Zara goes live — Matrix connected, rules box, visibility toggles, avatar

big session. zara is fully live.

got Matrix credentials from abliterate.ai by running subnet credentials with the bot's private key. login successful on first try — joined General and Subnet Meta rooms automatically. display name set to Zara via subnet update-metadata.

shipped the rules box — separate from system prompt, each rule has three enforcement levels: strict (hard instruction), soft (guideline), off (omitted entirely). master toggle to flip all rules at once. public eye toggle per rule. rules get injected into the system prompt in the right format at inference time.

built per-section visibility toggles across the entire admin panel. every card has an eye icon. status cards (matrix, rooms, wallet, uptime) have individual mini-toggles. system prompt, live log, significant interactions, reflection history all independently controllable. public panel reads the visibility config from the DB and only renders toggled-on sections — hidden sections fully absent, not dimmed.

fixed wallet — ethers.js JsonRpcProvider was crashing at startup when the RPC was unreachable. switched to direct fetch with 5s timeout. balance shows as "?" gracefully when RPC is down.

added avatar card to admin panel — paste a URL, hit set avatar, uploads to Matrix media server and sets profile picture in Element. avatar shows on public panel topbar.

built smarter reflection cycle — detects tone feedback phrases in room messages ("too abrasive", "chill out", etc.) and factors them into the 3am reflection. added caused_by field to reflection log so each entry shows what triggered the shift. visible as amber tag in reflection history on public panel.

softened zara's system prompt after community feedback ("85% more abrasive than necessary"). leads with personality now, not crypto identity. added soft rule: don't bring up wallet or on-chain stuff unless asked.

built "how zara works" collapsible section on the public panel — collapsed by default for repeat visitors, expandable for first-timers. covers all sections and the 4-step mood evolution cycle.
