Combot v2.0 - Major Refactor Release

Overview

Complete rewrite of Combot architecture addressing code quality, maintainability, and reliability issues from v1.0.

Major Changes

Architecture & Code Quality

  • Modular Structure: Split monolithic 1000+ line file into 13 focused modules
  • Dependency Injection: Eliminated global variable dependencies and initialization race conditions
  • Type Safety: Added comprehensive type hints throughout entire codebase
  • Error Handling: Implemented robust try-catch blocks with user-friendly error messages
  • Import System: Fixed all relative import issues for direct file execution

Bug Fixes

  • Critical: Fixed PlayerListView instantiation missing data_manager parameter
  • Critical: Resolved global data_manager initialization causing "bot is loading" errors
  • Performance: Improved cache key generation using pickle serialization
  • Async Issues: Removed problematic async calls from synchronous methods
  • Import Errors: Fixed all "attempted relative import" errors

Performance Improvements

  • File I/O: Implemented debounced saves and atomic file writes
  • Caching: Enhanced TTL cache with automatic cleanup and robust key generation
  • Memory Management: Added proper resource cleanup and connection handling
  • API Optimization: Implemented rate limiting and request deduplication for YouTube API

Security & Validation

  • Input Validation: Added comprehensive URL and data validation
  • Permission System: Improved admin command authorization
  • Error Reporting: Enhanced logging without exposing sensitive information
  • Data Integrity: Added backup and corruption recovery mechanisms

User Experience

  • Error Messages: Specific, actionable error messages with troubleshooting guidance
  • Loading States: Clear feedback during long operations
  • Navigation: Consistent back/forward navigation across all menus
  • Responsive Design: Better handling of Discord's UI limitations

Developer Experience

  • Documentation: Comprehensive docstrings and inline comments
  • Logging: Structured logging with appropriate levels
  • Testing: Foundation laid for unit testing
  • Deployment: Added Docker containerization and setup scripts

Technical Improvements

Data Management

  • Atomic file operations with backup creation
  • Automatic data validation and corruption recovery
  • Configurable page sizes and view timeouts
  • Efficient combo counting and statistics

YouTube Integration

  • Improved playlist parsing with error recovery
  • Better notation and notes extraction from descriptions
  • Quota monitoring and rate limiting
  • Fallback handling for API failures

Discord UI

  • Base view classes for consistent behavior
  • Paginated views with navigation controls
  • Modal forms with proper validation
  • Timeout handling and message cleanup

Breaking Changes

  • Configuration file structure updated (automatic migration)
  • Import paths changed (affects custom extensions)
  • Environment variable validation added

Migration Notes

  • Existing data files are automatically migrated
  • No manual intervention required for standard setups
  • Custom modifications may need import path updates

Compatibility

  • Python 3.8+ required
  • Discord.py 2.3.0+ required
  • All existing Discord permissions and scopes maintained

Known Issues

  • None critical
  • Minor: Some async operations could benefit from further optimization
  • Future: Combo editing UI planned for v2.1

This release represents a complete rewrite focusing on production stability, maintainability, and developer experience. All major issues from v1.0 have been resolved.

Pull Request Overview

A major refactor of Combot’s documentation to match v2.0’s updated architecture, setup, and usage.

  • Streamlines README to a concise installation and usage guide
  • Updates prerequisites, environment configuration, and quick-start steps
  • Adds file structure, commands list, and support section
Comments suppressed due to low confidence (2)

README.md:1

  • Consider restoring a top-level project title using # Combot and moving the descriptive text to a separate paragraph; this improves hierarchy and scannability.
## **Combot is a Discord bot designed for fighting game communities that imports combo data from YouTube playlists...**

README.md:66

  • [nitpick] The file structure comments are misaligned (mixed indentation and spacing); aligning comment columns improves readability.

Clarify that DISCORD_OWNER_IDS can accept multiple comma-separated IDs for multi-owner setups, matching the environment variable name’s plural form.

[nitpick] The numbered steps under “Discord Bot Token” aren’t in a code block; consider wrapping them in a fenced code block to improve readability and distinguish commands/URLs.
