Root cause: apply_mention_policy() in utils.py used raw strings for
re.sub replacement arguments:
re.sub(r'<@&(\d+)>', r'@\u200brole', content)
The r-prefix makes \u200b literal backslash-u instead of Unicode ZWSP.
Python's re.sub always validates the replacement template, so \u at
position 1 raises re.error on EVERY message — even without matches.
Since _DEFAULT_NETWORK sets mention_policy.allow_role_mentions=False,
this code path runs for all networks, causing _do_relay to throw on
every single message. The exception was caught by on_message's
try/except, silently killing relay with total_messages stuck at 0.
Fix: remove r-prefix from replacement strings so \u200b is correctly
interpreted as the Unicode zero-width space character.
The v3.4.1 command filter used bot.get_context() to detect commands,
but an empty-string prefix ('') matched EVERY message, causing
ctx.valid to return True for any message whose first word happened
to be a registered command. With enough built-in commands (help,
ping, info, set, etc.) this silently dropped most or all relay
traffic (total_messages stayed at 0).
Fix: require ctx.prefix to be truthy (non-empty) before skipping
a message as a command. Empty-prefix matches are now ignored,
so only messages with a real prefix (!, @bot, etc.) are filtered.
Also re-added the empty-prefix warning to 'wh debug' output so
users know to clean up their bot prefix configuration.
Phase 5 — Security, Privacy & Power Update:
HYBRID COMMANDS
- Main command group converted to hybrid_group (slash + prefix)
- All commands work as both /wh and [p]wh
CONTEXT MENU ACTIONS (right-click)
- Report to Wormhole — opens modal for report reason
- Wormhole Bookmark — saves message to DM
- Wormhole Delete — staff can delete from entire network
- Wormhole Profile — view user stats across networks
GRANULAR MENTION POLICY
- Per-network control: allow/block @user, @role, @everyone, @here
- Per-server overrides (different rules per guild)
- Per-user exemptions (trusted users bypass policy)
- Replaces legacy strip-* with proper policy engine
- wh mentions set/server-set/exempt/unexempt/status
TERMS OF SERVICE / RULES ACCEPTANCE GATE
- wh tos enable — require acceptance before messaging
- Built-in legal template (6 sections, prosecution-ready)
- Consent tracking with timestamps
- wh tos set (custom text), template (reset), accepted (view), reset (force re-accept)
- wh accept / wh agree — user-facing acceptance flow
- Blocks relay for non-accepted users with helpful reminder
MOD EDIT/DELETE ACROSS NETWORK
- wh mod edit <name> <msg_id> <new_content> — edits all relayed copies
- wh mod nuke <name> <msg_id> — deletes from every server + original
- Both audit-logged
REPORT SYSTEM
- wh report message — report via reply or message ID
- Context menu report with modal (reason input)
- Anti-abuse cooldown (60s between reports)
- Content hashing for audit trails
- Reports sent to log channel + network owner DM
- wh report list/resolve/action (ban/mute/warn/dismiss)
- Capped at 200 reports per network
PRIVACY & SECURITY
- _ReportModal class for context menu reporting
- Content hash stored instead of plaintext in report records
- Report cooldowns prevent abuse
- ToS acceptance with ISO timestamps for legal compliance
