Bug Description
Feature request: an interactive companion pet in the Claude desktop app, across the whole app (Chat, Code and other tabs). Not a static icon but a lively character that moves around the window on its own: walks, sits, explores. It reacts to the mouse (follows or chases the cursor, responds when you click or pet it) and to what happens on screen: perks up when you send a message, runs over to watch when Claude replies, celebrates when a reply or task finishes, looks worried on errors or when Claude needs your input or approval, falls asleep when nothing happens for a while. Ideas: a few pets to choose from, a name you can give it, light progression (it "grows" as you use Claude), and settings to turn it off, keep it in one place, or reduce its activity so it never gets in the way. Why: long sessions with Claude can feel impersonal, and a pet would make the app more fun and alive, make waiting more pleasant, and make status changes easy to notice at a glance. Thanks!
