Instead of a raw 6-word slice (which left dangling fragments like
'Partly - Not exclusively American; has'), extract the first complete
sentence (up to 10 words). Falls back to the 6-word cap only if no
sentence boundary is found in the response.

Reduce word cap from 12 to 6 and add explicit instructions not to use
proper nouns, brand names, or place names in answers. Fixes the case
where the model blurted 'The Grand Canyon State (Arizona)' in response
to a geography question.

Add a rolling cache of the last 30 answers (persisted to
twentyq_cache.json) and pass the recent list to the model as an
explicit avoid clause. Also prompt the model to vary categories
each round. If the model still returns a cached answer it is
rejected and one retry is attempted automatically.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Allow open-ended questions like "What color is it?" or "How big is it?"
The model now gives brief descriptive answers (capped at 12 words) for
open questions while still answering Yes/No/Sometimes/Partly for binary
ones. Updated command descriptions and in-game prompts accordingly.

- Import MATRIX_USER_ID in commands.py (was missing — caused !ttt and
!triviaduel to crash with NameError on every invocation)
- Blackjack is now per-player per-room: multiple players can each run
their own game simultaneously; !hit and !stand operate on the caller's
own game only
- !hottake: pick a random topic from 20 categories and pass it to the
model so takes aren't all nostalgia-flavoured
- !nhie: tighter prompt with topic rotation and a word-count cap so
generated scenarios are simpler and more relatable
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
New commands: numguess/ng, wordchain/wc/endwc, acronym/ac,
20q/q/answer, nhie, hottake, ttt/move, blackjack/hit/stand,
triviaduel/da. All per-room with AI-generated content where
applicable. callbacks.py wired up for new reaction handlers
(acronym votes, nhie, hottake). Help and README updated with
full command reference.

The old \O/ ears row looked like 6 limbs when combined with /|\ arms.
New extended progression:
0-6: same as standard (head → body → arms → legs)
7: left foot (/ in the previously empty row below legs)
8: both feet (/ \)
9: @ head (anguish — full figure visible)
10: X head (dead)
Each stage is visually distinct with no overlapping limb confusion.

- !help Games section now includes !guess
- !8ball description mentions --debug flag

Mirrors riddle/trivia cache pattern: loads hangman_cache.json on startup,
appends each new word, caps at 30, saves after each game. Recent words
are passed to the model prompt to avoid repeats.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Silent failures (word too long/short, has hyphens, empty hint) are now
logged as warnings showing the actual word/hint returned. Retry up to
2 times before giving up, matching riddle's behavior.

The creative model was producing fortune-cookie mysticism ("navigate
the curve of fate") instead of 8-ball answers. New system prompt
explicitly requires YES/NO/UNCERTAIN category answers, 2-6 words,
funny and direct — no cryptic prophecies.

phi4-mini refused to argue FOR controversial topics, instead deflecting
with neutral takes. The abliterated model with a committed debater system
prompt will actually take both sides without hedging or disclaimers.

- Added _extract_riddle_answer() with dual fallback: JSON parse first,
then regex extraction of quoted riddle/answer values directly from text
- _generate_riddle() now retries up to 2 times on parse/network failure
- Hangman, scramble, WYR, and trivia now catch JSONDecodeError and log
the raw model output instead of letting the exception propagate silently

riddle_cache.json: stores last 30 riddle texts + answers
trivia_cache.json: stores last 20 questions per category
Both files are capped at their respective maxes so they never grow
unboundedly. Loaded on startup, saved after each new question.

It's used for 8ball, roasts, riddles, WYR, and debate — not just the
magic 8-ball anymore. CREATIVE_MODEL better reflects its role as the
uncensored/abliterated model for creative generation tasks.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
wyr:
- Reject options that end on a dangling word (but/and/or/with/never etc.)
so truncated sentences like 'but never' return None and retry
- Add 'via Llama 3.2 3B (abliterated)' credit to the poll message
riddle:
- Add 'via Llama 3.2 3B (abliterated)' credit to the riddle message

The previous system prompt was basically empty. Now it explicitly:
- Requires the answer to be unambiguously correct
- Bans vague, ambiguous, or invented facts
- Requires plausible-but-wrong distractors
- Includes a concrete example of a good question
- Tells the model to pick a simpler topic if unsure

phi4-mini is too conservative and defaults to the same 2-3 answers.
Use BALL_MODEL (abliterated Llama 3.2) like WYR does.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
riddle:
- Cache answers separately so the same answer (e.g. 'shadow') can't
appear twice in a session even if the riddle text differs
- Explicitly ban 'shadow' in the prompt and append avoid-answers clause
- Ban question endings ('what am I?', 'what could it be?') more strictly
wyr:
- Hard-cap options at 10 words server-side so the model can't ignore
the word limit and generate paragraph-length options
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Add 3 assistant-turn examples to lock in the JSON format and tone
- Construct the 'question' field from option_a/option_b so it's always
well-formed regardless of what the model puts in the 'question' key
- Switch from phi4-mini to the abliterated Llama 3.2 model for edgier,
uncensored dilemmas
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
riddle:
- Tighten generation prompt with explicit rules: specific noun answer,
no answer word in the riddle, no 'what could it possibly mean', clues
must logically point to ONE answer, prefer concrete things
- Fix answer matching: strip articles (a/an/the), allow partial match
so 'person' hits 'a person' and 'shadow' hits 'my shadow' etc.
wyr:
- Prompt now asks for genuinely difficult dilemmas with real downsides
on both sides; explicitly bans boring options like dolphins/karaoke
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Keep a rolling list of the last 30 riddles used and inject them into
the prompt as an avoid clause, same pattern as trivia's per-category cache.

- Add edit_html() to utils using m.replace so messages can be updated
- Hangman board now edits in place on every guess — shows progressing

- Extract _hangman_board_html() helper for consistent board rendering
- wyr: add INFO-level logging to reaction callback to diagnose vote tracking

The oracle should address Leon ('you survived Raccoon City...') not
impersonate him ('I'm not buying it').
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
api/generate has no system role — the model was ignoring the character
context and giving generic one-word answers. Chat API with a proper
system message forces the Leon voice.

- _hangman_display compared uppercase word chars against lowercase
guessed_letters set, so letters were never revealed after correct guesses
- Word guess wrong path now shows the board and remaining guesses
- Winner display now includes the guesser's name on correct word guess

- Add _WYR_POLLS dict keyed by poll event_id to accumulate votes
- record_wyr_vote() called from callbacks.reaction() on every reaction
- reveal() reads actual vote counts and announces winner with percentage
- Handles tie and zero-vote cases
- Remove the useless 'check the reactions above' message

phi4-mini can queue behind other requests and take >20s under load,

hangman, scramble, riddle, and wyr all used api/generate which has no
system role. The model would wrap JSON in prose or markdown fences,
causing json.loads() to throw and the command to silently die after
the 'Generating...' message.
Fix for all four: switch to api/chat with a system message enforcing
raw JSON output, strip markdown fences, and use regex to extract the
JSON object even if surrounded by extra text.

Switch from api/generate to api/chat so we can set a system role that
instructs the model to be genuinely savage. Add a few-shot example so
it knows what a roast looks like vs a backhanded compliment.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Reframe prompt as a consented comedy roast between friends so the
model doesn't refuse on safety grounds
- Add lore for lonely (Cole, 23, dishwasher, gamer) and
natcofragomatic (Nathan, DCO Tech 3 at AWS, ginger, tape-drive nerd)
- Use a lookup table (_ROAST_LORE) so adding new users is one line
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- !hangman: AI picks a 5-8 letter word with hint; players !guess letters/words, 6 wrong = dead
- !scramble: AI picks a word, scrambles it; first correct answer in chat wins (45s timeout)
- !wyr: AI generates Would You Rather with 🅰️/🅱️ reaction voting, 30s reveal
- !riddle: AI generates riddle monitored for 60s, substring match in chat wins
- !roast: AI roasts a target using BALL_MODEL with special Jared/Wynter lore
- !story: collaborative story with !story add <line> and !story end (AI conclusion, max 10 lines)
- !debate: AI writes FOR/AGAINST arguments for any topic using ASK_MODEL
- callbacks.py: route all non-command messages through scramble/riddle answer checkers
- help: updated categories to include all new commands
- Replace flat fallback list with per-category fallback dict so
!trivia music never shows a gaming question when AI is down
- Always show "via <model>" tag on AI questions; show warning tag
on static fallbacks so users know AI was unavailable

New categories: anime, sports, food, history, geography, nature,
mythology, tv (14 total).
Add _trivia_recent dict that tracks the last 20 questions per
category and injects them into the LLM prompt as a avoid list,

When Wynter asks a romantic question about Jared ("is he in love
with me", "does he miss me", etc.) the LLM fallback now explicitly
denies the premise instead of giving a generic Jared-wins response.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Add explicit Jared/Wynter no-romance lore to all four branch
bio_contexts and prompts — prevents model from implying romantic
feelings between them
- Add _implies_jared_wynter_romance() validator; responses that
suggest romantic connection fall back to the static fallback
- Replace random-list responses for non-Jared/Wynter senders with
AI-generated magic 8-ball predictions via BALL_MODEL

- Fix about_jared/about_wynter using substring match — "they" matched
"he", "theme" matched "he", etc., routing Wynter's questions to the
wrong branch. Now uses \b word boundaries via re.search.
- Switch BALL_MODEL default from sadiq-bd 1B uncensored to
llama3.2:latest (3B) — the 1B model hallucinates, ignores persona
instructions, and mentions Jared randomly. GPU is now working on
Arc A380 at ~25 tok/s so the larger model is practical.
