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.

Path 3's WRITE half. The resolver landed in phase 2; this is who may hand access
out, to whom, and what stops a leader turning a Team forum into open hosting on
the operator's site.
Two authorities, and not one authority with different reach. Staff may act on any
Team, uncapped, and may revoke anything. A leader may grant and revoke ordinary
access on their own Team, is capped at `teams_max_grants_per_team` (default 50),
is rate-limited, and may NOT revoke a staff-issued grant — which is what stops a
leader undoing a moderation decision. The issuer's role is checked at revoke time
rather than stored, so an account that has since lost its staff role stops
protecting the grants it made.
Nothing on this path writes team_members, in either direction. A grant may name any
account, including one with no linked game identity — that is the point of it — and
that account stays off the roster, out of every count, and ineligible for external
platforms.
Announcements are a degenerate thread rather than their own object, so phase 5 adds
no migration. Moderation records WHICH authority was exercised: a staff action also
writes activity_log, a leader's writes only the Team's own ledger. Merging the two
would make a guild leader locking a thread an appealable Discord sanction.
Every forum route answers 404 while the switch is off, and 404 — never 403 — to a
caller with no access: in a private room the contents and the existence are the
same secret. The grant routes deliberately answer even while the forum is OFF,
because a toggle-off revokes no grant and the access list has to stay manageable.
Under /player rather than /admin: a leader is a player, and the /admin tier gate is
requireRole('admin','editor','moderator') — putting a leader endpoint behind it
would mean widening that gate.
