Benefits:

  1. ✅ Cleaner command list - Only professional/essential commands

  • ✅ All moderation commands still work
  • ✅ All staff management still works
  • ✅ All protection systems still active
  • ✅ Backup and embed builder kept as requested

    'commands.moderation_extended',
    'commands.protection',
    'commands.appeals',

    'events.message_handler',
]
