The bot stopped posting because sortBy=recent only returned low-discount deals,
and desc=1 was inverting the sort order for savings/DealRating queries. Now fetches
both recent and top-rated deals, merges with dedup. Lowered default thresholds to
20% min discount, 7.0 min rating, and $45 max price.

Following gogobee's auth pattern: if MATRIX_BOT_PASSWORD is set, the bot
persists device credentials to device.json, validates tokens on startup,
re-logs in automatically when tokens expire, and bootstraps cross-signing
so the device shows as verified without manual emoji verification.

and a single static binary. Includes all original functionality (CheapShark,
ITAD, Epic free games, multi-currency pricing, dedup, preflight checks,
presence heartbeat) plus a new watchlist feature where users can DM the bot
to watch for specific game deals with 180-day auto-expiry.
