Every Tier 5 treasure line said the Abyssal Maw, whichever zone the drop
came from. A find in Dragon's Lair announced itself as the Maw while
Pete's dispatch, which reads the real location off the fact, named the
Lair. Two tellings of one moment that disagreed about where it happened.
Substitute the location instead, in the room announce and the discovery
DM both. {location_mid} lowercases the leading article so a line reads
"found in the Abyssal Maw" after a preposition; {location} keeps the
display form for sentence-initial and "The {location}" positions, which
the T1-T4 pools already rely on.
Tedium-removal pass driven by live play feedback. Three big threads:
Expedition autopilot Phase 4 — background auto-run + harvest-until-dry:
- New expeditionAutoRunTicker walks active expeditions every 15min
(5min tick, per-expedition CAS on new last_autorun_at column). Skips
combat sessions, briefing/recap quiet windows, expeditions <30min old.
- Walks up to 3 rooms/tick with compact narration; suppresses DMs when
0 rooms walked or just hitting the per-tick cap (no "stretch complete"
filler). Player only hears from the bot when a real decision is needed.
- Compact mode: one-line combat narration for trash/elite, auto-resolves
elite doorways via the forward-sim engine (boss still pauses). Threaded
via new advanceOnceWithOpts → resolveRoom → resolveCombatRoom.
- Auto-harvest now grinds each Common/Uncommon node until dry (cap at 8
attempts/visit), mirroring manual !scavenge retries. Rare+ still pauses.
- Ambient ticker: anti-repeat by Kind via new last_ambient_kind column
(avoids two pack_rat DMs in a row when the pool only has 6 lines).
- !expedition go <n> now routes to the fork-choice handler when active +
numeric; fork footer rewritten to suggest !expedition go instead of
!zone go. Boss/Elite doorway: formatNextRoomMessage routes the action
hint by next room type and autopilot loop breaks via new nextRoomType
field so "Room X/Y — Boss" doesn't double-print with contradictory
hints (!zone advance vs !fight).
- runAutopilotWalk extracted from expeditionCmdRun so foreground and
background share the loop body.
Rogue Sneak Attack actually exists now:
- Audit found the rogue's "Sneak Attack" passive was AutoCritFirst +
5% damage rider. No Nd6, ever. Phase 2 Monte Carlo masked this
with a small flat buff; the class's defining mechanic never matched
its tooltip or 5e identity.
- Added SneakAttackDie int to CombatModifiers, per-hit Nd6 in
combat_primitives.go (same lane as DivineStrikePerHit). Scales with
level: 1d6 at L1-2 ... 4d6 at L7-8 ... capped at 10d6 at L19-20.
- AutoCritFirst + 5% rider retained as bonuses on top of working sneak
attack — preserves the opener-burst feel.
- L7 rogue expected per-hit ~8 → ~22 damage. Valdris fight math goes
from "16 rounds to kill, die in 8" to winnable.
TwinBee voice sweep (Phase B3):
- ~530 line changes across 24 files replacing third-person "TwinBee
notes/files/tracks/respects/..." constructions with first-person
inside flavor string literals. Code identifiers (TwinBeeLine,
twinBeeLine, etc.), chat-prefix labels (🎭 **TwinBee:**), item names
(TwinBee's Bell), achievements, and game-title references in
fun.go (Konami TwinBee ship) left intact.
- Catches a real bug: Valdris fight rendered "TwinBee marks the
Legendary Resistance" mid-combat in third person, contradicting
the Phase B2 convention.

- Add forex plugin (Frankfurter v2 API) with rate lookups, analysis,
DM-based alerts, and daily cron poll. Backfills 1 year of history
on startup for moving averages and buy signal scoring.
- Fix bot hang caused by SQLite lock contention in reminder polling:
rows cursor was held open while writing to the same DB. Collect
results first, close cursor, then process. Same fix in milkcarton.
- Add sync retry loop so the bot reconnects after network drops
instead of silently exiting. StopSync() for clean Ctrl+C shutdown.
- Add panic recovery to all dispatch, syncer, and cron paths.
- Make all HTTP-calling plugin commands async (goroutines) so a slow
or dead external API cannot block the message dispatch pipeline.
Affects: lookup, stocks, forex, anime, movies, concerts, gaming,
retro, wotd, urls, howami.
- Extract DisplayName to Base, add db.Exec helper, convert silent
error discards across the codebase.
- Fix UNO mercy-kill bug (eliminated bot continues playing), adventure
DM nag spam, stats column mismatch, per-call regex/replacer allocs.
- Update README: forex commands, Finance section, 47 plugins.
