Mediabot v3 · 3.6dev · 13 October 2026
A bot that remembers a conversation and answers questions is useful. A bot that explains its own commands, respects the person asking, and knows when its sources are insufficient is much more useful.
The latest three Mediabot commits tackle those everyd…
MB815 · Mediabot v3 · 3.6dev development update
A newspaper is welcome in the Great Hall. A flock of owls dropping the same story on everyone’s breakfast is rather less welcome.
Mediabot’s interactive news commands have received a substantial revision: a compact opening, recognizable article…
RSS and quote improvements on the 3.6dev development line — MB809 to MB813.
The Daily Prophet has its place in the common room. It does not need to arrive every time someone turns a page.
This round of Mediabot work fixes two rather different problems: news that needed a more restrained deli…
Hailo has always had a voice of its own. Its channel brain finds unexpected links between words, and those links give its replies their character. Sometimes, though, a good idea emerges as a jumble: a misspelled word, an unfinished clause, or a sentence that barely connects to the conversation.
T…
The first braininfo spell worked, but it sounded like a database dump. MB790 gives Mediabot’s operators a clearer account of each channel’s Hailo brain.
#hailo braininfo #radiocapsule now sends short private notices describing the brain’s state and saved SQLite file size, its Hailo counters, …
The production castle now has five guarded corridors. Quotes, Channel Activity,
Factoids, Playful and Short Content are all persistent, enabled and
authoritative on #i/o. Each has passed its own observe-first gate, each has
survived restart, and the failure ledger remains empty.
MB784 does n…
MB782 introduces short-content-v3 to production without granting it
permanent public authority. The package joins #i/o in observe, alongside
Quotes, Channel Activity, Factoids and Playful, which all remain enabled/on.
The first !short request runs behind the curtain.…
MB781 moves short-content-v3 from a supervised proof into the persistent API
v3 corridor on development #test. The package is intentionally small: one
command, one mediated HTTPS read and one core-owned revisioned repository.
The promotion begins in observe.…
MB778 opens the next functional API v3 tranche with a deliberately familiar
piece of Mediabot: the six small playful commands already reviewed in MB745.
8ball, abbrev, choose, flip, morse and roll now become a persistent
development posture instead of a temporary proof.
MB771 turns a successful migration rehearsal into a deliberately retained
development posture. channel-activity-v3 has already proved that its
compare and heatmap commands match the historical path, remain singular in
both observe and on, survive asynchronous execution, and restore thei…
