====== v6.6.22: Combined Mania styles ======

**Deployment status (October 1, 2026):** validated and queued for automatic empty-safe deployment. v6.6.18 is still active at this review. Check [[status:start|Live lobbies]] or the current-version notice on [[updates:start|the release index]] before using the new syntax.

===== What changes =====
Mania players can request several patterns at once with ''.style jack chordjack ln'', ''.style ln,technical'' or ''.style stream|chordjack''. Spaces, commas, pipes, slashes, ''+'' and ''&'' separate styles, and existing aliases such as ''jacks'', ''long notes'' and ''tech'' work inside a request. A direct style command can take another style too, for example ''.jack chordjack''.

Future picks favor fresh charts matching **all** requested styles. If those run out, the bot favors charts matching the greatest number requested, then charts with the fewest unrelated tags. A clean Stream-only or Chordjack-only chart therefore wins over a Stream chart also tagged LN and Jack when Stream + Chordjack is requested and no fresh chart has both. Combined requests stay within maps matching at least one requested style; the bot does not announce fallback in chat. Single-style Mania fallback also becomes quiet.

''.style variety'' alone returns to the full eligible pool. In ''.style variety|stream'', Variety is ignored and Stream is selected. Farm remains available only in rooms where it is enabled. Requests affect future picks; visible queued maps stay unchanged. Hard room filters and native key-count boundaries still apply.

This validated release also carries the previously staged v6.6.19–v6.6.21 changes. See [[commands:style|exact syntax]], [[wiki:mania_styles|style definitions]], and [[wiki:style_fallback|fallback behavior]].
