Santa's Toy Factory — Upgrade Price Tables

The heart of a tycoon's progression curve: per-level upgrade price tables ([][]int), max-level caps, production speeds, and storage capacities, with lookup helpers. Shows how Epic drives tunable game balance from plain Verse data tables instead of hard-coded numbers.

From the Santa's Toy Factory Epic starter project (SampleVerse/SantaToyFactory/Config/upgrade_config.verse). Epic Games reference Verse, shown for study.
