🏮 Lamplighter — the bug bot
Post a bug in the forum and watch it get triaged, fixed and shipped.
Lamplighter is how a broken thing becomes a fixed thing. You describe what went wrong, it opens a thread, and the report goes into a pipeline that triages it, proposes a fix, and tells you when it ships. There are no commands — you write a message like a person.
The fastest route is not Discord at all. Every tool has a Report Bug button — bottom-left on the web apps, in the menu on desktop.
- Click Report Bug where the problem happened.
- It captures a screenshot and fills in which tool and page you were on.
- Describe what happened.
- Send.
- Go to the bug forum.
- Start a new post. Tag it with the app it is about — the tag is what routes it.
- Say what you did, what you expected, and what happened instead.
- Attach a screenshot if you have one.
The difference between a bug that gets fixed this week and one that sits for a month is almost always detail.
| Include | Why |
|---|---|
| What you clicked, in order | So it can be reproduced. A bug nobody can reproduce cannot be fixed. |
| What you expected | Sometimes the software is right and the surprise is the real bug. |
| What actually happened | Exact wording of any error. |
| A screenshot | Usually worth the rest combined. |
| Which tool and where | Obvious to you, not to the reader. |
- The bot reacts to confirm it captured your report.
- Reactions on your thread track its status as it moves.
- Comments go in your thread — if more information is needed, that is where you will be asked.
- When it ships you get a ping to confirm the fix worked.
- One bug per thread. Three problems in one post means two get lost.
- Search before posting. If a thread exists, add to it — a second report on the same bug is genuinely useful evidence.
- Feature requests are welcome, just say that is what it is so it is not triaged as broken.
- Screenshots of loot or chat are fine, but crop out anything you would not want public.
Triage happens in the desktop Bug Squasher, which pulls the forum into a queue, runs reports against the right app's source, and proposes fixes for review.
