Partnered convention posters

What it does

/bff, /patas, /fursmeet, /furcamp and /pawstral each post a poster for one furry convention the bot's operators partner with, captioned with how many days are left until it, a randomly picked promotional line, and the event's dates, venue, ticket link and Telegram group. /trex posts a picture from the Trex Furplayer folder and nothing else.

Behaviour that must not change

These six ignore both feature switches. A group that has turned fun and utility off still gets its convention posters — v1 dispatches them above the utility check and outside the fun block, and they are promotional posts for real partners rather than a toy.

Each event's date is hardcoded, and once it passes the countdown walks forward in 365-day steps until it is no longer in the past, while the caption keeps printing the original day and month. That means the number is "days until the same calendar date, some number of years out" and slips a day every four years. It is copied exactly: correcting it would mean guessing real convention dates, which is the operators' call and not the port's. Between five days before an event and the day itself, the caption is replaced by a single YouTube link — v1's placeholder for "it is happening right now", the same link for all five.

The captions are Portuguese for four of the five events and English for Pawstral, whatever language the group is set to. Only the promotional line changes per language, and only one language file has those lines at all. That mismatch is v1's, and it is preserved.

/trex has no v1 code behind it — QA asked for it and v1 never had it. It gets no countdown, because no date for the event exists anywhere in v1, its backend or the QA specs, and inventing one would be making up facts about a real event.

How to verify it

qa/features/fun_partneredcons.feature — QA's six commands plus four scenarios covering the caption, /trex, the ignored feature switches and an un-catalogued poster pool; run with python scripts/cb.py test. By hand in the sandbox: /patas in any group and read the caption's day count against the date in the same caption.
