SYSTEMS Desktop Pets
====================

Extract the entire ZIP. Close any older Desktop Pets window and open SYSTEMS Desktop Pets.exe in the new folder. Terminal and Slinky can roam Windows immediately.

For optional tab play, load the Browser Tab Mischief folder once in Edge or Chrome: open edge://extensions or chrome://extensions, turn on Developer mode, choose Load unpacked, and select that folder. Keep the extracted folder in place. The updated desktop companion connects automatically; no pairing code or startup switch is needed.

The pets can occasionally carry an eligible inactive tab to a new spot. Open the add-on to try Move this tab now, leave a tab alone, or pause random visits. Closing is separate: grant permission only to a tab you are willing to close. Pets will not close the active tab, a playing tab, or the last tab in a window. Permission is for that exact URL and expires when the browser closes. SYSTEMS and pinned tabs are protected. Tab closing does not save unfinished work.

The add-on uses the browser's native messaging connection to the companion, which communicates over a Windows pipe restricted to the current user. It checks tab titles and addresses; it does not read page contents. No campaign data or invite links are included. The browser add-on is optional and does not affect SYSTEMS or the iPhone app.
