Style exhaustion fallback prefers fresh strict matches, then weaker evidence and other eligible native styles.

Small style pools can run out of fresh choices. The requested style remains preferred, but the bot can use weaker matches and then other native styles to avoid recent repeats or maps already reserved in the queue.

Fallback softens structural or farm evidence only. The active difficulty, length, pass-count and age filters still apply, and native 4K/7K boundaries remain in place. Farm confidence floors are retained. Converts are currently limited to Variety.

The implementation avoids the last ten played or skipped rounds. For Farm, stronger eligible fresh charts are consumed before weaker evidence and other-style fallback. This preserves a usable room without claiming every fallback chart is a strict match.

Use .pool, .style, and .queue to understand the current selection. See v6.6.14 and v6.6.15.

If the entire eligible native catalog is exhausted, the bot announces that even fallback cannot avoid a recent repeat and chooses the oldest available map. Unavailable maps, other key modes, and converts are not admitted as style fallback. This is distinct from the separate sparse catalog expansion policy.

A fresh non-Jack map after a Jack preference can be a fallback if strict fresh choices are exhausted. Check the queue, current map details, and any exhaustion notice.

The active eligibility filters and native key boundaries remain. Converts are not style fallback; an exhausted entire eligible catalog can require the oldest available repeat.
