#### 2.8.3 Data Flow

```
User Action (Discord) → Event Listener → Event Handler → Module Logic
                                                              ↓
                                              External API / Webhook Call
                                                              ↓
                                              Response/Notification
                                                              ↓
                                              Logging (Winston + Debug Webhook)
```

```
Scheduled Task → External API (Airtable/Al Jazeera) → Parse Response
                                                              ↓
                                              Send to Discord Webhook
                                                              ↓
                                              Update Cache/State
```

### 2.9 Database

While Prisma ORM is installed as a dependency, the Application does not currently use a database. All state is managed in memory using cache objects attached to the extended Discord client:

- `bot.ticketLogs`: Maps channel IDs to log file message IDs
- `bot.lastArticle`: Tracks the most recent news article ID

Ticket conversation logs are temporarily stored as text files in the `logs/` directory and deleted after being sent to the archive channel.

### 2.10 API Integrations

#### 2.10.1 Airtable REST API

**Endpoint:** `https://api.airtable.com/v0/{BASE_ID}/{TABLE_ID}`

**Method:** GET

**Headers:**
```
Authorization: Bearer {AIRTABLE_KEY}
```

**Query Parameters:**
- `maxRecords=100`: Limit results
- `sort[0][field]=Created`: Sort by creation time
- `sort[0][direction]=desc`: Newest first

**Response Structure (src/interface/AirtableResponse.ts:1):**
```typescript
{
  records: [{
    id: string;
    createdTime: string;
    fields: {
      Name: string;
      "Contact Method": "Email" | "Discord" | "Twitter";
      Handle: string;
      "What would you like us to draw?": string;
      "Anything Else?": string;
      Reference?: { url: string }[];
    }
  }]
}
```

#### 2.10.2 Al Jazeera GraphQL API

**Endpoint:** `https://www.aljazeera.com/graphql` (inferred from code)

**Operations:**
- `SingleLiveBlogChildrensQuery`: Fetch live blog structure
- `LiveBlogUpdateQuery`: Fetch latest blog updates

The bot extracts article content and posts to the news webhook channel.

### 2.11 HTTP Server

The Application includes a minimal Express server (src/server/serve.ts:1):

**Endpoints:**
- `GET /` - Returns HTML landing page with project information

**Ports:**
- HTTP: 10080 (default)
- HTTPS: 10443 (when `NODE_ENV=production`)

Note: The server file includes a TODO comment suggesting deletion after Trello integration is complete.

### 2.12 Logging

The Application uses Winston for structured logging (src/utils/logHandler.ts:1):

**Log Levels:**
- `info`: General information (bot startup, scheduled task execution)
- `error`: Error conditions (API failures, Discord errors)

**Log Format:**
```
[TIMESTAMP] LEVEL: MESSAGE
```

**Log Destinations:**
- Console (stdout)
- Debug webhook (errors only)

### 2.13 Error Handling

All errors are caught and:
1. Logged to console via Winston
2. Sent to the debug webhook with error details
3. Presented to users with friendly messages (when applicable)

Example error flow (src/modules/checkAirtableRecords.ts):
```typescript
try {
  // API call
} catch (error) {
  logHandler.error("Error message", error);
  debugHook.send({ content: "Error details" });
}
```

### 2.14 Performance Considerations

- **Message Caching**: Fetches messages in batches of 100 to reduce API calls
- **Duplicate Prevention**: Tracks latest Airtable record ID and news article ID
- **Rate Limiting**:
  - Airtable: 60-minute polling interval
  - News API: 10-minute polling interval
- **Concurrent Limits**: Artists/distributors limited to 2 active tasks each

### 2.15 Security Considerations

- **Environment Variables**: Sensitive tokens stored in `.env` (not committed)
- **Role Verification**: Commands require support role for execution (src/events/onMessageCreate.ts:1)
- **Webhook Validation**: Checks webhook existence before use (src/utils/isValidWebhook.ts:1)
- **Privileged Intents**: Requires approval from Discord for `MessageContent` intent

### 2.16 Troubleshooting

**Bot doesn't start:**
- Verify `TOKEN` is valid in `.env`
- Check Node.js version is 22
- Ensure all dependencies are installed: `pnpm install`

**Webhooks not working:**
- Verify webhook URLs are valid and accessible
- Check webhook permissions in Discord channel settings
- Use `isValidWebhook` utility for validation

**Airtable integration failing:**
- Verify `AIRTABLE_KEY`, `AIRTABLE_BASE_ID`, and `AIRTABLE_TABLE_ID`
- Check Airtable API permissions
- Review Airtable API rate limits

**Scheduled tasks not running:**
- Check server timezone matches expected cron schedule
- Review `onReady.ts` for cron expression syntax
- Check debug webhook for error messages

**Ticket logs not saving:**
- Verify write permissions for `logs/` directory
- Check disk space availability
- Review console for Winston logging errors
