Status Promotion
Sequential advancement combines implemented requirements with explicitly marked future rank scope.
Sequential Advancement
Promotion always targets the next canonical Social Status. See Social Status for the live requirements and the distinction between enforced and future requirements.
Safety
The server validates status, progress, cash, debt, education, and civic requirements. A failed promotion changes neither rank nor wallet.

Independent life and menus
Town remains visible for every rank. Citizen unlocks lawful contracts, free safe practice, lessons, clinic and repairs; no equipment purchase is needed to begin. Skilled Worker and every higher rank can operate licensed workshops and pursue criminal Town opportunities. Salaried Laborer and Citizen jobs end at this stage. Career > Independent Work becomes your starting page for workshops, contracts and training. Business contains your trade; Town contains districts, NPC contracts, training, encounters and your story. Character retains Profile, Inventory, Storage, Provisions and the existing Items Worn slots.
