The helper now uses moderation state as an incremental cursor store, persists repo commit cutoffs through the canonical MessagePack-backed state seam, and suppresses already-injected commits by default so repeated sweeps return only genuinely new motion."}

Fixed by adding scripts/send-discord-message.ps1 plus BOM-aware content-file reads in scripts/send-discord-message.mjs, and steering the moderation loop through node scripts/export-moderation-context.mjs instead of raw Get-Content for doctrine/state bundles."}
