1.44.0 — your own characters matched by name, a “needs you” ding, the others look at whoever speaks

• Your own characters, matched by name. In your characters folder, a picture named after a sub-agent is always that agent's: qa.png for the agent of .claude/agents/qa.md (or one launched with the name qa), and qa-2.png, qa-f.png… are other looks of it when two are in the call. ⚙ → Characters → My folder shows who wears each picture and which agent types of the call have none yet. A folder with no such names works as before. Asked by arnielserrano (#16).
• “Needs you” sounds different from “done”. With notifications on, a question, a permission or a plan that waits for you plays a sharper double ding; the soft chime is kept for “your agents are done”.
• The others look at whoever speaks. In the call, the characters who are not at work turn their eyes to the one talking, and back to the camera when the line ends.
• Talk to the session from the call (Linux, off by default): with --reply, the agentStandup.reply setting or AGENT_STANDUP_REPLY=on, a field under the live call types your line into the Claude Code session the call follows, when it runs in tmux and waits at its prompt. By mohamedaziz (#10).
• After Halloween, you are yourself again. With the drawn characters, the free vampire is your character by default only in October; the rest of the year you look like the cast. If you picked the vampire in ⚙ → Characters → You, you keep it. The Halloween pack stays in ⚙ → Characters.
• Fix: after ⚙ → Characters → Reload, a fork keeps the lead's picture.
