Sentry Issue: BOT-42G

Configured channels do not exist in server: [('rule_alerts', 1386490058739290182)].

This warning is raised here

bot/bot/exts/backend/config_verifier.py

Lines 16 to 32 in f0e4d45

	async def cog_load(self) -> None:
	"""
	Verify channels.
	If any channels in config aren't present in server, log them in a warning.
	"""
	await self.bot.wait_until_guild_available()
	server = self.bot.get_guild(constants.Guild.id)
	server_channel_ids = {channel.id for channel in server.channels}
	invalid_channels = [
	(channel_name, channel_id) for channel_name, channel_id in constants.Channels
	if channel_id not in server_channel_ids
	]
	if invalid_channels:
	log.warning(f"Configured channels do not exist in server: {invalid_channels}.")

Seemingly because it is not actually a channel

bot/bot/constants.py

Lines 92 to 93 in f0e4d45

	# Actually a thread, but for bootstrap purposes we treat it as a channel
	rule_alerts: int = 1386490058739290182

This is pretty minor, the easiest solution is probably to add a special case to ignore this constant in the config verifier.

Is this not being worked on? I am willing to take it up.

If we somehow map rule-alerts to be a thread attached to channel mod-alerts, this could be both checked, validated its in the right channel, and used in botstrap.

I'm thinking that mirroring the existing Webhook/Webhooks configuration makes sense for this.
