Why does Iridex need these permissions?

The invite link asks for a specific set of permissions - each one maps to a real feature, not a blanket "just in case".

• Manage Roles - autoroles, reaction roles, temp roles, the Supporter role.
• Manage Channels - creating ticket channels and temp voice channels.
• Kick/Ban/Timeout Members - the moderation commands, only usable by staff with the matching Discord permission themselves.
• Send Messages / Embed Links - basically everything the bot posts.
• Manage Messages - the word filter and anti-spam removing messages, and message-based commands like clear.

A feature isn't working

If Iridex is missing a permission a feature needs, most commands say so directly rather than failing silently. Re-inviting the bot with the link on iridex.me refreshes its permissions without affecting any settings.
