## Seasons and champions
Chat supports emoji autocomplete: type `:` followed by a name (for example `:sm`, `:heart`, or `:fire:`), then choose a suggestion with the arrow keys and Enter/Tab, or click/tap it. Escape dismisses suggestions. Selection inserts the actual Unicode emoji at the cursor without sending the message; press Enter again or Send to post. Unknown shortcodes remain unchanged. Suggestions are a built-in curated list, with no external service, and respect the message length limit.
Seasons begin at **00:00 UTC on the UTC date of each astronomical equinox or solstice**, not at the event's exact hour and not on fixed March/June/September/December dates. They are displayed as **Season I, Season II, Season III**, etc., including in the subtitle under **THE BUTTON**. Numbering begins at the earliest saved season (including existing archives on upgrade); its origin is persisted so numbering remains stable across restarts. Each astronomical boundary advances the number, including seasons missed during downtime. Date-based internal IDs and start/end dates remain unchanged. The built-in Meeus equinox/solstice calculation (with periodic and Delta-T corrections) supports 2000–2100 without network access or dependencies. The 2026 boundaries are March 20, June 21, September 23, and December 21; the December 2027 boundary is December 22. Calendar tests check these against USNO data. The far-future calendar is an astronomical estimate; extend/revalidate it before 2101.
At each boundary the server archives the old season and starts a fresh countdown anchored to that midnight. Seasonal points, press history, personal bests, achievements, and milestone progress reset. Accounts, password hashes, login sessions, mailing-list subscriptions, and chat are preserved. Previous press histories remain stored in the season archive; public archives expose only score summaries, not private per-player histories. Old milestone announcements remain visible in chat.
