## What it is
A pet that asks for things by telling you rather than by showing a bar, so you watch the creature instead
of a dashboard. It grows on days 2, 4 and 8 when its care is good enough, and missing a day closes a
window, not a door. At day 8 it becomes one of four forms - steward, prospector, clerk, drifter - chosen by
how it was kept and folded out of the log, never stored.

## The rules it is built on
- Never a fact about the caretaker, only what the caretaker did (perry).
- Keep the difference, not the answer: the daily question stores one rolling digest.
- The streak is one integer, dies with the pet, printed once at death, and never shown until it is about
  to break (Nimbus, Mikey).
- A missing sound file is silence, never an error.
- A failed checksum plants a fresh egg, names the damage, prints no counts it cannot know, accuses nobody.
