I'm pretty sure that breaks perpetual effects

I haven't found any issues with it but that code is only called by "addChangedManaCost" and "removeChangedManaCost". I added this line for Thought Partition (not sure what other cards directly change the mana cost; maybe there's other cases I missed?)
I did test that "decrease mana cost by 1" and "set mana cost to 5" (applied in either order) resulted in a displayed mana cost of 4 which matches what the actual cast cost ends up being when you cast it.

It messes with Card.getOriginalManaCost and in result, messes with Card.getManaCost

Yes; I'm not sure why "getOriginalManaCost" uses CardState at all. Shouldn't "original" be a static value of the card itself? I haven't found any cases where this code doesn't result in the correct values but I see your point - I put that line in to fix constant-value perpetual effects but I think what you're saying is that the perpetual calculation routine should be checking the changedCardManaCost tree rather than updating the state manaCost value. I'll work on that.

I have updated the code to not set the manaCost value here. Thanks!

Anything else I can do here?

Currently perpetual changes to P/T are reflected in hand but mana cost changes are not. This change tracks perpetual mana cost reductions so they can be displayed in hand (and other zones).
Normally this just means reducing (or increasing) the generic mana cost value, but for spells with X in the cost decreasing the cost contributes to "X" so for those spells I have added the generic reduction as an additional mana symbol after the regular mana costs but with a yellow highlight. For example, a Fireball spell reduced by 2 mana would display as XR2 where the 2 is outlined in yellow. This should be fairly intuitive since the player sees it appear when they reduce the cost. I experimented with displaying it as XR-2 (which is what it says in the card text box) but that takes up another symbol's worth of room and looks funny. I tried adding "-" to the generic cost symbol but that was hard to read.
I have tested decreasing costs and increasing costs with regular spells, spells with both X and regular generic costs like X2B (Ingenious Mastery), spells that set the mana cost to a specific value (thought partition; this already worked but I didn't break it), and spells that have changed zones before and after cost reductions.
