What's New in v3.33.0

3D Redesign — Circular Robot + Modern Articulated Hands

• NEW: Circular spherical head — the robot's head is now a smooth sphere instead of a box
  • Clean circular silhouette from every angle
  • Modern MeshPhysicalMaterial with clearcoat gloss and metalness for a premium robotic shell
  • Subtle wireframe edge glow replaces sharp box edges
  • Eyes, mouth, and back panel reprojected onto the curved sphere surface
  • Circular back panel with ring glow and repositioned camera lens + antenna
• NEW: Modern articulated hands — complete hand rebuild
  • 4 fingers + thumb (up from 3 box fingers) with anatomical proportions
  • Capsule phalanges (cylinder + sphere caps) for smooth rounded finger segments
  • Knuckle joint spheres at each finger joint for articulation detail
  • Rounded sphere palm (replaces flat box palm)
  • MeshPhongMaterial with emissive glow for a modern neon look
• NEW: Finger curl animation — all 17 gestures now drive per-finger curling
  • Each finger has proximal + distal joint groups that rotate independently
  • Anatomical DIP/PIP joint ratios for natural-looking finger bending
  • Smooth interpolation (8x/second lerp) for natural motion
  • Gesture-specific curl: FIST (all curled), POINT (index extended), PEACE (V sign), THUMBS_UP (thumb up), OPEN (all extended), etc.

Voice Pipeline Freeze Fixes

• FIX: 3D robot no longer freezes during voice chat
  • Removed premature robotSetState("idle") that was overriding the talking state immediately after displayAndSpeakVoiceReply()
  • Robot now stays in talking state until TTS actually finishes
• FIX: Talking state now tied to actual TTS completion via UtteranceProgressListener
  • Replaces the fixed 5-second timeout that was clearing the talking animation early/late
  • onDone/onError callbacks reset the robot to idle exactly when speech finishes
• FIX: Client-side watchdog timeout (45s) for voice pipeline thinking state
  • Prevents permanent freeze if the backend hangs or is slow
  • Resets robot to idle and informs the user
• FIX: Non-voice TTS (reminders, thought bubbles) no longer interferes with voice pipeline state

Backend Fixes

• FIX: chat_with_llm now returns Err on HTTP errors instead of Ok with an error string
  • Previously a 503/500/429 from the primary LLM was returned as Ok(("[LLM error: 503]", ...))
  • This skipped provider fallback and spoke the error string to the user
  • Now returns Err, so the fallback provider is tried, and if all fail, a proper error message is returned
• FIX: Unescaped double quotes in system prompt strings (chat.rs, bedrock.rs) that prevented compilation
• NEW: 5 simulation tests for backend error handling (503, 500, 429, success, empty choices)

Features

• Three.js WebView robot renderer on Android with rich 3D animations
• Auto-TTS for AI chat responses and thought bubbles
• Voice input: double-tap robot to record, tap again to think
• Single-tap robot to open chat box (text input)
• Long-press robot for Settings/Standby/Schedule/Notes menu
• Live transcription on speech bubble during voice recording
• Native hand tracking with front camera + pinch gesture to drag robot
• Streaming chat with tool execution
• SQLite/JSONL persistent memory across sessions
• Proactive speech bubbles at user-adjustable intervals
