What it is

DiscordChatExporter is a C# application that exports Discord channel message history to multiple formats (HTML, JSON, CSV, plaintext). It uses the Discord API to fetch messages from any channel (DMs, groups, or servers) the authenticated user has access to, preserving markdown formatting, embeds, attachments, reactions, and other rich media features. Monolithic C# project structure: DiscordChatExporter.Core handles message fetching and model serialization; DiscordChatExporter.Cli provides command-line interface with export wrapper logic; DiscordChatExporter.Cli.Tests contains 20+ spec test suites organized by format (HtmlContentSpecs, JsonContentSpecs, etc.) and feature (ForwardSpecs,…

• DiscordChatExporter.Core/Discord/Data/Channel.cs — Core data model for Discord channels; essential for channel identification, metadata, and export targeting.
• DiscordChatExporter.Cli/Commands/Base/ExportCommandBase.cs — Abstract base class for all export commands; defines shared logic for authentication, channel resolution, and export…
• DiscordChatExporter.Cli/Commands/Shared/ThreadInclusionMode.cs — Shared enum controlling thread export behavior; critical for message filtering and export scope decisions across all…

Key cautions & unknowns

• Concentrated ownership — top contributor handles 64% of recent commits
• Discord API authentication requires valid user/bot token (see docs/Token-and-IDs.md for setup); tests access real Discord servers via ChannelIds.cs (requires test environment configuration in Secrets.cs). Export…
• Published-advisory coverage was unavailable for the captured dependencies.
• Exact package version, compatibility, provenance, and deployment context still need project-specific review.
