🔍 Improvement: buying food and drinks no longer reloads the shop every time.
Each purchase used to send you to a confirmation page, then reload the whole shop and its tab when you came back, so stocking up for the Masquerade NPCs meant sitting through that on every item. The Buy button now works in place: your trinket balance updates, a quick note confirms what you bought, and you stay right where you are.

🔧 Technical: the two shops load quicker.
They were re-running their full item list on every page and tab load. That's cached now, so the shops and their tabs come up faster.
