Summon and tune the roaming board buddy
The Shimeji-style assistant now has a dedicated lab. Wake it up, pause its wander, and window-shop gifts without competing with other widgets.

Adopt a Shimeji-style board assistant
A tiny mascot now roams the viewport, perches on feature stacks, and chats about whatever part of the board you're visiting. It hitches a ride on buttons, follows your cursor, and nudges you toward the backlog when votes slow down.
- Walks the screen edges and hops between anchors like the terrarium, feature buttons, and scoreboard tiles.
- Speaks in floating speech bubbles whenever you hover, click, or summon it near a section.
- Responds to nearby elements with spark trails and a curious wobble when you linger.
- Spend buddy coins on ribbons, snacks, or tools—they mirror your balance but never touch your real account.
