 ❤️ Happiness: ████████░░░░  70%
 🍖 Hunger:    ███░░░░░░░░░  30%
 ⚡ Energy:    █████░░░░░░░  50%

Use sprites from references/sprites.json. Mood = happy (≥70), neutral (40-69), sad (<40).

Evolution

Stage	Requirement
egg → blob	First interaction
blob → cat	age ≥10, feedings ≥15, plays ≥10
cat → dragon	age ≥30, feedings ≥50, plays ≥40

Check evolution after each interaction. Announce with fanfare.

Death

Pet dies if: hunger ≥ 100 OR happiness ≤ 0

BUT if immortalMode: true in config, pets don't die — they just get very sad and hungry. Stats cap at 99/1 instead of triggering death. Default is immortal mode ON.

Show memorial (if death enabled), offer new pet to restart.

Decay (Cron)

Set up cron job openpet-tick every 2 hours:

• hunger +15, happiness -10, energy -5
• Clamp all stats 0-100
• Check death conditions
• Alert owner if critical (hunger >80 or happiness <20)
• Increment age daily

Platform Detection

Extract from message context:

• Discord: discord_{userId}
• WhatsApp: whatsapp_{phoneNumber}

• Signal: signal_{uuid}

Alerts

Send to user's origin platform when:

• Pet is hungry (>80): "🍖 {name} is starving!"
• Pet is sad (<20): "😢 {name} misses you!"
• Pet died: "💀 {name} has passed away..."
• Evolution: "✨ {name} evolved into a {species}!"
