Improvements

• Improved Niebla’s personality to feel more like a friendly, affectionate pet while keeping occasional strange or unsettling remarks.
• Improved language consistency so Niebla does not randomly switch between Spanish, English, or Portuguese.

• Pet-specific context is now sent to the AI so Niebla can behave slightly differently as a dog or cat.
• Improved compatibility with existing configuration files.
