New accounts cannot start chats until Reddit considers them established.
Until now the bot would burn a candidate on every invitation Reddit was
always going to reject, with nothing in the dashboard explaining why the
account looked idle.
Two signals feed the verdict. A periodic profile check reads the
account's own age, karma and email verification from about.json and
compares them against configurable thresholds — that is what flags a
brand new account before it wastes anything. A rejected invitation is
authoritative: Reddit has told us directly, so the account is held out of
sending with a backoff that doubles per rejection, and a delivered
invitation clears the flag outright.
An unestablished account takes no new posts (canAcceptPost), raises an
attention item, reports an `unestablished` sending state, and shows its
age/karma evidence on the Accounts page. An unchecked account is always
allowed through, so a first run is never blocked.

The settings page had accumulated five tabs whose names no longer matched
their contents, three different save models, and the whole subreddit
configuration buried under a tab named after a checkbox.
Structure:
- Subreddits becomes its own page: a list showing each community's mode,
tone, computed share of polling, and live sent/reply stats, with one
subreddit edited at a time in a drawer.
- Accounts becomes its own page. It is session lifecycle, not config.
- Settings collapses to one scrolling page: Safety, Pacing (Monitoring and
Rate limits merged), Targeting, Notifications, Advanced.
- The sidebar is grouped, having gone from 9 to 11 destinations.
Saving:
- Every section owns its own draft, validation, risk gate and save via
useConfigCard, submitting only the keys it owns. A syntax error in the
advanced JSON can no longer block a rate-limit change, and enabling an
autonomous policy is its own deliberate commit.
- UnsavedChangesProvider restores the leave-page guard across cards that no
longer share a draft.
Subreddit editing:
- Errors are keyed by field name instead of array index, removing the
defensive invalidation that existed because row indices shifted on add
and remove. Confirming an autonomous mode can no longer be attributed to
the wrong row.
- Weight is shown as the share it actually produces, live while editing.
- Bulk actions cover start/pause polling, tone, policy and removal, because
production runs 30-40 subreddits and per-row editing does not scale.
Bulk policy changes name every subreddit turning autonomous, and
normalise the hybrid mode's turn budget, which has no form to catch it.
Physique targeting moves into its own Targeting card. It sends only
reddit.physiqueTargeting, which the config route applies independently, so
it cannot clobber the pacing card's fields. Turning screening on now warns
that it will reduce how many posts qualify.
Also surfaces the effective sending rate, since the hourly limit and the
minimum delay both throttle and only the binding one matters.
Legacy ?section= links redirect or resolve to anchors.
Fixes found while verifying in a browser: a radio-card rule was shrinking
nested number inputs; .share-preview had no styles; the throughput readout
reported a rate from a blank field; and the reconcile logic warned about a
server change whenever a sibling card saved.
