  • The wallet asks you first. Wallet settings that loosen what can be paid (raising a spending cap, switching to Mainnet, turning on a payment channel, adding an AI endpoint) now ask for your wallet PIN, password or Touch ID. Turning things off never asks.
  • Hide or show the pet. Settings has a Hide pet / Show pet switch, and hiding it leaves nothing behind on screen.

Builder activity

Bars: meaningful, source-backed ships per week (count). Weeks run Monday to Sunday, UTC, labelled by their Monday. Commits are aggregated, a code week counted once. Hatched: 4 weeks before HEY began reading this project’s sources — not yet read, not zero.

Build timeline

A code week counts as building when a commit HEY looked inside changed code; one is enough, so HEY stops there.
