Levels: XP, level-gated lines and the level-up bubble by NovusEdge · Pull Request #38 · NovusEdge/glowup

NovusEdge · 2026-10-10T15:53:47Z

Answered turns, combos, passing test runs and commits Claude makes earn XP. The XP raises one level shared by every pet and kept across sessions.

What ships

XP per turn: +5 for an answered turn, plus the combo (up to 20), +15 for a red-to-green test run, and +10 for each main-loop git commit (up to 3 per turn). Subagent work earns nothing. An aborted or errored turn keeps only its green and commit XP. Level n needs 100 × n XP to reach n + 1, with no cap.
Unlocks: new lines at levels 2, 4 and 7. Outfits (levels 3, 6, 8) and idle animations (levels 5, 10) are listed as coming soon; their art ships in a follow-up PR.
level-up moment: the eighth bubble moment, on by default. It speaks when a turn crosses a level and names what unlocked, replacing that turn's done line. It also speaks on an aborted or errored turn that crosses a level. If it is turned off in setup, the done line speaks as before.
Display: /glowup level, an opt-in level status line field (Lv 7 ▰▰▰▱▱), and an XP bar on the pane's activity row.
Pet files: @lvN key suffixes for level-gated lines, and an {unlock} slot for level-up lines.
Setups now save as format 3. A stored mood list that holds every moment its old format knew reads as all moments, so existing setups gain level-up.

Testing

pnpm check passes, and claude plugin test . runs 919 tests with 0 failures after the rebase onto main.
Live run in tmux against a scratch config directory:
- XP is earned on real turns.
- /glowup level output is correct.
- The pane row and the status field draw correctly.
- The level-up bubble replaces the done line.
- With level-up off, the done line speaks.
- A commit earns +10.

Walkthrough

The change adds shared pet XP and levels, level-based unlocks and pet messages, level reporting and displays, and a setup format migration for the expanded bubble-mood list.

The hook loads and stores XP, updates the model, and tests cover scoring, levels, and persistence.

A level-up can replace an absent, `done`, or `long-done` moment when enabled.
Level reporting and displays `hooks/command.ts`, `hooks/fields.ts`, `hooks/layout.tsx`, `hooks/pane.tsx`, `hooks/help.ts`, `hooks/register.tsx`, `test/command.test.ts`, `test/fields.test.ts`, `test/pane.test.ts`, `test/configrows.test.ts`, `docs/commands.md`, `docs/statusline.md`, `docs/web/app/landing/Terminal.tsx`, `docs/web/app/studio/StatusSection.tsx`, `.claude-plugin/plugin.json`	The `/glowup level` command reports current progress and unlocks. The status field and pane can display level progress when XP is available.
Setup mood migration `hooks/setup.ts`, `test/setup.test.ts`, `docs/commands.md`, `docs/web/app/studio/SetupControls.tsx`, `CHANGELOG.md`, `.docket/ledger.jsonl`	Setup format 3 adds `level-up`. Complete mood lists known to older formats migrate to the current default; other saved lists remain intact.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 4c1af

Some turns can receive too little XP, a custom level-up message can omit its unlock, and a turn finishing during shutdown can still gain XP. These bounded cases warrant fixes or explicit acceptance before merging.

`{unlock}`, the selected announcement still names the unlock; update the
plain-line fallback assertion in `test/bubbles.test.ts` to match this behavior.

Review comments at @hooks/register.tsx:
- Line 1065: Update the commit-counting logic in the `Bash` tool handler so a
command containing multiple qualifying commits increments `turnGain.commits` for
each one rather than once per matching call. Apply the existing three-commit
turn cap to the resulting count.
- Around line 1123-1128: In the turn.complete handler, re-check off immediately
after await next(e) and return the existing result when disabled, before reading
or writing level or calculating XP; preserve the existing XP flow when glowup
remains enabled.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Keep the unlock in custom level-up announcements.

If a custom pet defines only plain level-up lines, named is empty and this fallback selects a plain line even when v.unlock is set. The level-up bubble then omits the earned unlock. Use an unlock-naming fallback when no custom line contains {unlock}, and update the plain-line fallback assertion in test/bubbles.test.ts.
