Users can now inspect bouncer state and manage it from their IRC client by sending PRIVMSG to *bouncer (or bouncer). Supported commands: HELP, STATUS, INFO, UPTIME, NETWORKS, CREDS. Responses arrive as NOTICE messages. All commands are case-insensitive. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
