Mediabot 3.6dev has gained a memory for plugin failures — but not the kind that turns every exception into a public spectacle or lets an automated recovery spell take control of the castle.
MB751 adds a bounded, instance-local failure ledger to Plugin API v3. Command handlers, event subscriber…
Mediabot 3.6dev has entered the stabilization wing of its Plugin API v3 roadmap.
The previous milestones built the platform, proved reversible command migrations and finally made the central command registry the single runtime authority. MB750 now gives operators a clear view of that machinery…
Mediabot 3.6dev has reached another important architectural milestone.
MB749 does not add a flashy public command, a new game or another external service. Instead, it completes a much deeper transformation: every built-in command now carries its executable handler directly inside the central co…
Mediabot’s Plugin API v3 has moved from safely consulting the quote archive to serving real historical commands through that guarded boundary.
MB747 created the read-only data.quotes.read facade. MB748 now uses it to
migrate the first three database-backed public commands:
quotecount;
…Mediabot’s Plugin API v3 can now consult real application data without being given the keys to the database.
MB747 introduces the first approved domain-data capability:
data.quotes.read. It gives future plugins a small, explicit and guarded view
of the quote archive while keeping SQL, databa…
Mediabot’s plugin roadmap has reached an important threshold.
The first API v3 foundations taught plugins how to declare commands, receive versioned events, schedule bounded jobs and obey a per-channel policy. MB745 then proved that a visible feature could move behind that boundary without bre…
On September 17, we stepped back from the steady flow of feature work and asked a broader question: what should Mediabot become next?
The answer was not another isolated command, another integration bolted onto the core, or a rewrite in a fashionable new language. Mediabot already had plug…
Mediabot has long been able to ask several large language models for help, but their answers still arrived dressed for the Web: Markdown headings, lists, tables, fenced code and paragraphs that could spill across four IRC lines. MB737 gives OpenAI, Claude and Gemini one shared presentation boundary …
TinyURL served Mediabot faithfully, until its creation quota closed the door with an HTTP 422 and left new RSS stories carrying their full destinations.
MB736 gives Mediabot its own Portkey instead.
The project now includes a compact ShortURL service under contrib/shorturl. It is written in …
TinyURL recently stopped shortening new links for our account. The API key was still present, correctly formatted and accepted, but the authenticated endpoint answered with:
HTTP 422 Unprocessable Entity
TinyURL links limit reached.
That distinction matters. This was neither a m…
