 ### Changelog
 
+- 2.4: CSS editor for Janitor profiles. New banner links to the live-preview editor at tools.from-avalon.com/janitor-profile-maker.
+- 2.3: ECHO. Put ECHO: anywhere in a message and sucker repeats whatever comes after it in the reply — for triggering char-side script and lorebook keywords.
 - 2.2: Added support for directly inputting webp file names or character image links when creating PNG character cards
 - 2.1: updated deps, note about image fetching, list of mirrors
 - 2.0: from Tui: Multimessage support! Tracks changes to character descriptions and scenarios across multiple extractions. Shows version badges, message counts, and provides detailed change history viewer.

+                  Sucker can parrot now. Send a message with ECHO: in it, and
+                  everything after that gets repeated back at the end of the

+                  The usual responses don&apos;t change at all — the echoed part
+                  just tags along after them. The point: some of the fancier
+                  scripts and lorebooks on the platform you suck from only add
+                  their entries when the character says the keyword, not you.
+                  ECHO plants your words on the character&apos;s side of the
+                  chat, those entries fire, and sucker catches whatever they
+                  sneak in. Case doesn&apos;t matter, echo: works too.

+                  Identified an issue where attempting to pull bots with token counts
