A small code reward may not justify a new route, but it can still improve the next session. It can top up recovery, make a minor crop fix safer, or reduce the cost of a planned support test.
The danger with small rewards is using them as an excuse for a bigger purchase. If the reward does not change the affordability or safety of a route decision, keep the main plan steady.
If the route has been fragile, small rewards can be most valuable as a buffer. A safer next session is often worth more than a tiny push toward a risky upgrade.
If the reward does not solve anything now, saving is not wasted. It keeps the next code refresh or route decision easier to fund.
