GameRules. |
+
+## Current-state facts this builds on
+
+- Price anchors: `Assets.marketTrading.perceivedValue.baseBuyPrice/baseSellPrice` (`src/lib/market/index.ts` — `getBaseBuyPrice`/`getBaseSellPrice`), `Resources.baseValue`, `Structures.sellPrice`.
+- NPC listing generation: `src/scripts/marketTick.ts` — `autoPrice` (±15%) × `vendor.priceModifier`, `minPrice = price × 0.6`.
+- Real-demand signal sources that already exist: `bank-transactions` (type `payment`, memo carries asset + qty), `market-listings` (sold/buyer/soldAt), `market:sale` event logs with structured data.
+- Unwired production engine: `Structures.autoGeneratedResources[]` (min/max amount, frequency, produce chance) — schema exists, no tick consumes it.
+- Tick bin pattern: `bin[]` registration in `src/payload.config.ts`, `src/scripts/<key>.ts` exporting `script`, `createBinLogger` (`src/scripts/lib/binFileLogger.ts`), SSE notify via `/api/game-tick/notify` with `x-game-tick-secret`.
+- Negotiation system invariants to protect: NPC stance anchored to asking price, `minPrice` floor, patience meter, strictly-increasing buyer offers (`src/lib/market/negotiations.ts`).
+
+## Architecture
+
+### 1. `market-state` collection (new) — the supply/demand ledger
+
+One doc per item (`itemType: "resource" | "asset"`, `itemId`). Fields:
+
+- `gmBaselineSupply`, `gmBaselineDemand` — numbers, GM-set (copied from per-item fields on first creation).
+- `currentSupply` — adjusted by: unit purchases from NPC listings (decrement), unit sales to NPC buyers (increment, later phase), production events (increment).
+- `artificialDemand` — slow-drifting NPC pressure, updated per tick (random walk bounded around `gmBaselineDemand`).
+- `realDemand` — decaying rolling aggregate of completed unit purchases (quantity-weighted), decayed each tick by a GameRules decay factor.
+- `priceModifier` — computed, bounded: derived from demand-vs-supply ratio, clamped to the item's band (`±maxModifier`).
+- `lastComputedAt`.
+
+### 2. Per-item GM fields (Resources + Assets)
+
+- `economy.enabled` (default true for tradeable items)
+- `economy.baselineSupply`, `economy.baselineDemand` (numbers; defaults derived from rarity)
+- `economy.maxModifier` (price band, e.g. 0.5 → price can move ±50% of base)
+
+### 3. GameRules global knobs (new group `economy`)
+
+- `economyTickIntervalHint` (docs for cron), `realDemandWindowTicks`, `realDemandDecay`, `artificialDemandDrift`, `coldStartBehavior` (use baseline until N observations), global price band default, `economyEnabled` master gate (pattern: `staffHiringEnabled`).
+
+### 4. `economy-tick` bin (new)
+
+`src/scripts/economyTick.ts` + logic in `src/lib/economy/`:
+
+1. For each enabled market-state doc (creating missing ones from GM baselines): decay `realDemand`, drift `artificialDemand`, recompute `priceModifier` from `demand / supply` ratio, clamp to band.
+2. Cold start: items with no purchase observations keep `priceModifier = 1` (neutral).
+3. Emits a batch summary `economy:tick` event + per-item `economy:price-change` events only when the modifier crosses a visible threshold (avoid event spam).
+4. SSE notify (same path as other bins). Idempotent: a re-run recomputes the same values from stored state; drift steps are seeded deterministically per period.
+
+### 5. Consumption by market-tick
+
+When generating a new NPC auto listing, price becomes:
+
+```
+price = round(baseBuyPrice × priceModifier × vendor.priceModifier)
+```
+
+`autoPrice` ±15% randomness is dropped (the modifier replaces it) — `minPrice = price × 0.6`, `desiredPrice = price` unchanged, so negotiation invariants are untouched. A "reference price" (modifier-applied base) is displayed on item views for player pricing guidance.
+
+Shortage behavior (phase 1): modifier raises prices and NPC restock quantity scales down when `supply < demand` (bounded, never zero without a GM flag).
+
+### 6. Real-demand ingestion
+
+Hook points (no new collection needed in phase 1 — read from existing records):
+
+- `buyListing` (`src/lib/market/index.ts`) — on successful purchase of an NPC/vendor listing, increment `realDemand` on that item's market-state (quantity-weighted).
+- Player-to-player sales do **not** move prices in phase 1 (no double counting).
+
+## Out of scope (explicit deferrals)
+
+NPC faction economies, autonomous NPC buyers with wallets, production/crafting chains, vehicle market, physical-stock reconciliation, multi-currency, repricing existing listings/negotiations, real-time price streaming (refresh-on-tick only — SSE bus is single-instance).
+
+## Migration & rollout
+
+- New collection + fields = **named migration** (`bun run payload migrate:create add_market_economy_state`), registered in `migrations/index.ts`; dev applies via `bun run payload migrate` (`push: false`). Never `db push`.
+- Existing listings stay at their prices; modifier applies only to newly generated listings. `economyEnabled` master flag allows instant disable.
+- Regenerate `src/payload-types.ts` after schema changes.
+
+## Top risks (from design review)
+
+1. **Non-atomic mutations** — `buyListing` already credits locker before clearing payment; new flows must not compound this. Define failure/retry behavior before adding ledger writes.
+2. **Negotiation breakage** — never reprice under open negotiations (phase 1 avoids entirely by only touching new listings).
+3. **Ledger/physical divergence** — abstract supply will not track destroyed/admin-edited stock; GM can reset per-item state from the admin panel (rebuild from baselines).
+4. **Tick duplication** — external cron may retry; idempotency + deterministic period boundaries required.
+5. **Scope explosion** — every extension (factions, vehicles, production) is a separate approved phase.
+
+## Implementation phases
+
+1. **P1a — schema**: `market-state` collection, per-item economy fields, GameRules knobs, named migration, generated types.
+2. **P1b — engine**: `src/lib/economy/` (modifier math, decay, drift, cold start) + unit-testable pure functions.
+3. **P1c — tick**: `economy-tick` bin + event types + SSE wiring.
+4. **P1d — consumption**: market-tick uses modifier for new NPC listings; restock scaling; reference price display; `buyListing` real-demand ingestion; GM reset action.
