🐾
Furry (Kemono Therian) species
A soft kemono-style anthro fursona with heterochromatic eyes, gradient fur, fluffy tail, and toe beans. Totally themselves. 🌟
🦋
Moth species
Large dusty wings with bioluminescent eye-spot patterns, feathery plume antennae, and a deep love of lamps. Luna Moth at legendary stage.
🐜
Ant species
Three body segments, six legs, elbow-bent antennae, mandibles, and a tiny hard hat. Worker → Scout → Soldier → Queen.
🏫
Educator page (/educators)
A separate marketing page for teachers and schools — Classroom Display Mode, whole-class Reset Station, IEP/504 export, standalone without parent accounts.
🔀
Workspace switcher + Primary Caregiver
One login, multiple separate workspaces (Parent + Teacher). "Primary Caregiver" terminology throughout to include grandparents, foster families, kinship care.
🏆
Independence Ladder in parent settings
4 levels of support (Full Support → Guided Recall → Self-Initiated → Independent), per-kid and per-category. The real north star metric.
👥
Co-Parent Access Tiers
Full Co-Parent / Ghost View / Highlights Only / Gift-Only — all optional, all custodial-parent-controlled, instantly revocable. Remote Gifting with sibling fairness nudge.
⚖️
Healthy Engagement system
Calendar-aware states: Active Day / End-of-Day Wind-Down / Rest Day / Extended Break. Explicit rule: days with zero tasks never break a streak.
📅
TODAY / TOMORROW / WEEK / MONTH tabs
TOMORROW tab now shows a real preview of next day's tasks. Week and Month views now load actual task data (no more placeholder).
🥕
Veggie confetti in the extra-happy flourish
When the feeding sequence triggers an extra delight moment, tiny carrots, strawberries, broccoli florets, and blueberries join the sparkle burst. Just for fun.

When a timed session goes imminent, a full-screen alert requires a deliberate hold-to-dismiss — not a casual swipe.

A third task type alongside Live Session and Homework/Chore. Habits repeat automatically, earn a small Cookie reward, and never punish a missed day.
