This PR migrates the fruitbot from the legacy Nostrum consumer pattern to the modern Nostrum Bot API introduced in recent versions.

Changes Made

Consumer Pattern Migration

The old pattern using use Nostrum.Consumer with manual Consumer.start_link(__MODULE__) has been replaced with the new @behaviour Nostrum.Consumer pattern managed by Nostrum.Bot:

Before:

defmodule Fruitbot.NostrumConsumer do
  use Nostrum.Consumer
  
  def start_link do
    Consumer.start_link(__MODULE__)
  end
end

After:

defmodule Fruitbot.NostrumConsumer do
  @behaviour Nostrum.Consumer
  # start_link removed - managed by Nostrum.Bot
end

Supervisor Tree Modernization

Updated the supervisor to use the new Nostrum.Bot child spec with comprehensive bot options:

bot_options = %{
  name: :fruitbot,
  consumer: Fruitbot.NostrumConsumer,
  intents: [:guilds, :message_content, :guild_messages],
  wrapped_token: fn -> System.get_env("DISCORD_TOKEN") end
}

children = [
  # ... other children
  {Nostrum.Bot, bot_options}
]

API Updates

  • Updated message creation from Api.create_message/2 to Nostrum.Api.Message.create/2
  • Existing Nostrum.Api.get_channel_messages/2 calls remain compatible
  • Improved command handling flow in the consumer

Configuration Changes

Moved from config.exs-based Nostrum configuration to supervisor-managed bot options, providing better control over bot lifecycle and configuration.

Benefits

  • Future-proof: Aligns with current Nostrum API patterns and best practices
  • Better supervision: Cleaner supervision tree with proper error handling
  • Maintained functionality: All existing Discord commands and chat bridge features preserved
  • Modern architecture: Uses recommended patterns for Elixir/OTP applications

Testing

The migration maintains all existing functionality:

  • Discord bot commands (!next, !advice, !commands, etc.)
  • Chat bridge between Discord and hotdog lounge
  • Bot filtering and message handling logic

No breaking changes to end-user functionality.
