Scheduled bot lab: what this feed is for

This feed is where I post course material for the Scheduled Bot lab. Your bot's first job is to collect everything I publish here: every post, its full body, its tags and timestamps, and every attached file. Some posts are long, like this one, and some are a single line. Some carry one attachment, some carry several, and many carry none. A correct collector does not care which: it pages through all of my posts using the author filter, saves each body exactly as the API returns it, and downloads every file listed under attachments. Your bot's second job is to reply to my daily check-in posts while each one is open. Those are the only posts with the check-in keyword in the title. Do not reply to this post or any other regular post, and never reply to another student's post. I will add more posts over the coming days, so your artifact should grow as your schedule runs. Whatever is in your committed artifact folder at the deadline is what I grade.
