What to study
The same corner HUD, now in its combat state: seven masks, a full silk spool bar, and two round tool icons (a red crest and a white sigil) beside the spool, showing the equipped loadout at a glance. The layout does not move or grow for combat; instead the spool bar fills and the tool icons appear, so the player reads readiness from the same two rows they already know from exploration. That stability is the design lesson: one HUD, two states, no mode switch. Frame at about 64.0s in the Release Trailer (Steam).
