Each Claude Code session now gets its own state file at:
~/.claude/buddymon/sessions/<pgrp>.json
Contains: buddymon_id, session_xp, challenge — all session-local.
Global active.json keeps the default buddymon_id for new sessions.
/buddymon assign writes to the session file only, so assigning in one
terminal window doesn't affect other open sessions. Each window can
have its own buddy assigned independently.
SessionStart creates the session file (inheriting global default).
SessionStop reads XP from it, writes to roster, then removes it.
Evolution triggers at Lv.100 for all three starters:
Pyrobyte → 🌋 Infernus (power 40→70, catch_rate 0.45→0.55)
Debuglin → 🔬 Verifex (power 35→60, catch_rate 0.60→0.75)
Minimox → 🌑 Nullex (power 35→55, catch_rate 0.50→0.65)
/buddymon evolve: checks eligibility, shows stat preview, resets buddy
to Lv.1 in evolved form, archives old form with evolved_into marker,
carries challenges forward.
session-stop.sh now prints EVOLUTION READY banner when level hits 100
or when already eligible at session end.
catch_pending: set immediately when /buddymon catch is invoked, suppresses
auto-resolve while weakening Q&A is in progress. Cleared before catch roll
(success clears encounter, failure leaves it without the flag so auto-resolve
resumes naturally on the next clean Bash run).
wounded: first clean Bash run without catch_pending drops the encounter to 5%
strength and re-announces via UserPromptSubmit with a fleeing message. Second
clean run auto-resolves it (it fled). UserPromptSubmit now shows distinct
announcement text for wounded vs fresh encounters.
Adds lib/statusline.sh — a fast bash+jq status bar widget showing
active buddy, level, session XP, and any active encounter in red.
install.sh now copies the script to ~/.claude/buddymon/statusline.sh
and wires it into settings.json automatically during install.
/buddymon statusline subcommand documented in SKILL.md for manual install.
Adds LANGUAGE_TIERS with 6 tiers: discovering → familiar → comfortable
→ proficient → expert → master (thresholds: 0/50/150/350/700/1200 XP).
add_language_affinity() writes to roster.json['language_affinities'],
accumulating across sessions. Returns (leveled_up, old_tier, new_tier)
so the Edit/Write branch can fire a level-up message immediately (Edit
PostToolUse additionalContext surfaces fine).
Session-level languages_seen remains for the one-time Explorer bonus.
Roster skill view updated to show language affinity section.
When an active encounter exists and the next Bash tool call produces
output with no matching error patterns, the monster is automatically
defeated and XP is awarded — no manual /buddymon fight needed.
/buddymon fight is kept as a manual fallback for fixes that happen
outside Bash (config edits, etc.).
