Faction Selection

The EVA voice alternates between factions based on the current hour:

- Odd hours (1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23) → Allied EVA (English)
- Even hours (0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22) → Soviet EVA (Russian accent)

How It Works

This package installs Cursor hooks that:

1. Listen for agent events (tool use, file edits, shell commands, etc.)
2. Play appropriate Red Alert 2 EVA voice lines via afplay
3. Queue audio to prevent overlapping when multiple events fire simultaneously
4. Return proper JSON responses to allow Cursor to continue

Files are installed to ~/.cursor/hooks/ra2-eva/ and configured in ~/.cursor/hooks.json`.
