TEAMS.md §7.3. Each qualifying Team gets a Discord voice channel of its own
and a role that opens it, kept in step by a reconciler that rides the Team
reconcile it already depends on.
Access is a per-Team ROLE, always. §7.3 designed per-member overwrites with
escalation to a role above ~90 members; the org lead settled on roles always
(2026-08-18), which deletes `voice_overwrite_max`, the escalation and the
`mode` column — and moves the ceiling. Overwrites are capped per channel, so
the old shape's limit was "how big can one Team be"; roles are capped per
guild at 250, so the new one is "how many Teams can have voice at all". That
is a limit an operator must be told about before they hit it, so the panel
reports it and the pass refuses the create rather than letting Discord do it.
Three things §7.3 named that this codebase does not have, all settled by
asking the operator because nothing in the data model can answer:
- "the staff role" — there is no staff-role concept anywhere. Now a list of
role ids the admin designates; empty is a normal answer, since guild
administrators bypass overwrites and what is really missing is a way to
let NON-admin staff in.
- the parent category — §7.3 said the bot creates it and gave the id nowhere
to live (`team_integrations.team_id` is NOT NULL). The bot creates it and
the server stores the id in settings.
- whether the bot can act at all — nothing has ever checked. The operator
invites the bot by hand and no invite URL with a permission integer exists
in the tree, so a deployment can be one unticked box from every call
failing. A preflight is now a PRECONDITION to enabling (422), not a
per-Team error discovered afterwards.
Two more, decided rather than asked:
- the threshold counts every active member, not linked ones. §7.3 wrote
`voice_min_linked_members`; the operator is judging whether a Team is real,
and link state answers a different question.
- hidden Teams are never provisioned. A channel name is a game-sourced string
published outside the site, which is exactly §2.8's concern —
reservedNames.js already names "and eventually a Discord channel name" as a
surface it protects — so the screen that suppresses a Team's page suppresses
its channel, and a Team that becomes hidden takes the grace window.
Turning voice OFF tears nothing down: the pass suspends in both directions and
the panel offers per-row removal. A checkbox must not delete structure in
somebody's guild.
Fixes a phase 8 defect that blocks this phase's own artifact: `npm run swagger`
has been unable to run on `edge` at all. `param('teamId').custom((v) => ... ||
/^[0-9]+$/.test(v))` makes swagger-autogen's parser run away — a regex literal
followed directly by `.test(`. Hoisted to a const, as modules.router.js
already does. Underneath it, `teams.router.js` sits exactly at that parser's
per-file limit: at twenty `teamsRouter.*` statements it dies, at nineteen it
generates, and one more statement of ANY shape tips it — an unannotated route
does, and so does a bare `use`. So the voice routes are their own router file
mounted from `admin/index.js`, and teams.router.js keeps its nineteen.
Also breaks a require cycle this phase would have introduced:
teamSync -> teamVoiceSync -> teams.model -> teamSync left `teams.model` holding
the reconciler's exports object as it stood mid-load — the empty one, since
`module.exports = {…}` replaces rather than fills. The symptom is not in the
new code: it is `teamSync.intervalSeconds is not a function` thrown out of
`syncStatus()`, the freshness banner on every public Team page.
Tests: 1160 server (+40), 53 bot (+21), 284 client (+21). Swagger, routes
manifest and guards regenerated; the guard shape of the four new routes is
byte-identical to the existing admin-only ones.

The same Team event as §6, delivered a third time: push, email, and now a
Discord channel the operator configured. Not a second pipeline — teamNotify.js
already computed the recipient set once, so the bridge is a sink beside the two
that were there.
The design's gate has no data source. §7.2 bridges an event only if "its
visibility is public, or its destination channel is configured for a
members-only Team context". The four team.* streams carry no visibility; forum
threads have no public/members column because a forum is members-only by
construction; and core cannot see a Discord channel's permissions. So §7.2's own
example config names exactly the two events that are never public.
The gate is therefore an attributed operator acknowledgement, in the shape
teams_forum_uploads_ack already uses. It is a precondition — 422, not a quiet
drop at delivery — it is re-asked at delivery as well as at the save, and
changing the channel clears it, because an acknowledgement is about a
destination and cannot survive the destination changing underneath it.
The design's DDL cannot hold its own default row: MariaDB coerces every PRIMARY
KEY column to NOT NULL, so `team_id NULL` — the deployment-wide default every
override overrides — is unrepresentable. Proved on a real MariaDB (error 1048).
Replaced with a surrogate id, a generated team_key AS IFNULL(team_id, 0) in the
unique key, and the foreign key the original had no room for.
One-shot, not queued: "identical to announce and mod-reverse" names two
different reliability models, and a Team notification is the moment it
describes.

Phase 7 of TEAMS.md. `api.registerSlashCommands` stops throwing: a module
registers a command's DEFINITION and its HANDLER together, the bot pulls the
definitions over the internal listener and runs none of our code, and the
handler executes here — forced by the bot container having no `modules` volume,
and the right boundary anyway.
Registration validates what Discord would reject as a batch (names, description
lengths, the four option types, required-before-optional), because the bot
registers the whole set in one PUT and a single bad entry costs every command
including the bot's own. Commands are not namespaced under their owner — there
is no dot in Discord's name grammar — so collisions are first-come with the
holder named.
The dispatcher is the access boundary: `linked` has no Discord equivalent, so
the platform-side permission default can only ever be advertising. It resolves
the actor by `auth_providers.kind` rather than the id slug, treats a banned
account as unlinked, bounds a handler under the bot's own timeout, and keeps
`ok` outside the envelope so a handler cannot forge it.
Liveness is asked at both the pull and the dispatch. The registries have no
removal path, so a module an operator disables at runtime would otherwise keep
a live handler behind a command Discord still advertises.

Players whose linked Discord identity was banned or muted can now submit
an appeal from the portal and track it; staff get a queue in the admin
moderation section to claim and resolve (approve/deny) appeals. Approving
a ban/mute appeal best-effort asks the Discord bot to reverse the action
(unban / clear timeout) via the internal API and posts a mod-log embed; a
down bot never fails the resolution (reversal_status is recorded).
- Schema: new server-owned `appeals` table (no cross-owner FK to
mod_actions; existence validated in app code).
- Server: model/appeals/* + player appeals controller (submit/mine/
eligible/withdraw) and admin queue handlers (list/claim/resolve/
per-user) under the existing admin+moderator gate; one-active-appeal
enforced app-side; eligibility keyed on the caller's linked Discord id.
- 6d: bot POST /internal/mod-reverse (+ modLog.postReversal) and
server botInternalClient.reverseModAction, wired into resolve().
- Client: admin Appeals queue + resolve modal, ModerationUser appeals
tab, player Appeals page (submit/withdraw), nav + routes + api methods.
- Docs: swagger annotations + component schemas, regenerated output.
- Tests: appeals controller + pure suites (server npm test 224 green).

Replace the fire-and-forget Discord-only announce on publish with a
retry-safe, two-leg pipeline. When a post transitions into published-news
(false→true publish while in news, or category→news while published), an
announce_jobs row is enqueued with two INDEPENDENT delivery legs:
• town crier — sidecar POST /towncrier via uoLinkClient (stable id
`post-<id>` so a retry replaces rather than duplicates)
• discord — bot POST /internal/announce via botInternalClient
(single source of truth for the #news channel stays in the bot)
An in-process poller (utils/announceWorker) sweeps the table every
ANNOUNCE_POLL_MS and dispatches each due leg with its own exponential
backoff (30s→2h, 6 attempts). A leg is retried on transient failures
(503/504/network) and failed fast on data/config errors (400 over-cap,
401/409). Publishing never blocks on the sidecar or Discord — enqueue is
local DB only. Parent `status` is a done/partial/failed rollup of the two
legs; posts.announced_at is stamped once both deliver.
Admin visibility: GET /admin/posts/:id/announce + a per-leg Retry
(POST .../announce/retry) surfaced in the PostEditor for news posts.
Pure decisions (text build/caps, classification, backoff, rollup) live in
announceJobs.logic and are unit-tested (server/test/announceJobs.test.js,
10 tests). The old manual /admin/uo-link/towncrier form is untouched.

Standalone bot/ service (its own package.json/Dockerfile) managed entirely
through a new admin-only Discord Bot panel — token stored encrypted in the
DB and pushed to the bot process in-memory, never an env var. Built in
phases, each independently verified against a live Discord guild:
- Bot skeleton: gateway connection, internal shared-secret API, self-heals
on its own restart by pulling config from the site
- Moderation core: /ban /kick /mute /warn /warnings + mod-log channel
- Word/invite/spam filtering with leetspeak-resistant normalization and a
staff role/channel allowlist
- Scheduled messages: recurring (cron) and one-off channel posts
- Role assignment: button role menus, auto-role on join, temp roles,
bulk role ops
- Auto-rotating primary invite with an audit log
- Site integration: news-publish -> Discord announce webhook, manual
/announce, read-only /wiki search
Also fixes a pre-existing bug in both DB pools (server + bot): the mariadb
driver defaulted to timezone 'local', silently mis-serializing bound Date
params by the host's local offset instead of the DB's UTC session.
