+- [x] Update `IsStepUnlocked()` to use `.Contains(stepId)` + +**Summary:** Converted internal state tracking from `HashSet` to `HashSet` for timing-independent save/load. Added pending registration queue pattern with `_isDataRestored` flag and `_pendingRegistrations` list. + +### Phase 2: Update Step Management Methods βœ… +- [x] Update `MarkPuzzleStepCompleted()` to store stepId +- [x] Update `UnlockStep()` to store stepId +- [x] Update `UnlockInitialSteps()` to add stepIds and skip if `_isDataRestored` +- [x] Update `UpdateStepState()` to check stepIds instead of SOs +- [x] Update `AreStepDependenciesMet()` to use string-based checks +- [x] Update `CheckPuzzleCompletion()` to manually iterate and check stepIds + +**Summary:** Refactored all internal methods to work with string-based stepIds instead of ScriptableObject references. Simplified dependency checking from O(nΒ²) to O(n) using HashSet.Contains(). Added restoration check to UnlockInitialSteps(). + +### Phase 3: Implement ISaveParticipant βœ… +- [x] Add `ISaveParticipant` to PuzzleManager class signature +- [x] Add `PuzzleSaveData` structure +- [x] Implement `GetSaveId()` +- [x] Implement `SerializeState()` +- [x] Implement `RestoreState()` with pending registration processing + +**Summary:** Implemented ISaveParticipant interface with direct serialization of string HashSets. RestoreState() populates HashSets immediately (no timing dependency), then processes any pending registrations that occurred before restoration. + +### Phase 4: Register with SaveLoadManager βœ… +- [x] Register in `InitializePostBoot()` via BootCompletionService +- [x] Unregister in `OnDestroy()` +- [x] Update `RegisterStepBehaviour()` to use pending registration pattern +- [x] Add using statement for `Core.SaveLoad` + +**Summary:** Integrated with SaveLoadManager lifecycle.
