====== PoolRotater v5.5.3 — Configurable difficulty votes ======

**Historical archive — not current configuration guidance.** Source: Papapyrus's Discord announcement, supplied by the project owner for archival publication. Posted: September 6, 2026, 9:54 PM. Displayed time zone was not supplied. Announcement timestamps are not independently verified deployment dates.

===== Announced changes =====

''.harder'' and ''.easier'' are fully configurable.

  * ''difficulty_vote_step'' sets the AutoDiff shift per passed vote; the announced default is 0.20★.
  * ''difficulty_vote_max_steps'' sets how many temporary shifts can stack; the announced default is 3.
  * The default total limit remains ±0.60★. For example, 0.15★ × 5 steps allows ±0.75★.

Admins can change these live:

  * ''.set difficultyvotestep <0.05-0.50>''
  * ''.set difficultyvotecap <0-20>''

Room JSON hot-reloads safe settings about every two seconds, without ''.softrestart'' after editing pool filters, timing, vote settings or AI settings. OAuth, database and Discord bot-token changes still require a normal bot restart.
