Chat Runtime

Chat runtime

BlokeBot can receive chat through EventSub or operate through Twitch IRC.

Runtime selection

Setting	Shipped value	Accepted values
TwitchBot:Runtime	EventSub	EventSub, Irc

• EventSub receives chat through Twitch's EventSub WebSocket transport and sends public messages through Helix.
• IRC connects directly to Twitch IRC for chat operation.

Message behavior

Setting	Shipped value	Rule
TwitchBot:ChatMessageSendIntervalSeconds	1	Zero or greater
TwitchBot:DuplicateChatMessageCooldownSeconds	30	Zero or greater
TwitchBot:MaxChatMessageLength	500	Zero or greater
TwitchBot:StartupMessage	Beep boop.	Blank disables the startup message
TwitchBot:PublicChatQueueAlerts:StuckAfterSeconds	30	Greater than zero

IRC connection

Setting	Shipped value
TwitchBot:Connection:Host	irc.chat.twitch.tv
TwitchBot:Connection:Port	6667
TwitchBot:Connection:UseTls	false

The connection model declares a non-empty host and port range of 1..65535. The active startup path currently validates runtime, timing, identity, and policies but does not invoke the IRC connection model's data-annotation validator. Treat those declared constraints as required operator input rather than relying on startup to catch every invalid connection value.

Reconnect behavior is configured in Retry and delivery policies.
