 # @convai/embody
 
+## 0.3.0
+
+### Minor Changes
+
+- f9d8f06: Characters now look at you, and their mouths move by default.
+
+  Four fixes, all of which change what a character does with no code change on
+  the consumer's side. Minor rather than patch because default behaviour moves
+  and one interface gained a member.
+
+  **Lipsync worked only if you brought your own client.** `createSession` never
+  set `enableLipsync`, and the server sends no blendshape frames unless asked —
+  so the zero-config path, `<ConvaiCharacter apiKey characterId />`, connected,
+  replied, played audio and never moved its mouth. It worked when an app built
+  its own `ConvaiClient` and passed `client`, because then the app supplied the
+  flag. That asymmetry was recorded for weeks as "staging emits no blendshapes";
+  it was never the environment. `createSession` now defaults `enableLipsync:
+true` and `blendshapeConfig: { format: 'mha' }`, with your config spread last
+  so you can still disable it or choose another format.
+
+  **The head aimed past its target by the rig's rest tilt.** The look angle was
+  solved in the head's parent frame but applied composed onto the head's rest
+  pose — two different frames. On a rig whose bones rest at identity they
+  coincide, which is why no test caught it; on a real MetaHuman the head settled
+  17–20° above a level camera, chin up, while reporting itself on target.
+
+  **The eyes tracked the head's own turn instead of the target.**
+  `EyeGazeSystem` read `GazeSystem.direction`, which is how far the head has
+  turned from neutral, when the eyes need how far the head is _still_ off target.
+  Those diverge exactly when the head is aimed at you — so the eyes rolled
+  further the way the head had already gone, and a character looking straight at
+  you stared past you. Measured on a live body, `eyeLookUp` sat pinned at 0.203
+  for ever.
+
+  **New:** a face material pass, on by default. The defect it fixes is in the
+  exports rather than in any app: the teeth material arrives with its albedo
+  unbound, so glTF loaders never materialise the `Teeth` image the file ships and
+  the mouth renders as one flat white slab. The pass fetches it through the glTF
+  parser, tags it sRGB, makes the mouth unlit so it reads the same in sun and
+  shade, and adds a catchlight to eyeballs that have a lighting model. Pass
+  `faceMaterials: false` to leave every material exactly as the GLB shipped it.
+
+  ### Breaking
+
+  `GazeSource` gained a required `residual` member. If you implement that
+  interface yourself — rather than consuming `GazeSystem` — you now need to
+  supply it. `direction` is unchanged, and `BlinkSystem` still reads it: lids
+  follow the head's deflection from neutral, eyes follow the residual, and one
+  field could not serve both.
+
+## 0.2.1
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- Add a `default` condition to the package exports map.
+
+  The map previously declared only `types` and `import`, so any resolver using
+  CommonJS semantics could not resolve the package at all — Jest's default
+  resolver failed to resolve `@convai/embody/react` even to mock it, and
+  Next.js's `next/dynamic` build transform (which resolves its target via
+  `require.resolveWeak`) failed with "Package path './react' is not exported".
+  The first real consumer needed three separate workarounds for this one
+  omission. `default` points at the same ESM files; resolvers that only need
+  resolution now succeed, and runtimes with `require(esm)` can load them.
+

+ * Ported from the pagoda-act scene, where every value below was arrived at by

+ * lipsync layer in `src/speech/lipsync.ts` is the other half of the same work;

+ *           and is already here.
+ *   SHADE — the arches must be textured and lit like a mouth interior. That is
+ *           this file, and without it the mouth renders as one flat slab.
+ *
+ * Two distinct defects, both shading:
+ *
+ *  · THE EYES READ DEAD. Exports ship the eyeball as a matte-ish dielectric
+ *    with no wet dome, so there is no catchlight. A real eye is a glossy
+ *    sphere under a near-mirror cornea; with no specular highlight the viewer
+ *    reads plastic no matter how well the gaze tracks.
+ *  · THE TEETH READ TOO BRIGHT. A real mouth sits in shadow. Darkening the
+ *    enamel and cutting its lighting response is what finally allows an honest
+ *    jaw opening — open vowels then show a shadowed glimpse of the upper row
+ *    instead of a bright white band.
+ *
+ * TWO DELIBERATE DEVIATIONS from the original, both because this is a library
+ * and that was one scene:
+ *
+ *  1. No cross-character texture sharing. The original keeps a module-level
+ *     `sharedTeethMap` so a character whose export ships no teeth image can
+ *     borrow one from whoever else is mounted. Two characters in one scene can
+ *     afford that. A package cannot: `CharacterHandle.dispose()` frees every

+ *     character that is still using it, and the failure would appear on an
+ *     unrelated character at an unrelated time. Each character gets its own
+ *     map or none.
+ *  2. Replaced materials are disposed here, not leaked. Swapping a lit teeth
