Reviewer's Guide

Modified the snippet command to reply contextually rather than broadcasting via ctx.send: it inspects message references and uses Message.reply or ctx.reply accordingly, preserving allowed_mentions and falling back if no reference exists.

    User->>Bot: Executes snippet command (e.g., /snippet name)
    activate Bot
    Bot->>Bot: Retrieves snippet text
    alt Command is a reply to an existing message
        participant RepliedMessage as "Message User Replied To"
        Bot->>Bot: Detects command is a reply to RepliedMessage
        Bot->>Bot: resolved_reference = RepliedMessage
        Bot-->>RepliedMessage: reply(snippet_text)
    else Command is not a reply or reference is not a message
        participant CommandMessage as "User's Command Message"
        Bot->>Bot: No valid message reference found
        Bot-->>CommandMessage: reply(snippet_text) to user's command
    end
    deactivate Bot

Lines 80 to 91 in 4b07ab0

	# pagination if text > 2000 characters
	if len(text) <= 2000:
	# Check if there is a message being replied to
	if ctx.message.reference and ctx.message.reference.resolved:
	reference = ctx.message.reference.resolved
	if isinstance(reference, Message):
	await reference.reply(text, allowed_mentions=AllowedMentions.none())
	else:
	await ctx.reply(text, allowed_mentions=AllowedMentions.none())
	else:
	await ctx.reply(text, allowed_mentions=AllowedMentions.none())
	return

This can be simplified to just:

# pagination if text > 2000 characters
if len(text) <= 2000:
    # Check if there is a message being replied to
    reference = getattr(ctx.message.reference, "resolved", None)
    reply_target = reference if isinstance(reference, Message) else ctx

    await reply_target.reply(text, allowed_mentions=AllowedMentions.none())
    return
