rsync (3.5.0+ds1-0+deb13u1) trixie-security; urgency=medium
In order to fix 33 CVEs, I have decided to bump the package to 3.5.0 rather

Find the bugs your users are complaining about: mining App Store reviews with Python
Your one-star reviews are the cheapest bug reports you will ever get. People take the time to write down what broke, on which device, after which update, and they do it in public. The trouble is reading them: the App Store shows one country at a time, mixes praise with complaints, and has no export button.
This guide pulls the low-star reviews for an app into Python, then answers three questions a product or QA team actually asks:
Where are the complaints coming from?

My Discord bot's auto-role setting said ON in 127 servers. It worked in 2.
The dashboard showed the toggle on. The status command said enabled. No member had ever received a role.
I found this while working on something else. A dashboard to-do claimed that auto-roles and my verification gate "both act on join and conflict", and asked me to add a warning about the clash. Before building the warning I went to check how the two interact.
They don't interact, because auto-roles had no code path on join at all. The member-join handler never touched them. The only plac...

Discord gives your bot exactly 100 slash commands. I hit 100 and found out from a failing test.
Discord limits an app to 100 global slash commands. Subcommands and subcommand groups do not count toward it. My bot, Akiko, sits at exactly 100.
I learned where the wall is the hard way. I added a /settings command, the total became 101, and a test failed with expected 101 to be less than or equal to 100 . In production the same mistake shows up as Discord error code 30032 when you deploy your commands.
