What outlives a runArchived storage
The storage a run banks becomes archived storage, the one wallet that lasts. A poll you suggest that gets published pays at least 16 KB into it too, more in a category that holds few polls.
It buys profile borders, from 256 KB to 48 MB, and a warm start for your next run: Boot Cache turns 128 KB of archive into 64 KB of run storage, and Extend and the git tag are carried in for 64 KB and 128 KB.
Unlocks
Every account starts with .js, .ts, .css, Linter, Build Artifacts, Code Coverage, IndexedDB and Cold Start. Every other config unlocks on its own, through an objective that teaches what it does or after enough polls answered. Nothing buys an unlock.
Swatches
Every gate's swatch, named in order.spoiler
Every gate has a swatch: Pallet, Pewter, Cerulean, Vermilion, Lavender, Celadon, Fuchsia, Saffron, Seafoam, Cinnabar, Viridian, Indigo Elite and Champion. Close a gate on a full bar and its swatch is yours for good. The swatch of the gate you are playing colours the whole game.
Titles
Titles say what you have done, and once earned they stay. Every one of the 12 categories has two: one for answering 50 different polls in it, one for answering 50 of them right. Wear up to 3 at once.
Your rank climbs 14 rungs with every poll you answer. 11 special titles mark moments in a run; your Dex states what each one asks and keeps its name hidden until you earn it.
The Dex
The Dex, on your profile, collects everything you have met: polls, configs, services, audits, swatches and runs.
