Implemented |
| Account-wide saved state | TOC SavedVariables: ROARRDB |
Implemented, not cross-character tested |
| Longer tutorial in this repository | 2025-11-23 4fc6a68 diff |
Implemented and historically dated |
| Second repository with near-identical code | content comparison with babunidev/roar |
Verified at source level, reason unknown |
| Current chance roll consumes interval even on failure | LAST_BATTLE_EMOTE_TIME = now before math.random |
Source-observed; may be reconsidered |
Historical boundaries
The repository babunidev/roarr was created and populated on November 23, 2025. The babunidev/roar repository existed earlier and shows multiple ROAR/ROARR renames. This repo did not experience those historical renames itself in its visible Git record.
The presence of a duplicate-like repo does not establish an intent to abandon the other one. The tutorial change is verified as a source change; an original user/AI design debate is not available.
Attribution and license
The current README and TOC credit Babuni.dev as author. The MIT LICENSE contains a historical Elexior copyright line. Both facts are retained; no conclusion is made about identity or rights transfers. This documentation-only pass does not edit license text.
Open creator decisions (not approved)
- Which ROARR repository should be considered canonical for distribution?
- Would the creator prefer to keep this repo as a historical experiment or archive it?
- Should the tutorial evolve further into a low-noise or accessible onboarding flow?
- Should chance failures consume cooldown?
- Should per-character configuration replace account-wide slot selection?
- Should the historic license attribution be clarified?
The AI assistant must record explicit author answers before changing code or repo governance.
