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.

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.

| stats_records | !rekordy !rekord !records |
| stats_crown | !korona !crown |
| stats_weekdays | !dni !days |
| stats_me | !ja !moje !mnie |
| help | !pomoc !pomocy !help !komendy !commands |
Aliases live in signal_bot/aliases.json, not in source, because they are
data: adding one should never mean touching Python.
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.
