🚨 Critical — BLOCKING MERGE

Merge conflict detected. The PR's base branch has moved ahead since this was opened, blocking automatic merge.

Fix: Rebase onto current main

git fetch upstream
git checkout fix/folder-existence-checks
git rebase upstream/main  # Resolve any conflicts manually
git push --force-with-lease

🟡 Minor Issue

Inconsistent error handling — bot.js warns and continues, but deploy-commands.js exits with code 1. Both should handle missing directories consistently. Since deploy-commands is a build-time script, exiting is correct; but the mismatch could confuse users.

✅ What's Working

• Proper fs.existsSync() usage
• Clear console messages
• Addresses the exact requirement from Issue Critical & Enhancement Issues — Bounty Board #21 (Item 3)
• Prevents the startup crash scenario
