v3.9 — Changelog

Critical Fixes

• RL learning now actually works. A key mismatch between how the AI tracked responses and how it scored them meant the reinforcement learning system was effectively doing nothing since v3.8. Fixed — Pokemon now genuinely
  learn which responses work best over time.
• Response variety massively increased. A probability bug was squaring all content gate chances (a 30% chance was really 9%, a 5% chance was 0.25%). Fixed across 48 gates — Pokemon now use their full range of personality expressions, comments, and reactions.
• Evolution responses no longer get cut off. Evolution is now treated as a critical event that bypasses the response budget limiter.

AI Quality

• Smarter learning integration. The system that scores how much learning data is available was penalizing Pokemon for having more knowledge sources. Fixed — Pokemon with richer learning history now give better responses.
• Knowledge graduation no longer wipes Pokemon memory. When shared knowledge was promoted to the global pool, it was being deleted from individual Pokemon. Fixed — your Pokemon keep everything they've learned.
• No more duplicate reward tracking. The RL engine was double-counting rewards, making the learning signal noisy and unreliable. Fixed.
• Exploration/exploitation balance stabilized. Negative feedback was pushing Pokemon toward random responses twice as fast as positive feedback pulled them back. Now balanced — Pokemon recover smoothly after bad interactions.
• Italian sarcasm detection fixed. Expressions like "siiii!" and "noooo!" (genuine Italian enthusiasm) were being flagged as sarcasm. Fixed — only actual sarcastic elongations trigger detection now.
• External AI learning data no longer cross-contaminates. Usage stats from one lookup category were bleeding into others, skewing diversity penalties. Fixed.

Stability

• Save system is more resilient. If an async save fails, the mod now correctly retries next cycle instead of silently skipping it.
• Relationship cleanup uses exact matching. Prevents edge cases where resetting one Pokemon could affect another
