Life continues during a reply
Can a neighbor tend the garden while an optional model answers? The native game now keeps routines moving and shows the small-model evaluation honestly.
Full entry & measurements
Actual standalone Unity frames show Moss beside the village planters and the corrected model panel. The earlier incorrect Needle label remains in the evidence history. Sleep source experiences remain available only to their owner, visitor replies create speech events, and explicit Pause immediately cancels optional work, including rapid Pause/Start. Two interrupted native trials exposed cold-load and reply timeout limits; both remain private, incomplete trials rather than a 30-minute result. Cold loading now has its own 90-second bound followed by a 60-second reply window; daily life never waits. Dated snapshot, 15 October 2026: 523/523 Python checks passed in 35.76 seconds on source-ad7d641e921d with unchanged fingerprint; native build unity-source-ad7d641e921d-20261015150526 succeeded in 6.824 seconds with 0 errors. Two individually reviewed native frames here are 1920 × 1080 Metal/URP captures from their recorded builds. The clean continuous observation and separate response/frame analysis remain in progress. See docs/responsive-residents.md for exact scopes and the failed Needle evaluation.
