Nova Banner System

The Nova Banner System is a modular UI component that provides mood-aware notifications and status updates. It integrates with Nova's mood engine to display contextually relevant messages that reflect Nova's current state and emotional awareness.

• Mood-aware Messaging: Displays messages that adapt to Nova's current mood state
• Dynamic Content: Messages are generated using Nova's current mood data
• Contextual Awareness: Shows relevant system status and observations
• Auto-hide: Messages automatically disappear after a set duration
• Closeable: Users can dismiss messages manually

The banner system configuration is loaded from window.bannerConfig and supports the following options:

• showOnLoad - Boolean. Whether to show a banner when the page loads. Default: false
• autoHide - Boolean. Whether banners automatically hide after their duration. Default: true
• closeable - Boolean. Whether banners can be manually closed. Default: true
• randomize - Boolean. Whether to randomly select messages from the available pool. Default: true

Messages are organized by type (info, warn) and each message object supports these properties:

• message - String. The message template using mood variables (e.g., {mood.emoji}, {mood.quote})
• duration - Number. Time in milliseconds before auto-hide. Default: 8000
• mood - String. The mood type this message is associated with (any, positive, neutral, negative)

window.bannerConfig = {
  // Main configuration
  showOnLoad: false,          // Show banner on page load
  autoHide: true,            // Banners auto-hide after duration
  closeable: true,           // Banners can be manually closed
  randomize: true,           // Randomly select messages

  // Mood message configuration
  messages: {
    // Info messages (normal system status)
    info: [
      {
        message: "Nova is currently experiencing {mood.aura} energy. {mood.quote}",
        duration: 8000,      // Display for 8 seconds
        mood: "any"          // Can be shown for any mood
      },
      {
        message: "{mood.emoji} {mood.observation}. Current state: {mood.internalState}.",
        duration: 7000,      // Display for 7 seconds
        mood: "positive"     // Only shown for positive moods
      }
    ],

    // Warning messages (system alerts)
    warn: [
      {
        message: "{mood.emoji} {mood.context.trigger}. Current state: {mood.internalState}. Please be aware.",
        duration: 12000,     // Display for 12 seconds
        mood: "neutral"      // Only shown for neutral moods
      }
    ]
  },

  // Mood mapping (optional)
  moodMap: {
    "frosted wonder": "info",    // Map specific moods to banner types
    "crystalline flux": "info",
    "glitchy resonance": "warn"
  }
};

The banner system supports the following mood variables in message templates:

• {mood.emoji} - Current mood emoji (e.g., ❄️ for frosted wonder)
• {mood.quote} - Current mood quote
• {mood.aura} - Current mood aura state
• {mood.internalState} - Current system state
• {mood.observation} - Current system observation
• {mood.context.trigger} - Current context trigger
• {mood.context.influences} - Current influences affecting mood

For more advanced configuration, you can:

• Define custom mood types and their mappings
• Create mood-specific message pools
• Adjust duration and timing for different message types
• Control when and how messages are displayed

• Ensure banner-config.js is loaded before banner.js
• Messages are automatically sanitized for security
• Fallback messages are used if mood data is unavailable
• Configuration is cached for performance

The banner system integrates with Nova's mood data to display contextually relevant messages. It uses the following mood properties:

• mood.emoji - Current mood emoji
• mood.quote - Current mood quote
• mood.aura - Current mood aura state
• mood.internalState - Current system state
• mood.observation - Current system observation
• mood.context.trigger - Current context trigger

• Nova Mood Engine
• Nova Whisper Engine
