      <description>Local, uncensored AI roleplay with story-consistent image generation — the same character, the right scene, panel after panel, on your hardware.

- Content lanes: a one-time picker on first run lets you choose Intimate Mode (full adult content, 18+) or Story Mode, and a single header toggle switches lanes at any time.
- Per-band chat-model ladder, ratified by A/B testing: Rocinante-X 12B at 8-16 GB, Cydonia-24B at 24 GB+ (co-resident with the image engine at 32 GB), Skyfall-31B as an opt-in download.
- Scenario prologues: every new scenario opens with an era card and cast-introduction panels, backed by 69 reviewed cast portraits across 21 scenarios.
- Director mode: steer scene, mood, and camera mid-story.
- Escalation-aware auto-render: major story beats — including when a scene's intensity rises — now render automatically, and auto-render is on by default for fresh installs.
- Portable session export (.fervyn v3): full prose, every panel, re-render recipes, and C2PA plus invisible-watermark provenance in one file — and a standalone HTML picture-book export.
- Prose quality pass at every band: a measured AI-tell cleaner enforced in code (~82-86 percent tell reduction) on choice labels, narrative leads, and image prompts, with per-scenario ban packs keeping genre discipline.
- Zero-toolchain install: bundled portable Node, Ollama, and ComfyUI runtimes with resumable first-run downloads; bundled Kokoro TTS (CPU), voice off by default.
- Plans: Free, Director, and Studio — Director unlocks the director-steering surfaces.
- Settings redesigned into Easy and Advanced modes with inline help on every setting.
- Scenario cards remember your progress: resume your newest chat from the card, per-scenario saved chats.
- Mobile storybook rework: stacked image-plus-prose layout, compact one-row choice dock, reveal watchdog.
- Male-POV render hardening: gender-lock and male-face detect-and-reject now apply to every applicable scene.
- Provenance everywhere: every rendered panel — including inpaint and manual renders — is watermarked and C2PA-signed.
- Fixed: era attire on multi-panel storyboards; repeated choice chips; chat-error retry bubble; export auto-save crash; SFW pre-escalation blur; SFW model auto-pick VRAM bound.</description>

      <description>Story-consistent image companion. The same character, the right scene, panel after panel — on your hardware.

- Content Credentials (C2PA) now verify correctly on panels whose prompts carry accented or romanized text - previously such panels could show 'Content Credentials not available' despite being signed.
- Invisible watermark embedding is queued per render and repaired at export time, so exported panels reliably carry the provenance mark.
- Installer build now refuses to ship a stale provenance signer (source-hash gate at freeze time).
- Image-first storyboard mode: every scene becomes a panel you can keep.
- Character consistency across framings and scenes (no account, no cloud).
- Read-then-choose pacing: the story flows through each beat and stops at the decision point, with choices that drive the next scene.
- Picture-book gallery: your scenes collected as a browsable book, with C2PA provenance on rendered panels.
- Companion chat path makes zero outbound network calls — proven by a public CI test.
- Auto-tiering by detected VRAM: more GPU unlocks higher image quality automatically.</description>
