Version 2.5.0

A visual customization release for server-owned Kyvera embeds, with Discord-side controls and a dashboard preview workflow.

• Added per-server Embed Styles with live previews for module colors, custom images, thumbnails, author badges, and footers.
• Added /embed-style set, view, and clear for administrators who want to change module branding from Discord.
• Applied configurable styles to giveaways, polls, suggestions, Starboard highlights, ticket panels, ticket welcomes, reopen notices, close confirmations, and priority notices.
• Added /dashboard/[guildId]/embed-styles with URL validation, color presets, module cards, and a Discord-style preview.
• Kept the runtime logic intact: buttons, counters, ticket state, Starboard source attribution, and database updates still use their existing workflows.
• Updated command docs, community docs, the command catalog, the dashboard sidebar, release notice, and this changelog.

Adds persistent participation tools and quality-of-life commands for active Discord communities.

• Rebuilt /help as an interactive category menu with dropdown navigation and focused command embeds.
• Added Starboard highlights with reaction thresholds, ignored channels, dashboard settings, and recent highlight review.
• Added Auto Replies for scoped FAQ triggers with match modes, cooldowns, placeholders, and dashboard management.
• Added persistent polls, giveaways, and suggestions with Discord buttons and dashboard management.
• Added personal reminders with restart-safe delivery and duplicate-send protection.
• Added AFK notices that respond to mentions and clear automatically when the member returns.

Expands tickets into a more complete support workflow with recovery, tagging, automation, and safer transcripts.

• Expanded tickets with claim and release controls, priority, categories, tags, close reasons, last activity, and reopen tracking.
• Dashboard ticket reopening now recreates the private Discord channel, restores member and staff permissions, and republishes ticket controls.
• Escaped transcript content before HTML generation to keep downloaded support transcripts safe.
• Added ticket commands for participants, renaming, claiming, closing, reopening, and transcript retrieval.
• Enhanced ticket commands with claim release, priority updates, and tag management from Discord.
• Added self-service role menus with Discord deployment and manageable role validation.
• Added one-time, daily, and weekly scheduled announcements with duplicate-send protection and retry handling.
• Added configuration revisions so important dashboard changes have a durable operator history.

Hardens the economy system and makes progression clearer for members and staff.

• Fixed XP being counted twice during message rewards and made cooldowns, XP ranges, ignored channels, and level-up channels configurable.
• Added an economy transaction ledger for daily claims, transfers, purchases, refunds, message rewards, and quest rewards.
• Made payments, daily claims, and shop purchases atomic to prevent duplicate claims or negative balances under concurrent requests.
• Added stock limits, per-member purchase limits, disabled items, and automatic refunds when Discord role delivery fails.
• Expanded quests across messages, commands, reactions, and voice minutes with goals, rewards, active windows, and direct completion feedback.
• Added daily streaks, achievement rewards, member profiles, and XP, coin, or streak leaderboards.
• Added /shop inventory plus a searchable dashboard purchase history covering collectibles and delivered roles.
• Optimized leaderboard pagination and cached Discord profile details to avoid slow sequential user lookups.

Gives staff stronger moderation records, safer command gating, and more resilient interaction handling.

• Added numbered moderation cases with evidence, internal notes, appeal states, resolutions, and per-member history.
• AutoMod now supports exempt roles and channels, allowed domains, and configurable anti-spam thresholds.
• Violating message content is attached directly to moderation evidence; no dashboard live-chat retrieval is required.
• Added command policies for enabling commands and restricting them by minimum role, allowed roles, or blocked channels.
• Added Discord case commands for reviewing, annotating, resolving, and reopening moderation records.
• Added warning removal and bulk-clear commands with durable moderator attribution.
• Added slowmode and channel lockdown commands for incident pacing and emergency channel freezes.
• Added unban support so the Discord-side moderation lifecycle now covers ban removal with durable case records.
• Added temporary roles with automatic expiry, early removal, and active grant listing.
• Added role management, nickname management, and moderation activity stats commands for staff workflows.
• Added configurable anti-raid quarantine plus mention, caps, and emoji-spam protection with a safe test mode.
• Replaced long native role and channel lists with searchable selectors that only offer resources suitable for each action.
• Disabled commands now stay disabled for administrators while role and channel restrictions retain an administrator recovery bypass.
• Improved moderation indexing so case, warning, and action history remain responsive as servers grow.
• Hardened Discord interactions so command policies, ticket buttons, modals, and role menus acknowledge users before slow database work.
• Added command-policy circuit breaking, bounded database pools, and gateway-cached guild resources so a Supabase or Discord REST slowdown cannot take down unrelated commands or empty dashboard selectors.
• Added command health analytics and a persistent retry queue for failed message and role-delivery actions.

The dashboard redesign and platform-hardening baseline for the 2.x release train.

• Rebuilt the dashboard around a faster, denser operations workspace with cleaner navigation and responsive layouts.
• Added playful light reactions, focused hover motion, and restrained transitions without compromising readability.
• Introduced a public service-status view for the frontend, Discord API, bot, and database.
• Moved the global footer into the root layout so status and legal pages stay reachable throughout the site.
• Added this dedicated changelog and release notices inside authenticated dashboard views.
• Updated Next.js cookie handling to the asynchronous API, resolving production request failures on Vercel.
• Added OAuth state validation and removed Discord access tokens from the long-lived dashboard session payload.
• Restricted bot API cross-origin access to configured dashboard origins.
• Separated Discord bot readiness from dashboard API reachability and added a database heartbeat fallback to prevent false offline states.
• Moved dashboard rate-limit counters into the database with a local development fallback.
• Added setup diagnostics for Discord permissions and stale channel or role references.
• Bot installation now requests Administrator, while setup guidance calls out Discord role hierarchy separately.
• Added status-incident records for communicating active and resolved platform issues.
