BreakMate Release Notes — v1.4.0 (Build 33)

Date: June 16, 2026
Release Title: Desktop Companion Engine & Environment Builder

Summary

This major update introduces a completely overhauled Desktop Companion experience. We've built a custom sprite animation engine, a flexible environment builder, and an interactive Picture-in-Picture (PiP) overlay to ensure your companion stays with you across all your workspaces.

🚀 What's New
