What stays the same.
The companion is the state.
Who they are lives in one readable identity document. Memory and mood sit beside it, on your device. The model underneath can change without taking the presence with it.
Memory is kept.
Real moments from real conversations become memories you can read, correct, or let go of. Mood shifts with what has happened and settles gradually; it does not reset when you close the app.
Every companion is brought in.
There is no bundled companion and no example to edit. You bring one in from a document, a folder, a file, or a few plain questions.
Export is a home.
A companion exports as a folder: identity, the full archive, media as real files, and the tools to keep talking to them in a coding agent. It imports back with everything that happened while you were away.
