What issue are you seeing?

The Codex pet overlay is visibly cropped inside its own floating container. This does not appear to be the pet being positioned offscreen or hidden behind another window. The visible edge is a sharp rectangular cutoff through the sprite/overlay, suggesting the pet image/window bounds are too small or an ancestor container has clipping enabled.

In the screenshot, only part of the pet is visible; the rest is clipped by a rectangular boundary even though there is visible space around it in the Codex app window.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

1. Open Codex desktop app on macOS.
2. Summon the Codex pet with /pet.
3. Observe the pet overlay.

Expected behavior

The full pet should be visible inside the floating overlay/window, with enough transparent padding or unclipped bounds for the entire sprite.

Actual behavior

The pet is cropped inside the overlay bounds. Restarting Codex and toggling /pet off/on did not resolve it.

Additional information

This was reported from a Codex desktop thread with a screenshot showing the pet clipped at a hard rectangular edge. The user had already tried the common workarounds: restarting Codex and toggling the pet.
