Feature request: Companion (Skarquill) language configuration

Preflight Checklist

• [x] I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
• [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)

Problem Statement

I use Claude Code with "language": "português" in my settings.json, and Claude's responses correctly come in Portuguese. However, the companion (Skarquill) always speaks in English, creating an inconsistent experience. There's no setting to control the companion's language — it ignores the existing language configuration entirely.

Proposed Solution

The companion (Skarquill) should respect the "language" field already available in settings.json. If the user has "language": "português", the buddy's speech bubbles should also be in Portuguese. Alternatively, a dedicated setting like "companion": { "language": "pt-BR" } would work too.

Alternative Solutions

There is no workaround currently. I've checked settings.json, ~/.claude/ configs, and there's no companion-specific configuration available. The only option is to ignore the English bubbles, which breaks the immersion for non-English speakers.

Priority

Low - Nice to have

Configuration and settings

Use Case Example

1. I set "language": "português" in my settings.json
2. Claude Code responds to me in Portuguese — great
3. Skarquill comments in English — inconsistent
4. With this feature, Skarquill would also speak Portuguese, making the full experience cohesive for non-English users

Additional Context

This affects all non-English speaking users. The language setting already exists and works for Claude's responses — extending it to the companion should be a natural addition.
