Redesign Select bot grid with per-bot colors and icons#28
Merged
Conversation
- Give each bot a stable identity: color and icon derived from a hash of its name (kid-friendly palette of 7 colors, 6 existing IconSymbol mappings) - Restyle tiles: consistent 2-column grid, white icon centered in a translucent circle chip, bot name centered below on a single line with ellipsis, rounded corners, softer shadow - Selected state keeps the bot's color and adds a white border instead of replacing the background with grey - Friendlier header: larger centered 'Select bot' title with a 'Who do you want to learn with today?' subtitle Selection behavior (AsyncStorage, setBotSelected, haptics, skipAutoSelect) is unchanged.

Add nullable color/icon fields to Bot (API + migration) and a BotAppearancePicker in the simple and advanced bot editors. Select bot grid and parent bots list use the configured values, falling back to the name-hash identity from #28 when unset.

Summary
Redesigns the "Select bot" grid — the screen kids see to pick a tutor bot.
Before: a 2-column grid of oversized cyan tiles where every bot had the same generic chip icon, names were bottom-anchored and wrapped inconsistently ("Science Explorer" wrapped to 2 lines), and the header was plain small text.
After:
IconSymbolMAPPING:cpu,wand.and.sparkles,sparkles,star,mountain.2,text.bubble). No new icon mappings added.numberOfLines={1}ellipsis for long names), rounded corners, softer shadow. Name is white with a subtle text shadow for contrast.Selection behavior is unchanged: AsyncStorage
selectedBot,setBotSelectedcallback, haptics, andskipAutoSelectall work exactly as before. Onlyfront/app/selectBot.tsxwas modified.Screenshots
