Running locally

Create a Discord application and bot at the Discord Developer Portal, and copy the bot token.
Provide the token without committing it (user-secrets):
```
dotnet user-secrets set "Discord:Token" "<your-bot-token>" --project src/RustPlusBot.Host
```
This works because src/RustPlusBot.Host/RustPlusBot.Host.csproj already contains a UserSecretsId.
Invite the bot to a test guild with the applications.commands and bot scopes.
Run the bot:
```
dotnet run --project src/RustPlusBot.Host
```
On first run the host applies the EF Core migration and creates rustplusbot.db in the working directory.
In the guild, use the slash commands per the provisioning flow below.

A missing or empty Discord:Token makes the host fail fast at startup with a clear OptionsValidationException.

Provisioning the workspace

Invite the bot with the Manage Channels, Manage Roles, Manage Messages, and Embed Links permissions.
In your test guild, run /setup. The bot creates a RustPlusBot category with #information, #setup, and #settings channels and posts its anchored messages.
Re-running /setup is safe — it reconciles and repairs without creating duplicates.
Change the language from the selector in #settings.
In Development (Workspace:EnableDangerCommands = true), use /workspace simulate-server name:<n> ip:<host> port:<port> to create a server category, and /workspace reset to delete the whole workspace.
