This implements a complete Katherine RPG-based character state tracking
system that tracks the AI character ({{char}}) instead of the user.
Features:
- 40+ primary personality traits (dominance, honesty, empathy, etc.)
- 70+ secondary emotional states (happy, horny, anxious, playful, etc.)
- Physical stats tracking (energy, hunger, arousal, health, pain, etc.)
- Relationship tracking per-NPC (trust, love, attraction, thoughts, etc.)
- Clothing/outfit dynamic tracking
- Internal thoughts and contextual awareness
- LLM-driven automatic state updates based on responses
- Full UI rendering with tabbed interface
New Files:
- src/core/characterState.js (528 lines) - Core state data structure
- src/systems/generation/characterPromptBuilder.js (407 lines) - LLM prompts
- src/systems/generation/characterParser.js (456 lines) - Response parsing
- src/systems/rendering/characterStateRenderer.js (401 lines) - UI rendering
- CHARACTER_TRACKING_README.md - Complete documentation
- INTEGRATION_EXAMPLE.js - Step-by-step integration guide
- IMPLEMENTATION_SUMMARY.md - System overview and deliverables
System tracks 150+ individual stats per character with full LLM integration
for contextual, realistic character simulation.
All code is production-ready and copy-paste complete.
- Add temporal awareness and stat decay rules to prompt (0-5% per message)
- Add 'Always Include Attributes' toggle in tracker editor
- Fix skills section editing (was not saving customFields)
- Improve Present Characters parser to handle malformed formats (mid-line chars, extra blank lines)
- All changes work in both together/separate generation modes
Fixed issues when AI generates multiple character variants (e.g.,
storyteller mode with 'Dottore (Prime)', 'Dottore (Beta)', etc.):
1. Escape quotes in character names to prevent HTML attribute breakage
- Added escapeHtmlAttr() helper function
- Prevents names like 'Marianna "Mari"' from breaking HTML
2. Restore avatar lookup for character variants
- namesMatch() now strips parentheses and quotes from both sides
- Allows 'Dottore (Prime)' to find 'Dottore' character card avatar
- Each variant still gets its own card with separate attributes
3. Multiple characters now display correctly in panel
- Each variant creates its own character object
- Attributes (Details, Relationship, Stats, Thoughts) don't mix
- All characters appear in the panel, not just the last one
- New setting in Display Options to auto-expand thought bubble
- When enabled, thought bubble displays immediately without clicking icon
- Checkbox added to settings modal with descriptive help text
- Default is off to maintain current behavior
- Load relationshipEmojis from config.relationshipEmojis in thoughts.js
- Custom relationships added in Edit Trackers now display correctly as emojis
- Falls back to default emojis if config not available
Features:
- Made RPG attributes (STR/DEX/CON/INT/WIS/CHA) fully customizable
- Added enable/disable toggle for entire RPG Attributes section
- Users can add/remove/rename/toggle individual attributes
- Custom attribute names now appear in AI prompts for dice rolls
- Added proper CSS styling for attribute editor fields
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed character stat editing showing 0% on blur but saving correctly
- Character stats now create Stats line if missing from AI response
- Separated stat name from editable percentage value
- Added value sanitization (removes %, validates 0-100 range)
- Stats line now inserts before Thoughts line when created
Technical:
- Added buildAttributesString() helper in promptBuilder.js
- Updated generateTrackerInstructions and generateContextualSummary
- Restructured character stat HTML to prevent nested contenteditable
- Enhanced updateCharacterField to handle missing Stats lines
- Removed legacy default preset/regex import code
- Replace showRPGAttributes boolean with rpgAttributes array in trackerConfig
- Add RPG Attributes section in Edit Trackers with add/remove/rename/toggle
- Dynamically generate attribute display from config in userStats.js
- Add migration from old showRPGAttributes to new rpgAttributes array
- Initialize new attributes with default value of 10 in classicStats
- Default attributes: STR, DEX, CON, INT, WIS, CHA (all enabled)
- Fixed together mode: Render panels before cleaning DOM so trackers display properly
- Fixed temperature unit toggle: Changed from 'celsius'/'fahrenheit' to 'C'/'F' to match config
- Fixed temperature widget: Thermometer color thresholds now use Celsius internally for consistency
- Fixed relationship remove buttons: Removed duplicate class causing wrong fields to be deleted
- Added styling for relationship remove buttons to match custom field buttons
- Added mobile font sizes for Past Events widget for better readability
- Added parsing debug log to help troubleshoot together mode issues
- Completely rewrote updateCharacterField function to work with new multi-line Present Characters format
- Now parses character blocks by '- Name' lines instead of pipe-separated format
- Handles updating Details, Relationship, and Stats lines correctly
- Supports all field types: name, emoji, custom fields, relationship, character stats
- Creates new character blocks if character doesn't exist
- Fixes bug where edits would revert because old format logic couldn't parse new format
- Users can now successfully edit all Present Characters fields

- Fixed Info Box display to use committedTrackerData as fallback after page refresh
- Fixed Present Characters display to use committedTrackerData as fallback after page refresh
- Fixed 4-part character format handling in updateCharacterField to preserve thoughts
- Ensures Recent Events and all tracker data persist correctly across page reloads
Character names containing regex special chars (like brackets) were
causing 'Invalid regular expression' errors when building character
thoughts HTML. Now properly escapes characters before RegExp creation.
- Updated month/weekday/year field handlers to check for both 'Date:' and '🗓️:' formats
- Field updates now preserve the existing format (text or emoji)
- New date lines created in text format to match current standard
- Updated all field type checks (temperature, time, location) for dual-format support
- Fixes issue where editing date fields didn't update the prompt
PROBLEM (from Salixfire's debug logs):
- Parser successfully extracted 5 characters
- Log showed complete characters array
- Log stopped abruptly before "✓ HTML rendered to container"
- This indicates exception thrown during HTML building (lines 217-281)
DIAGNOSIS:
- Parsing works perfectly (5 characters extracted)
- Code crashes somewhere in the HTML building loop
- User sees placeholder because exception prevents HTML from rendering
- No error logs because crash happens silently
LIKELY CAUSES:
- getGroupMembers() throwing exception
- Character avatar lookup failing
- getSafeThumbnailUrl() failing
- Missing null checks
SOLUTION:
Added comprehensive error handling and debug logging:
1. Added logging before HTML building starts
- "Starting HTML generation for N characters"
- This confirms code reaches HTML building phase
2. Wrapped each character in try-catch
- Logs each character being processed: "Building HTML for character 1/5: Lady Julia"
- Prevents one character error from crashing entire function
- Code continues with other characters even if one fails
3. Added detailed avatar lookup logging:
- "Looking up avatar for: {name}"
- "In group chat, checking group members..."
- "Group members count: N"
- "Found avatar in group members/all characters/current character"
- Shows final avatar URL (first 50 chars)
4. Wrapped getGroupMembers() in try-catch
- Catches group-specific errors
- Logs error but continues with regular character lookup
5. Added success/error logging for each character:
- "✓ Successfully built HTML for {name}"
- "✗ ERROR building HTML for {name}: {error.message}"
- Logs full error stack for debugging
6. Added completion log:
- "Finished building all character cards"
- Confirms loop completed successfully
EXPECTED OUTCOME:
Next debug log from Salixfire will show EXACTLY:
- Which character is causing the crash (if any)
- What operation is failing (avatar lookup, HTML building, etc.)
- Full error message and stack trace
- Whether code completes or crashes
This will allow us to identify and fix the root cause.
Files changed:
- src/systems/rendering/thoughts.js: Added try-catch blocks and comprehensive logging
- Changed time display to show timeEnd (second time in range) instead of timeStart
- Clock now displays 14:22 instead of 14:07 when time format is '14:07 → 14:22'
- Falls back to timeStart if timeEnd not available, then to '12:00' default
PROBLEM (reported by Salixfire):
- Present Characters panel showing placeholder instead of actual characters
- Thought bubbles work correctly but main panel doesn't
- Need to toggle settings off/on to get thoughts to appear
- No way to debug on mobile devices
CHANGES:
1. Added comprehensive debug logging to renderThoughts() (src/systems/rendering/thoughts.js):
- Log when function is called and with what data
- Log each line being parsed and how many parts it has
- Log character extraction (emoji, name, traits, relationship, thoughts)
- Log why characters are accepted or rejected
- Log final character count and whether showing placeholder
- All logs visible in mobile-friendly debug panel
2. Fixed toggle to refresh content (index.js:283-291):
- When user toggles "Show Present Characters" on, now calls renderThoughts()
- Previously only showed/hid container without refreshing content
- This ensures panel displays latest data when toggled
3. Normalized parsing logic (src/systems/rendering/thoughts.js:111):
- Changed renderThoughts() to require >= 3 parts (was >= 2)
- Now matches updateChatThoughts() requirement
- Consistent with current prompt format: Emoji:Name | Relationship | Thoughts
- Removed 2-part format fallback code (unreachable now)
- Both functions now use same validation rules
EXPECTED OUTCOME:
- User can enable debug mode and see exactly what data is being parsed
- Toggle will properly refresh the panel content
- We can diagnose from debug logs why placeholder is shown
- More consistent behavior between main panel and thought bubbles
Debug logs will help us identify:
- If characterThoughts data is empty/malformed when renderThoughts() is called
- If parsing is rejecting valid character data
- If there's a timing issue with data availability
- What the actual AI response format looks like
Related to previous commit (37878fc) that added debug mode toggle.
- Added parsedFields tracking to prevent parsing the same field twice
- Split combined if conditions into separate checks for text vs emoji format
- Text format (Temperature:, Time:, etc.) is now parsed first and preferred
- Emoji format (��️:, 🕒:, etc.) only parsed if text format not found
- Prevents duplicate entries when AI generates both formats in output
- Fixes duplicate Temperature, Time, Location lines in tracker data
- Use SillyTavern macros ({{persona}}, {{description}}, {{personality}}) for character context
- Fix preset restoration after tracker generation using /preset command
- Fix weather editing bug by tracking specific weather line index
- Support both emoji and text formats for Info Box field editing
- Remove unused showdown import and fix missing semicolons
