Registration was manual-only (npm run register), which left a trap: a guild authorized after the last run — or authorized without the applications.commands scope, where registration itself fails with 50001 Missing Access — has the runtime allowlist open but no slash commands registered, and nothing surfaces it. Live case today: the home server's re-authorization granted the missing scope, but commands stayed invisible because nobody could run the script from a phone.

Changes

• bot/src/register.ts (new): the registration loop extracted into a shared module — one idempotent PUT of the full command set per guild in allowedGuildIds.
• bot/src/index.ts: startup awaits registerCommands(config) before login, so every deploy converges the registered commands with the code. Failure is log-and-continue by design: a Discord API blip must not keep the gateway down.
• bot/scripts/register-commands.ts: now delegates to the shared module; npm run register remains the standalone manual lever.
• bot/src/__tests__/register.test.ts (new): pins one PUT per allowed guild with the configured credentials, and that API failures propagate to the caller (who decides fatality).

Verification

Bot suite: 482 tests across 37 files, typecheck clean.

On merge

The bot's Railway service (watch bot/**, branch main) redeploys automatically; the boot log will show [bot] Registered N command(s) to guild … and slash commands appear in the authorized server immediately.

Greptile Summary

This change moves guild slash-command registration into shared startup code so configured guilds are synchronized whenever the bot starts. A reproduced startup failure remains in bot/src/index.ts: gateway login waits for every serial guild registration attempt to finish, so slow Discord REST failures or retry windows can keep the bot unavailable for their combined duration.

The startup registration should run independently of gateway login while retaining its aggregate error logging and the manual recovery command.

Confidence Score: 4/5

The change should not merge until gateway login is decoupled from slow command-registration requests.

A focused executable harness exercised the original startup path with delayed successful and failed guild registrations, and directly observed gateway login occur only after all serial requests settled.

Files Needing Attention: bot/src/index.ts needs its startup ordering changed so command synchronization cannot block client.login().

T-Rex Logs

What T-Rex did

• Filed a finding-comment-proof for a posted P1 finding and attached three artifacts documenting the startup and login sequence.
• Filed a second finding-comment-proof for another posted P1 finding.
• Validated the startup ordering by running the harness through the real main() and registerCommands() with a mocked Discord boundary; it reported elapsedMs=125 and the event sequence guild-1:start, guild-1:end, guild-2:start, guild-2:end, guild-3:start, guild-3:end, login, showing login waits until all registrations finish.

### Issue 1
bot/src/index.ts:117
**Gateway login waits for cumulative guild registration time**

`main()` awaits `registerCommands(config)` before calling `client.login()`, while registration sends each guild request serially. A slow Discord REST failure or retry for every allowlisted guild therefore delays gateway connection by the combined duration, leaving the bot unavailable until the full registration loop settles. Start registration as best-effort asynchronous work with rejection logging, then begin gateway login without waiting for every registration attempt.

Gateway login waits for cumulative guild registration time

main() awaits registerCommands(config) before calling client.login(), while registration sends each guild request serially. A slow Discord REST failure or retry for every allowlisted guild therefore delays gateway connection by the combined duration, leaving the bot unavailable until the full registration loop settles. Start registration as best-effort asynchronous work with rejection logging, then begin gateway login without waiting for every registration attempt.

Artifacts

Gateway login waited for three slow guild registrations

• Executed the authored startup harness against the original await-based path and shows login occurred only after two failed and one successful slow registration settled.

Original startup source with awaited command registration

• Captured the executed source excerpt showing `await registerCommands(config)` at original line 117 before `client.login`.

Authored focused startup ordering test source

• Captured the authored test harness that runs real startup and registration control flow with three delayed simulated guild REST responses.
