v0.5.1 — What the Vein Will Bear

Sitting down on ground that could never carry your breakthrough used to look exactly like sitting down on ground that could. The ritual simply never moved, and nothing told you why. This release gives the land a voice — and gives the HUD real meters to watch while you sit.

The vein now tells you

• A ritual that cannot start because the Spirit Vein beneath you is inadequate now says so in chat, instead of quietly refusing to progress.
• It distinguishes the two cases, because they call for opposite responses:
  • Too shallow — the vein's full capacity is below what the ritual demands. No amount of waiting helps; you are told to seek a rich or dragon vein.
  • Drawn too low — the vein could hold enough but has been meditated down. You are told how much of the requirement remains, so you can judge whether to wait or move on.
• Covers all three rituals that read the vein: realm breakthroughs, sub-stage advancements and weapon refinement.
• The warning fires once per distinct reason rather than on every meditation tick, and re-arms whenever you sit down somewhere new — so relocating always gets you a fresh reading on the new ground.

The HUD grew meters

• Ritual progress is now a real progress bar rather than a percentage buried in a line of text — and its label names whichever ritual is running: breakthrough, advancement or refinement.
• During a Heart-Devil Trial, a second bar tracks your composure as the inner demon wears it down, so you can see how many more pulses you can bear rather than guessing.
• Both meters appear only while they are relevant, and the panel resizes to fit. A bottom-anchored HUD now sits flush against the edge of the screen while nothing is running, instead of floating above a fixed-height box.
• All three ritual labels are translated in every language the mod ships.
