Thirteen commands, and the only list of them was a README table nobody in a
Signal group can read — which had itself gone stale two releases earlier,
still advertising four commands after nine more had shipped. 0.1.1 gave each
command an output that says what the command is; that only helps once you
already know to type it.
!pomoc (also !pomocy, !help, !komendy, !commands) prints all fourteen,
grouped, one Polish line each.
The interesting part is that it cannot go stale. CommandRegistry.register now
takes the description as a REQUIRED argument, so a command that does not
explain itself does not compile; and render_help prints any command that
help_command.GROUPS forgot to file, under no heading, rather than dropping
it. Two independent ways to fail closed, because the README proved that a
hand-maintained second list is a list that drifts.
Command also gained `primary`, the first raw alias. The trigger set could not
supply it: those are folded skeletons in an unordered frozenset, so all that
survives of "!papież" there is "!papiez", and the styled Unicode aliases come
out as zalgo. aliases.json already lists the canonical Polish spelling first.
The full trigger table moves to DOCS-commands.md. It did not fit in README —
that file was already sitting exactly on the shared 250-line cap, and the
gate caught the overflow on the first commit attempt.
Exercised in testbot at the unbumped version before this bump: the live
dispatcher ran it and posted the list, journal clean. pytest 708 green at
100% branch coverage, e2e green including a new scenario that asserts !pomoc
mentions a command registered by a different module.

Reported from the group: the same "Najczęściej piszesz między 12:00 a
13:00" line came back for Mithra and for Michał Faron, which is too much
of a coincidence to be a statistic.
It was the backfill. The 342 messages carried over from the pre-0.1.0
counter have no timestamps, so the seeded rows got a placeholder hour of
12 -- and favourite_hour was the one query that never excluded the
backfilled day. For every person those synthetic noons outnumbered every
real message they had sent since, so all seven got the same answer. The
genuine hours are 19-21: this group talks in the evening.
The comment above that placeholder said "the day is marked anyway, so
nothing that cares about hours will read these", which is exactly the
kind of reasoning that stops being true the moment somebody adds a
query. So the fix is not another `exclude` argument to remember: the
absent hour is now -1, which no real hour can be, and hour queries
filter `local_hour >= 0`. Forgetting the exclusion can no longer invent
an answer, and night_owl gets the same guard even though its 0..2 window
happened to miss the old placeholder.
Live database migrated with the service stopped and a backup taken: 342
rows moved from noon to unknown. Verified afterwards on the real data --
Mithra 19:00, Michał Faron 19:00, kuhy 20:00, and the two people whose
only messages are backfilled correctly get no hour line at all.
Not released. Sitting at 0.1.1 until kuhy says otherwise.

Two things the group hit within minutes of 0.1.0, both reported by real
users rather than found by a test.
Somebody typed !korona, got "Za mało danych — wróć za kilka dni." and
nothing else. That answer tells them neither what the command does nor
what it will eventually show, which makes it worse than useless on a
release day when almost every command is empty by design. Every command
now leads with what it is, and the empty answer says what it will show
once there is history and which date it is counting from.
And somebody asked whether "Najczęściej piszesz o 12:00" meant the whole
hour 12-13. It did, and the label did not say so. It now reads "między
12:00 a 13:00". Same fix in kind for the nightly summary line, which
said "średnio 47 znaków" without saying per what -- now "na wiadomość".
A one-line wording fix takes the next pope exactly like a feature does,
per DOCS-changelog.md. Exercised in testbot at the unbumped version
first: !korona, !ja, !dni and !rekordy all ran clean.

!staty, !wczoraj, !tydzień, !miesiąc, !rok, !rekordy, !korona, !dni and
!ja, under 29 triggers with both Polish spellings of each.
None takes an argument. registry.resolve matches the whole folded body
against a trigger, so "!ja mithra" resolves to nothing; teaching it to
split on whitespace would silently make "!kot pls" fire where today it
does nothing. Each question gets its own trigger instead.
!wczoraj renders through the same code path as the nightly post, which
is not a convenience: the bot cannot trigger its own 21:37 report, so
without byte-identical output there is no way to check the headline
feature of this release short of waiting for the evening.
Two guards worth naming:
- test_every_trigger_is_unique builds the whole registry.
DuplicateTriggerError subclasses ValueError, and ValueError is in
startup_retry.RETRYABLE -- so a colliding alias would not crash the
bot, it would retry forever logging "signal-cli not reachable yet".
Checked at test time instead of never.
- No trigger may contain a digit: fold() maps 0134578 onto letters, so
"!7dni" would resolve as "!tdni". Also asserted.
Every command answers on an empty history rather than crashing, which is
the state the group will actually be in for the next few days: records,
the crown and the weekday table all say "za mało danych" because their
only day so far is the backfilled one, and they exclude it.
Verified against a copy of the live database -- all nine render
correctly on the real group's data.
One test bug caught while writing it: it seeded "today" and excluded
2026-08-30, which on the day it was written were the same date, so it
passed for the wrong reason. Fixed dates now.
