Some other ideas I had on the villagers:

Some sort of detection for how big the room their bed is in and whether or not it has a door. They might also be happier if they have a light source.

Less willing to trade if they are currently inside a minecart

Cannot have certain trades if their happiness is too low (maybe that enchanted sword is a family heirloom and they don't want to sell it to someone they don't like)

A method of donating resources either to the village or to individual villagers in order to make them more friendly toward you.

Villagers can punch you for a little bit of damage either in self defense or if they just hate you enough.

If a villager is happy enough and you've donated some stuff they'll give you certain low-value items for free. It could be funny if they just walk up to you and throw the item at you, and refuse to elaborate.

Some villagers prefer the nighttime and will prefer to sleep during the day.

Some villagers will be introverted and will prefer to stay inside. They might actually get less happy when other villagers talk to them too much.

Some villagers have pets. You cannot tame them yourself. If you kill a pet the villager who owns it permanently hates you.

Some villagers don't like each other. I have no idea what this could entail. Maybe they just won't ever breed.

This is probably outside the scope of your idea, but it would be cool if some types of villagers did things other than trading. Imagine if some villagers wore armor and guarded the village at night. This could extend to more interesting interactions, like if a village has guards and is attacked by raiders, the villagers could bribe the raiders in order to avoid a fight.

these are so fun!!

wrt villagers not liking each other maybe they also get annoyed if you trade with someone they dislike? although i probably wouldn't want that to affect trade prices just because then you have to keep track of like lines of sight and where everyone is at all times (& ofc the easiest way to do this is a minecart which is kinda antithetical to the point of the rest of the ideas imo)

but maybe they could like, avoid you for a short window of time after they see you trade with a villager they dislike (which would be noticeable but not really punishing since catching up with villagers walking away from you is pretty easy)? or some other such thing

also something kind of related to your last point is that it's already possible for villagers to wear armour if you dispense it on them in vanilla (i'm pretty sure?? and the enchantments also work for them??) so i feel like making that armour visible isn't a super big stretch!! ideally you wouldn't have to dispense it and you could just give it to them and they would put it on. honestly maybe just the way you already do with piglins or zombies or skeletons, with the same rules that they'll take better armour and drop what they're wearing.

although maybe with villagers you'd want a way to ask for it back in case you accidentally give them like your only netherite chestplate (obvs with the hostile mobs you just kill them to get items back but we're trying to avoid player incentives to kill villagers here). probably the easiest way to do this is just be able to access it in the trade menu, but also maybe depending on other factors (or just as a randomly determined trait only some villagers get) the villager will ask for emeralds (to cover the loss) or raise prices temporarily (because you took back a gift and that's rude)
