Clauddy: turn a MiniToo into a physical coding-status notifier

Reuses the finished pixel display's custom clock faces for animated working, waiting-for-feedback and idle states, switched by coding-session hooks over Bluetooth.

What the hardware does

Bluetooth switches the physical pixel display between working, waiting and idle faces.

How the agent helped

Creator's first-person post explicitly describes giving Opus the Android APK to reverse engineer and reporting device crashes during iteration. Linked repository documents the resulting Bluetooth daemon, image tooling and working status application.

Before you build

macOS only; working-draft, reverse-engineered protocol. Text and repository were reviewed, but the embedded demonstration video did not play.
