Establish a process for converting Discord reports into GitHub issues for proper tracking. 2. **Dependency Management Policy**: Create clearer guidelines for plugin dependencies to prevent issues like forced Ollama inclusion, ensuring plugins are truly optional. 3. **Enhanced Plugin Testing Framework**: Develop comprehensive tests for plugin interactions and message routing to catch issues like the knowledge plugin response failure before release. 4. **Platform Diversification Strategy**: Develop a formal approach to platform risk management, ensuring the project isn't overly dependent on any single external service like Twitter/X. 5. **Documentation Improvement**: Create better documentation for environment variable handling with specific examples of proper formatting to prevent configuration errors.
