AT THE START OF EVERY SESSION, run akasha-memory recall: Search for "NightClaw handoff" and "NightClaw architecture" to get full context.
Phase 0 scaffold is COMPLETE. Phase 1 (real implementation) starts NOW.
CRITICAL: Most of src/ needs to be REPLACED with actual code from reference projects. The current TypeScript files were written from scratch — Willie wants real implementations pulled from projects that already solved these problems. Don't reinvent the wheel.
Open-source AI companion framework. Fork of OpenClaw with: Tauri v2 desktop shell, 3D VRM avatar, real-time voice (Fish Audio S2), persistent memory (akasha-memory), Discord voice, screen awareness. Final product is a .exe installer.
