VTuber AI Assistant — v0.3.8 Update
====================================
Hey everyone! Dropping a stability + features patch today. A bunch of quality-of-life fixes and two new features you've been asking for.
---
🐛 BUG FIXES
▸ Audio Capture No Longer Steals Focus
The Live Audio Reactions feature was quietly switching your system to "microphone mode" when it couldn't find a monitor/loopback source automatically. It now falls straight to your configured source — no more audio routing surprises.
▸ AI Boost / Premium Voice Branding Cleaned Up
Removed leftover ElevenLabs references from the Steam item store descriptions and a few other places. The credits-powered voice is now consistently called "Premium Voice" throughout.
▸ Steam Item Store Fix
Fixed the item definition JSON — removed a duplicate field and an invalid field that Steam was silently dropping, which caused coin packs to not appear in the Item Store tab. Added a step-by-step publish checklist to the docs so this is easier to manage going forward.

✨ NEW FEATURES
▸ TikTok Live Chat Co-Host [NEW]
Stream Chat now supports TikTok Live! Select ⚫ TikTok Live in the platform dropdown, enter your username (no @ needed), and the AI will read and respond to your live chat — including TikTok gifts (which bypass rate limiting, just like Twitch Bits and YouTube SuperChats).
Note: Requires the app to be updated and the creator to be live at connection time. Works with Multi-Stream mode too.
▸ Tag-Out / AFK Mode [NEW]
Need to take a quick break mid-stream? Hit the 🚩 button in the menu (or bind a hotkey in Settings → Hotkeys) to activate Tag-Out. The AI takes over and keeps the stream alive with natural idle reactions every 60 seconds, choosing from a pool of randomized "holding down the fort" prompts.
Auto-disables if you've spawned a second avatar (dual-VRM mode). One click to return — the button highlights while active so you always know the state.

📋 TECHNICAL
• All toggle settings (audio capture, visual capture, face tracking, stream chat, etc.) now correctly reset to OFF on every launch. Configuration (device IDs, voices, personality) is preserved.
