Tomorrow's run would have posted four times into the same group: the day
the bot owed from the catch-up, the week that closed inside it, today, and
August's summary. Four notifications in one evening is how a daily tally
becomes something people mute.
They are blocks in a single message now, separated by a rule because Signal
renders no markdown. That also makes the send atomic: the group gets all of
it or none of it, and nothing is marked either way, where before a day was
marked before its own weekly summary had even been attempted -- so a summary
that failed was simply lost.
The composition moved to reporting.py, both because bot.py hit the 250-line
cap and because it is worth having pure: "what would the group be told?" is
now answerable with no transport and no send.
The closing-time caveat reads the clock instead of REPORT_HOUR. The
scheduled run fires at the configured minute and still says exactly that; a
run started by hand at some other hour now tells the truth rather than
repeating a time nobody waited for.
The 0.1.6 entry gains a bullet rather than taking a new version: no group has
been told about 0.1.6 yet -- every one of them is still recorded at 0.1.5 --
so the release it describes has not happened from their side.

The first group in the account's listing was checked by default, and the
first group in this account's listing is a test group. Somebody who typed
the names, hit save and never looked at the radios would have scoped a
private album to the wrong chat -- silently, because the commands then
simply do nothing in the chat they were meant for. Nothing is pre-selected
now, and saving without a group is refused.
Also replaces a test of mine that failed one run in sixteen: it drew a
two-way random choice five times and demanded both outcomes. The property
worth pinning is that a choice lands on a reading that *has* photos, which
is deterministic when only one of them does.

Per-person photo commands, where the mechanism is public and the album is
not. Nothing identifying is in this repository: who the people are, what
fires their photos and which file shows whom all live in one directory
outside it, and the tests, the docs and the offline e2e run use three
invented people instead.
Several names in one message intersect -- "!alfa beta" is a photo with both
-- and where an entry offers a choice the bot picks among the readings that
actually have a photo, so a question the album could answer is not refused.
A combination nobody photographed gets one line rather than silence, which
from the group's side is indistinguishable from a broken bot.
Scoping is enforced in the dispatcher, not in the handler: a command the
group is not allowed resolves to nothing, so it is not answered, not counted
as a command, and never named in a log line outside its own groups. A
handler that quietly returned would leak all three. Commands are named by
pseudonym (pack:p1), so the journal and command_uses say somebody asked for
a photo and nothing about whose.
Video works: the attachment goes out as data:video/mp4;filename=...;base64,
which is the container's own spelling, read off its /swagger/doc.json.
Told it is a photo, Signal renders a clip as an unplayable file.
tool/tagger.py serves one page on loopback to fill the album in -- names are
typed into the page, never as arguments, and it prints how many photos each
command would have when it stops, because a command with zero is dead on
arrival.
Also renames the real people who were still sitting in the stats test
fixtures. They remain in the history; the point is that nothing new is
added to it.
