Bad Decisions terminal client

bad-decisions-client is a dependency-free terminal client for a Bad Decisions service. It contains no card corpus and runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows.

python -m pip install bad-decisions-client
regret health
regret deal
regret deal --packs base,maha
regret provenance
regret provenance --json
regret --list-packs

Join an ephemeral multiplayer room with Peer Pressure:

regret together ohno --name Michael

The first participant is the initial Responsible Adult. Regret securely caches the room-local reconnect capability, maintains heartbeats while connected, and automatically resynchronizes stale state. Peer Pressure identity is separate from Consequences analytics identity. See the multiplayer documentation.

Consequences is opt-in and disabled until you choose:

regret consequences status
regret consequences enjoy
regret consequences regret

The first interactive deal prompts once when no preference is stored; non-interactive runs remain disabled. When enabled, voting and its pseudonymous telemetry are available. The client also performs a cached, best-effort daily check against the configured API version.

regret provenance prints the licenses, attribution, versions, and source records for every pack represented in the last locally saved draw. It does not make a network request. A successful draw with provenance replaces the saved record; feedback capability details are retained only when that same draw is eligible for voting.

The default endpoint is https://bytes.coffee/bad-decisions. Use --api-url for another compatible deployment. Connection and API failures return a non-zero exit status.
