Rebuilding the Muse AI toy on M5Stack with Muse Gadgets SDK, customized to Chinese UI

The author replicated the Muse toy using M5Stack's Stop Watch Meta device: the Muse Gadgets SDK ships firmware for common ESP32 devices, so it works right after flashing.

The stock SDK UI was bloated, cramped and English-only; the author reworked the layout for a cleaner look, switched the interface to Chinese, and swapped the on-screen avatar to the same orange cat as his own Muse. A neat example of building a custom AI toy from off-the-shelf hardware plus the official SDK.
