# SIDEKICK COMPANION — a pet that follows you and emotes how it feels.
#
# Sidekicks are NPC companions with their own moods and reactions. You spawn one
# from an NPC Spawner using a Sidekick character definition, then drive it with
# an npc_behavior. The Sidekick API lives on the npc_sidekick_component, which
# you read off the behavior's ENTITY (GetEntity[].GetComponent[...]).
#
# This companion locks onto its owner, follows them around, and plays a Happy
# reaction the moment it catches up — then forces a permanent cheerful mood so
# it never sulks. You cannot BUILD a sidekick_component in Verse (it's
# epic_internal), but once the spawner gives you one, every method here is public.
