## f0909172434 / dsh-deepseek-girl-pet

- Upstream project: [f0909172434 / dsh-deepseek-girl-pet](https://github.com/f0909172434/dsh-deepseek-girl-pet)
- Preserved license: [`assets/default/licenses/dsh-deepseek-girl-pet-LICENSE.txt`](assets/default/licenses/dsh-deepseek-girl-pet-LICENSE.txt)
- Applicable terms: MIT License, Copyright (c) 2026 f0909172434

This project directly adapts the upstream desktop-pet state animation, 16-direction pointer tracking, 1.1-second reset behavior, and DSH integration. It changes the integration and styling and makes a click open the Galgame interface.

`assets/default/pet-spritesheet.webp` is a byte-identical copy of the upstream `assets/spritesheet.webp` (SHA-256 `234f24a97c18195a00c6093da0090773e675993c169e92e7e13a24c37b323fa2`) and remains under the same MIT terms.

## Project-produced role artwork

The five non-DeepSeek standing sprites and six `bg-*.png` role backgrounds are unofficial, AI-assisted artwork newly produced for this project, not third-party company art. They are distributed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 to the extent the maintainer holds the applicable rights. The six backgrounds map to DeepSeek, Claude, GPT, Gemini, Kimi, and Grok; the DeepSeek seaside-study scene is an optional built-in alternative, while the other five are their roles' defaults. See [NOTICE.md](NOTICE.md) for the exact file-by-file map.
