When the bot responds to a command request, the output of the bot should only be shown to the person who issued the command. This is super easy to change as the ephemeral flag in the response object just needs to be set to true.

In the bot config, add support for hidden assignable roles. Hidden roles will not show up in the /roles command or be suggested by autocomplete for /role. This will let us provide secret roles for people to discover by trying.

The config change is super easy. Just add a hidden flag to the roles JSON format.

When running the bot in a container, the bot will crash and the service will fail if the network takes too long to initialize. The crash report states that it could not connect to discord's api and then exits.

possible solutions:

• ping discord's api and only start the bot once the ping succeeds
  • easiest solution
  • only works at startup
• keep trying to connect until it finally succeeds
  • slightly harder to implement
  • can work any time (ex: connection restarts while bot is running)
