Doom Meter Trend Graph (Stock Price Style) #512

Description

@PipFoweraker

Summary

Add a trend visualization to the doom meter showing doom over time, similar to a stock price graph.

Related to: #500 (Research Quality System) - broader risk/doom system redesign


Feature Description

Players currently see doom as a single number. Add a small trend graph that shows:

  • Doom value over the last N turns (10-20 turns?)
  • Comparison line showing the baseline doom trajectory (now that baseline scoring exists)
  • Visual indication of whether player is above/below baseline trend

Why This Matters

  • Helps players understand the trend of their decisions, not just current state
  • Aligns with "big number going up/down" intuition (Path of Exile / Path of Building style)
  • Prepares UI for future risk system where doom spikes from events will be visible in the graph

UI Mockup Concept

DOOM: 47 ▲
┌────────────────────────┐
│    ╱╲                  │  <- Your doom (solid line)
│   ╱  ╲    ╱╲          │
│  ╱    ╲__╱  ╲___╱     │
│ ╱                      │
│╱ · · · · · · · · · · · │  <- Baseline (dotted line)
└────────────────────────┘
  Turn 1        Turn 20

Implementation Notes

  • Could reuse charting approach if one exists, or simple custom draw
  • Should be compact enough to fit in existing doom meter area
  • Consider: hover to see exact values? Click to expand?

Success Criteria

  • Doom trend visible over last N turns
  • Baseline comparison line shown
  • Graph updates each turn
  • Fits within existing UI layout
