Version 3.16.9
August 10, 2026
Summary
A major website/dashboard release. Homepage stats are much faster and more honest, translation caches are restored, Auto Setup understands forums, staff tooling and command deploy reliability got a large set of repairs, and Discord deploy webhooks can no longer mass-ping your server.
Changelog
What is New
- Per-shard guild drill-down in the write-gate / queue control panel, with soft throttle controls for hot shards.
- Shared website translation cache for
/api/translationsbatch paths, plus browser translation cache stats collection for admins. - Forum channels are included in Auto Setup mirror scans and related channel type helpers.
Improvements
- Homepage
/api/global-statsno longer runs a multi-million-rowSUM(characterCount)scan on every cold request. - Public “characters translated” now serves the real
characters_translatedcounter instead of a rough translations × 150 estimate. - Website and browser i18n caches are restored so page translations feel snappy again.
- Content detection for website translations aligns with the bot: Greek and other Unicode letters count as translatable; emoji, bare
@handles, timestamps, and mentions are stripped more safely. - GPT-5 BYOK settings expose minimal reasoning effort where needed.
- Command deploy UX waits for the deploy job and surfaces Discord/API errors clearly.
- Discord beta and prod changelog webhook posts disable mention parsing and neutralize
@everyone/@here/ user / role tokens.
Fixes
- Staff premium grant API repaired for omni and server admin panels.
- Guild drill-down API and inline shard action buttons repaired.
- Command deploy no longer blocks incorrectly; repair-server JSON errors are handled cleanly.
- T2/T3 support-mode guild settings access restored.
- Context menu command descriptions cleared correctly on deploy.
- Dev console hydration / font preload warnings cleaned up on dashboard pages.
- Symbol-only translation keys are skipped without noisy Discord failure alerts.
- Bot API helper routing sends dashboard actions to the correct bot instance.
- Repair / staff tooling JSON parsing edge cases fixed across several admin routes.
For Server Admins
- Expect the public character counter to look lower than the old ×150 estimate — that is intentional accuracy, not data loss.
- Auto Setup can now discover forum channels when scanning for mirrors.
- Staff using support mode (
?admin_override=true) can manage guild settings again as T2+. - CI changelog posts will not ping
@everyone/@herein your Discord.
