Fixes that affect guides
1.2.55 fixed Prestige not awarding JP and Student Loans adding a fourth $15,000 loan, and reworked Limited Supply. Guides written before that patch may describe the old loan count or the old challenge balance.
1.2.98 fixed streak tracking, skill-tree and challenge achievements, refund checks and a missing-catalogue problem. If a guide says an achievement is bugged, check whether it predates 1.2.98.
