Bolt v1.0 — Smart AI enabled modular Discord bot

• Date: 21.08.2025
• Moderation: legacy raid/CP protection removed; new configurable Auto‑mod shipped.
• Boltle: no longer daily/global; truly random word & bigger pool.
• AI Text Adventure: fully fledged, replayable system.
• Leveling embeds polished; leaderboard layout and rank reworked.
• Website overhaul: new Bolt means new Website, this is not part of the bot of course but the old site looked poor compared to this one.
• Code cleanup & bug fixes.
• Also thank you to all the testers and users that made this release possible, without you supporting this silly little idea that was nothing but a proof of concept at first, we wouldn't be here.

Just because this is a 1.0 release that doesnt mean development stops, Bolt will be updated, supported and expanded actively beyond this point

• Profanity filter is still too sensitive
• /blacklist causes the HEHEHEHA to be sent after every message that's being sent by the blacklisted User
• > currently after a user is blacklisted the bot will just respond with HEHEHEHA! and a clash royale gif.... I thought that was funny okay?

• Bolt now supports /name set (newname) and /name reset commands
• Main code is now lean and clean, just the main AI, command syncing and cog loading.
• Extended context window to 12 messages per channel due to improved memory handling
