Low-Impact Sidegrades
Small comfort buys are easy to grab, but they rarely beat the next bucket, token, or depth upgrade that actually speeds up the whole lake route.

Why it lands here
Low-Impact Sidegrades matters because it changes how smooth your Drain the Lake loop feels the moment upgrades start getting expensive. The best priorities either raise total draining value, improve token flow, or help every future depth push feel more efficient.
Recommended use: push this sooner if it fixes a real weakness in your current setup, delay it if a more basic workflow layer is still missing, and avoid panic-spending into it just because a run feels shaky.
