Ensure feature parity with non-SDK features in old bot code

[Arlodotexe]

The MVP for the Server Companion rewrite must have feature parity with the old bot.

While we've been hard at work over the past year planning and building our vNext architecture for SDK features, the bot features which don't depend on our database or SDK are simpler and can be implemented in tandem.

To that end, this document reviews and tracks the various features in our "old infra" which can be implemented now without the use of our SDK.

Existing non-SDK features

The original TypeScript code used Discord.js, but we'll be using Remora for our rewrite implementation.

We already have an end-to-end testbed setup for developers to run the bot rewrite in our test server.

• Documentation is pending, follow-up review in another issue.
• Talk to a staff member for access, we'll set you up 1:1 for now

Commands

The commands that need consideration can be found at uwpcommunity-backend/tree/dev/src/bot/commands. Each file is a command that can be run, and the default TS import declares the parameters.

As of a75cc7ac5bd3761aef25f4aebd869cfcd23cbce4, these are:

• autoregister.ts
• getuser.ts
• infraction.ts
• news.ts
• ping.ts
• portal.ts
• project.ts
• role.ts
• staffpoll.ts
• syncroleswithbackend.ts

The only commonly used commands here are:

• infraction.ts
• portal.ts
• project.ts

Of these three commands, the project command is part of our SDK, so only the infraction system and the portal command are left to be implemented without it.

Events

Events that may need implemented can be found at uwpcommunity-backend/tree/dev/src/bot/events.

As of 1cedacadb69534dc6a42d9ac24492684b2192873, these are:

• messageHandlers
  • devChatterWarning.ts: Does a very specific and relaxed check for certain indicators of developer topics being discussed and warns when in an explicitly user-friendly channel.
  • swearFilter.ts: Detects certain explicit words that are blacklisted from being said, as well as whitelist exceptions.
• guidMemberRemove.ts: Deletes registered user data and projects when they leave the server.
• messageCreate.ts: Simply imports the messageHandlers listed above
• messageDelete.ts: Captures deleted messages for moderators only.
• messageUpdate.ts: Handles the swear filter on message update.

Required work

Commands

The infraction system and portal command need to be implemented in the new bot using Remora.

• These should use slash commands
• They should be functionally identical to the old code, except where otherwise noted.

Events

Only the swear filter and dev-chatter warning need to be implemented for now.

• They should be functionally identical to the old code, except where otherwise noted.

Details and requirements will be filed in separate tickets from here. Come back soon.
