Release v0.84.0 — Companions act out their tools · Codemarchant/rexclaw

✨ Features

Companions act out their slow tools. On a call, while a slow tool runs, your companion acts it out until the result is back: pulls out a phone to text another companion, makes a phone call for a delegated task, gathers an orb of light that bursts as a new background lands, paints with palette and brush for a picture, frames the shot with their hands for a video, types on a holographic keyboard for a computer task, or leans in to watch a screen recording. Their own gestures always come first. Turn it off with "Act out slow tools on calls" in Settings or the mascot window.
See what they made. A finished picture is held up on an instant print beside their face, and a finished video plays on a little film card, as it lands in the chat.
New animations in the Library. The tool animations are listed in the manual gesture picker under tool_motions/.

A cough no longer loses your turn. A cough, an echo or music coming back after the duck could count as speech, cut off the reply to what you said, and leave nobody answering. Your turn is now answered.
Sound cues at the end of a reply. A reply ending with a cue after its last words, like "[giggles]", no longer fails on ElevenLabs voices.
Background music on touch devices. Companions no longer say the music failed when the device only needed a tap to start it.
Poker faces. In Hold'em and Liar's Dice, companions now bluff and keep their hand secret instead of saying it out loud after each move.
VRChat avatars match the lighting. lilToon materials now follow the app's lighting look like the rest of the avatar.
Linux on itch.io updates again. The itch.io Linux download had been stuck on 0.81.0.

The Windows, macOS and Linux downloads are attached by CI a few minutes after the release goes live.
