MB657 turns Mediabot’s existing time-of-day achievements into a proper measurable progression system.

The key idea was not to add another expensive historical scan. Instead, MB657 reuses and improves the existing hour-band logic so…

MB656 adds a new family of user-facing achievements based on something Mediabot already knew: how long someone had been away.

The tricky part was not defining the milestones. It was making sure the historical absence could be obser…

Version: 3.4dev-20260817_113536

MB655 brings the roadmap back to something directly visible to users: activity streak achievements.

Mediabot already knew how to calculate a user’s current activity streak and best historical streak.

MB655 connects that exis…

MB654 adds a strictly read-only diagnostic for Mediabot’s durable Achievement identities.

MB653 completes the second real migration onto Mediabot::AsyncWorker, and this time the target is one of Mediabot’s more demanding asynchronous consumers: Trivia.

MB652 is the first real consumer migration to Mediabot::AsyncWorker.

Mediabot now has a common subprocess contract.

For years, several features had to solve variations of the same problem:

fork
pipe
watch_process
EOF
timeout
TERM
KILL
callback
JSON child → parent

Mediabot’s test suite has been reliable for a long time.

It has also become large enough that a full run now takes about fifteen minutes.

So before trying to parallelise anything, MB650 adds something much safer:

Mediabot Doctor can now inspect the database and migration state without changing either of them.

The goal of this round was deliberately strict:

Diagnose MariaDB, schema drift and migrat…

Instead of restarting services, repairing files, changing configuration, touching MariaDB, or trying to be clever on behalf of the operator, **Mediabot Doc…
