Active Hypotheses

Direct tutorial entry, faster arrivals and services, and a 45-second first level with bath and massage will reduce early repetition and increase continuation into later levels.
User reports the implemented build is playable and gameplay is good. Prior supplied v1 result was 500 gameplays, 169s average, 26% engagement. This bundled treatment tests earlier meaningful activity/variety and results, not extra elapsed waiting.
