# IdleSpectator

WorldBox NeoModLoader mod: AFK Idle Spectator camera director.

## Controls

- **I** - toggle Idle Spectator on/off
- **F9** - toggle Character Chronicle side panel (non-modal; works with focus)
- Dragging the camera while Spectator is on turns it off (after a short grace period)

## What it follows

The camera follows **ranked events** from live feeds (wars, fights, relationships, buildings, statuses, plots, …).
`EventStrength` decides who wins; quieter events still take the shot when nothing stronger is pending.
Character fill only runs when the event queue is empty (no orange reason; task chip shows the live job).

While watching, a **character beat caption** shows who they are (Identity), an orange **event sentence** (Beat), and muted Context (story spine or open stake).
Main characters get `Name · Title` when they have a real role; tips may gain a self-explanatory relation clause.
See [`docs/life-saga.md`](docs/life-saga.md) and [`docs/event-reason.md`](docs/event-reason.md).

Lingering on someone writes a **Chronicle** line; F9 lists them and click jumps the camera.
