A photo sent to the chat no longer enters the album by itself. pack_add strips it, checks it against the album and the queue, and writes it to pending/ with a sidecar naming the people and labels the sender proposed; the reply is "czeka na zatwierdzenie". The management page lists the queue above the tagger, with the proposal pre-ticked, and Approve moves the file in, mints the labels, records approved_at and asks the bot to rebuild its table through /_reload -- the same publish path every other data change takes, so PackHolder.reload is gone. A reload the bot refuses is reported on the page, not rolled back: the photo is in the album either way. The personal-data gate now reads pending/*.json too, so a label that is still waiting for approval is forbidden in the tree already. The e2e run boots the management page beside the bot with the same environment, proves the queue is stripped and never reaches media/, approves it through the real routes, and has !losowe answer with the photo afterwards without a restart; exiftool is found through media_strip.locate() there rather than PATH, which lacks vendor_perl on Arch. !gadaj is dropped from !odcisz: it was within a typo of !dodaj, and the nearest-command suggestion must never be a coin toss.

Commands
The copy that matters is not this file: !pomoc prints the same list in the
group, in Polish, one line of description per command. That version is built
from the command registry at run time and cannot drift, because
CommandRegistry.register takes the description as a required argument and
help_command.render_help prints any command its GROUPS table forgot to
file anyway, under no heading.
This file is the trigger reference — every spelling that resolves, which
!pomoc deliberately does not print.

Aliases live in signal_bot/aliases.json, not in source, because they are
data: adding one should never mean touching Python. Two constraints on a new
one. It is subtracted from the personal-data gate's word list by
_repo_vocabulary(), so it must not be name-shaped; and
tests/test_nearest.py fails if it lands within edit distance of a
different command's trigger, because the near-miss suggestion below would
then be a coin toss. !poems is the one trigger in the table that is only
just legal: it sits two edits from !pies, and passes solely because !poem
is one edit away and wins the tie. Deleting !poem would fail the suite at
!poems, nowhere near where the change was made.
The operator can add words of their own without a commit: the Commands tab of
the management page writes aliases_custom.json in the bot's state directory
(CUSTOM_ALIASES_FILE names another path), keyed by command name, and the
bot appends them to the shipped list when it builds the table. They are
extra spellings only -- !pomoc keeps showing the shipped one -- and they go
through the same clash check as aliases.json, so a word another command
already answers to is refused, as is a name no command has. That is what
makes the page's save a reload: the bot proves the file before it is kept.
The tagger refuses to give a person a trigger that is already somebody's
custom alias, for the same reason it refuses the shipped ones.
good_bot is the one two-word trigger. It works because fold() keeps inner
spaces and the registry matches the whole text before it looks at the first
word, so !good bot resolves and !good alone does not. Two spaces between
the words resolve to nothing, which is what the one-word spellings are for.
It is also the one command that answers with no message: it puts an emoji
on the compliment itself (POST /v1/reactions/<number>), drawn from a small
set, and says nothing in the group.
food_today and workout_today read two logs other programs keep --
diet_guard's food_log.json and screen_locker's log.json, at those
programs' default paths unless FOOD_LOG_FILE / WORKOUT_LOG_FILE say
otherwise -- and print the current Warsaw day out of them, fresh on every
call. The spelling the group actually uses for each has a surname in it,
so it is a custom alias in the state directory and never appears in this
repository. Food prints every entry and the day's total, never the daily
budget, which diet_guard keeps on the machine on purpose. Workouts print
every field an entry carries except a reservation phone number, a
screenshot path and the sync record id.
A word nothing claims
An unrecognised !word used to be dropped in silence, which made a typo
indistinguishable from the bot being down. Now it is answered, and kept:
- within one edit (two, from six characters up) of a real trigger, the bot
asks whether that is what you meant —
!cta→ chodziło o !kot? The distance is optimal string alignment rather thandifflib's ratio, because a transposition costs one edit there and shreds the matching blocks a ratio counts. - otherwise it points at
!zaproponuj, which files the idea. - either way the word and the message go into
unknown_commands, which the management page shows. That is the list of commands worth writing next.
Three things stay silent, and each for its own reason. !kot ładny is a
real trigger with words after it, and always has been silent. !! and !?
are punctuation, not a mistyped command. And a command scoped to some other
group — the album's, whose triggers are real people's names — is neither
answered nor recorded, because a refusal would announce that the album
exists.
random exists only in the photo album's own groups, and only on an
installation that has an album at all — everywhere else it is not a command,
not refused and never logged. It takes arguments, and those
arguments are resolved to pseudonym keys by the registry before any handler,
log line or command_uses row sees them. See DOCS-photo-pack.md.
mute (!cisza [1-10]) silences the bot in that group only, for the
minutes asked or ten by default, and ten at most. It confirms once and then
answers nothing: no commands, no near-miss suggestion, and the nightly report
is held back (not marked, so the next run still says that day). Messages are
still counted. Anybody may ask -- ten quiet minutes is the whole downside.
unmute (!odcisz) is the one command that runs through a mute, and only
for TRUSTED_INVITERS; anyone else is refused without a reply, because a
refusal is a reply. With TRUSTED_INVITERS unset, anybody may. There is no
!unmute alias: it sits one edit from !mute, inside the near-miss budget.
add_photo (!dodaj alfa wakacje + an attachment) exists in the same groups
as random and under the same silence elsewhere. It does not put the
photo in the album: it strips it and queues it for approval on the management
page (./web.sh), and answers with a count — czeka na zatwierdzenie: 1.
Only an approved photo is retrievable, and it is from the moment it is
approved. No cooldown, no size cap, no daily limit. DOCS-add-photo.md.
Any command can be switched off from the management page (Commands tab),
outright or until a moment, and given its own cooldown. The bot reads the
switch on every attempt, so it is live without a reload; a command that is
off answers BEEP BOOP !kot WYŁĄCZONE. (or … WYŁĄCZONE DO 14:01., Warsaw
time) rather than going quiet, and the refusal neither starts the cooldown nor
counts as a use. !pomoc still lists it. DOCS-web-ui.md has the page, and
the same row is where a custom alias is typed.
Why !pomoc shows the first alias and not a trigger
Command.triggers is a frozenset of folded skeletons — folding.py
runs NFKC, strips diacritics and maps Cyrillic/Greek/small-caps/leet
lookalikes onto ASCII, so that !gecko typed on a Russian keyboard still
resolves. Everything that makes those triggers robust also makes them
unprintable: the set has no order, !papież survives only as !papiez, and
the styled variants come out as zalgo.
So Command.primary holds the first raw trigger instead, which
aliases.json lists as the canonical Polish spelling for every command.
Two consequences worth remembering, both from folding.py:
- A command name can never contain a digit —
foldmaps0134578onto letters, so!7dniwould resolve as!tdni. - The styled Unicode aliases in the table above are redundant now; folding covers them. They are kept because removing an alias can only take something away.
