Replaced the hero + scrollable grid with a fixed-height three-column
workspace:
- Left (fixed 288px): Kira avatar + compact chat + text input
- Center (flex): Large focus timer + notes
- Right (fixed 256px): Music, white noise, wardrobe, pets
Thin top bar: scene selector dots + clock
Thin bottom bar: status + connection indicator
No cards, no scrollable grid, no wasted space. Clean, modern,
everything visible at once. Avatar fills full sidebar height.
All 15+ glass-card instances removed across every component (Timer, Music,
Notes, WhiteNoise, PetZone, Clock, ChatBubble, Wardrobe, Toolbar, KiraAvatar,
BackgroundScene, WelcomeScreen, App text input + bottom bar).
New design: widgets sit directly on the gradient background with only padding,
no frosted-glass backgrounds, borders, or shadows. Cleaner, more modern look.
- REST STT now sends delta (full text) so UI lights up immediately with what was heard.
- Works as 'live' for the final transcript (true partials would stream words if Realtime was available).
- Per PLAN item 3.
- WelcomeScreen: first-time name entry with cute onboarding
- identify WS message: sets user_id, loads saved prefs from Honcho
- set_preference WS message: saves scene/outfit/accessory to Honcho metadata
- Preferences auto-load on return visits via localStorage + Honcho peer meta
- Kira uses the user's name in greeting and prompts
- Backend: get/set preference methods in KiraMemory service
- Frontend: optimistic preference updates, synced to backend on change
