From caf9ad806a964b4900e83fecaeb45976c0e61191 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jared Vititoe Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2026 23:35:47 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] 8ball: romantic-question-aware fallbacks for Wynter branches When Wynter asks a romantic question about Jared ("is he in love with me", "does he miss me", etc.) the LLM fallback now explicitly denies the premise instead of giving a generic Jared-wins response.
