We can probably use Upgrade to change any sort of carbon based gem from whatever they were into rubies. We can probably Overclock them to make them better at recharging the car as well. Actually, if the car uses a destructive from of fuel conversion all at once on them to refill its capacitor we might even be able to use our Rewind function on them as well.
We really need to give that game a few different settings to make it harder for preknowledge of it to make it easier to thrash us in it. Maybe something like a basic improvement and then reasoning about how not having a On/Off switch for that upgrade is worse then being able to chose whether or not to have it?
Actually, we should look into ourputting some mods based off of that trick.
We can probably outsource a lot of the work on getting her to understand what should and what shouldn't be destroyed to optimise her game run to r/Outside.

[X] We want to be able to poke Upgrade to like, avoid collateral damage. Is that a mode Assuming Direct Control has?
-[X] If so, we're tentatively in favor of letting her have a cape identity, but would like her to do some fire and rescue training? And demolitions, so she knows how to safely take down a building if she needs to, and what to avoid in the meantime.
Might change it later once more ideas are thrown around, but for now I agree with the sentiment of not going out tonight, but doing it some time once Upgrade is ready for it.

"Sphere that filters out UV light that's around the sun" and "Dyson sphere" are pretty similar concepts.
I dunno about leaving something like that to reddit. Or the internet in-general. If we're not careful, it could end...poorly. Like all those Chat AI that got corrupted by the internet.

I like this plan. Not sure how much it will help, though. Also, either voting is quiet or the tally is doing weird things.

[X] Let Upgrade have an official Cape identity to play around with. Injuries can be healed and damage repaired; so long as she slowly improves and doesn't do anything too awful, you don't see why you should deny her something fun and educational.
- [X] But her first outing will have to wait until you've made arrangements. You're going to want at least one of your sisters to go with her, to start with, and she will have to listen to their advice.

Fragmentation updated!
Sorry, had to get that out
[ ][Project] Upgrade your body.
-[ ] Preform an upgrade on your everything. Don't leave anything out; if it's upgradable, upgrade it. Leave the specifics to Upgrade, but make sure you that your basic needs (sleep, food, etc..) are also reduced (i.e need less sleep, less food, less oxygen, etc.).
Of course, we'll probably want to wait until we discover what Mom isn't telling us before doing this, and maybe until after we change into Upgraded Magical Girls, but this project is one we have to preform soon. It's just too useful, generic as it is.
As for the current vote...

Confirmation that magical girls have colored text speech. Hier, the Princess Voices and Pregonitor also have colored text, so perhaps it denotes the ability to use magic (Or whatever energy they use)?
In that case, proposed Project:

Hmm, about the super powered evil side vote... In what circumstances would we be unleashing our superpowered evil side during a magical girl fight? Doesn't that sort of thing usually only come out when the hero is heavily wounded/in desperate circumstances?

I dunno. That sounds like enough effort on our end that it might be better to just use that data to give her advice, instead. Means we don't risk Upgrade deciding to explore the rest of the Internet, either.

Curious: How do you propose doing that when she's always monitoring the world through your senses? You're not even sure she understands the concept of privacy.
Fortunately, you don't really feel you need it.
EDIT: This wasn't intended as sarcasm. I can think of at least one way (using IC knowledge only) to filter the content she sees.

Okay, firstly, yay, updates! Updates are good updates. Secondly:
Did I tell anyone on this site that story recently? I remember telling someone, but I just went over literally everything I've posted on this thread, and basically most others, and can't see it, so, uh.
Because my dad did this- or, I mean, not actually teleport the car (I'm like 99.7% sure), but like when I was a small child, I always had a really hard time staying awake whenever I wasn't doing anything, and this went for plays, school assemblies, or, in fact, car rides. And we had to cross a bridge to get home from basically anywhere, and I always fell asleep before we got to the bridge going either direction, so that means I was never awake to verify- whenever we had to drive over the bridge I was always trying to, you know, stay awake and look at the scenery and whatnot, and I always asked dad if I missed the bridge or if we hadn't got to it yet, to get a sense of where we were and all. And he always told me that 'oh yeah, we flew over the bridge, with this button right here' and pointed to the hazard lights button, you know, for emergency use only, and he said it with such a straight face that it was years (and I think several attempts at google) before I was reasonably sure he was just messing with me about the matter. Years, during which I was low-key uncertain whether or not we did have a button in the car that just sort of made it fly.
So yeah, this bit, very relatable, A+, that's an incredibly dad-thing to do.
Add that to the list of questions- if these are modern superpowers, what were the old type?
Also:
If Princesses lose their names, why's this one Mary? The others don't call each other by Heir's nicknames for them, but they call this one 'Mary', and I'm curious as to why.
Finally, vote:

Because learning how to not accidentally the surroundings takes priority. We can think through a solid plan for what kind of cape identity shenanigans to engage with later; we're still in the process of our own, I think, yeah?

Going out tonight requires us to actually design the new identity and costume beforehand, so nope.
By the way, when we fulfill one of Progenitor's quests and are offered a reward, can we please ask for something like

Any effect like True Sight that references our true selves fails unless we would consider it benevolent.
This skips the "You're a monster!" arc when True Sight comes into play and might purge a few spells from our mother which she never mentioned.

If we're ever asked to rescue a cat from a tree we should try a more permanent solution.
Cats climb trees to hunt and explore, while they are very good at climbing they have difficulty getting down that hampers these goals, if they could glide it would make them able to get down easier and aid the overall goal of exploration and hunting. Upgrade.

Well, there are a couple abusive weirdos who put cats in trees just so they can get autographs, footage of any rescue, or adorable pictures of Capes holding cats. The most-viewed video on MewTube (with a ratio of 34% Dislikes and numerous angry comments) is one of a cat being fished out of a tree by some flying Builder or another— annnd having the terrified feline claw their face until the kitty was dropped to the ground unharmed. The cat in question immediately began licking itself to get the taint of human off while the Builder swore profusely in the background.

We dont need to upgrade every cat, only the ones caught in trees, if that turns out to be enough to establish a stable breed that's not our problem.

I suspect there are laws against creating new genetically modified species and those laws are heavily enforced to prevent everyone from messing up the biosphere. If we make a breed of supercats then we would probably have to pay a lot to the government and various foundations for protecting native birds and other wildlife.

Cats are already very effective ambush predators. And are known to at least occasionally jump down onto people's heads. Giving them the ability to glide will allow them to more easily drop down on both prey, and people's heads. This is not a good plan. Also, depending on the cat, they may be too heavy to actually glide.

What if cats just got even more shock absorbency in their bodies so they could safely jump down from basically any height?
Or maybe just give cats the ability to fuck gravity so whatever is under their feet is the direction 'down'. Then they could just stroll down trees. Or up buildings. It would be very Cheshire cat.
