Effect migration: async/await files remaining

[vcarl]

Overview

The codebase is mid-migration to Effect-TS. Command handlers and core business logic are migrated, but Discord event handlers and some server-side models remain async/await.

Migration Priority (by dependency order)

Phase 1: Leaf Nodes (No Blockers)

• app/discord/reactjiChanneler.ts - Self-contained, 119 LOC
• app/discord/utils.ts - getOrFetchChannel helper

Phase 2: Blocker Dependencies

• app/commands/report/userLog.ts - logUserMessageLegacy() blocks automod + honeypot

Phase 3: Primary Event Handlers

• app/discord/activityTracker.ts - Already partially Effect-ified, 195 LOC
• app/discord/honeypotTracker.ts - Blocked by userLog, 128 LOC
• app/discord/onboardGuild.ts - Simple, 60 LOC

Phase 4: Final Event Handlers

• app/discord/automod.ts - Blocked by userLog, 69 LOC

Phase 5: Orchestration (LAST)

• app/discord/gateway.ts - Orchestrates all others, 280 LOC

discordSdk.ts Expansion Needed

Missing interaction helpers (currently inline Effect.tryPromise everywhere):

• deferReply, deferUpdate, reply, update, editReply, followUp
• deleteMessage
• resolveReactionPartial, fetchReactionUsers

File Structure Issues to Address

1. Bidirectional dependencies between layers (gateway ↔ commands ↔ discord/client)
2. Command registration scattered across 4 files
3. Escalation system has 3+ entry points
4. Helpers directory overloaded (27 files with mixed concerns)
5. Dual report implementations (legacy userLog vs Effect automodLog)
