+# Task: Comprehensive Warning System (#250)
+
+## Branch: `feat/issue-250-warning-system`
+## Closes: #250
+
+## Context
+There's already a basic `/warn` command (`src/commands/warn.js`) that creates `mod_cases` entries and has auto-escalation in `src/modules/moderation.js`. We need to build out the full warning lifecycle.
+
+## What Exists
+- `/warn` command → creates a mod_case with action='warn'
+- `mod_cases` table (guild_id, target_id, moderator_id, action, reason, case_number, created_at)
+- `checkEscalation()` in moderation.js — checks warn count against thresholds
+- `executeModAction()` utility in `src/utils/modAction.js`
+- Audit log integration (`src/api/routes/auditLog.js`)
+- Members API already queries warning counts
+
+## Deliverables
+
+### 1. Database Migration
+Create migration `007_warnings.cjs`:
+- Add `expires_at TIMESTAMPTZ` column to `mod_cases` (nullable, for decay/expiry)
+- Add `expired BOOLEAN DEFAULT false` column to `mod_cases`
+- Add `edited_at TIMESTAMPTZ` column to `mod_cases`
+- Add `edited_by VARCHAR(20)` column to `mod_cases`
+- Add `original_reason TEXT` column to `mod_cases` (stores original before edit)
+- Add `removed BOOLEAN DEFAULT false` column to `mod_cases`
+- Add `removed_by VARCHAR(20)` column to `mod_cases`
+- Add `removed_at TIMESTAMPTZ` column to `mod_cases`
+- Add index on `(guild_id, target_id, action, expired, removed)` for active warning queries
+
+### 2. New Commands
+
+#### `/warnings <user>` — View warning history
+- Shows paginated warning list for a user (embed with fields)
+- Shows active (non-expired, non-removed) count prominently
+- Each warning: case #, reason, moderator, date, status (active/expired/removed)
+- Mod or admin
+
+#### `/editwarn <case_number> <new_reason>` — Edit a warning reason
+- Updates reason, stores original in `original_reason`, sets `edited_at` and `edited_by`
+- Creates audit log entry
+- Mod or admin
+
+#### `/removewarn <case_number> [reason]` — Remove/void a warning
+- Soft-deletes: sets `removed=true`, `removed_by`, `removed_at`
+- Does NOT delete the record (audit trail)
+- Creates audit log entry
+- Mod or admin
+
+#### `/clearwarnings <user> [reason]` — Clear all active warnings for a user
+- Bulk soft-delete all active warnings
+- Creates audit log entry
+- Mod or admin, requires confirmation
+
+**IMPORTANT:** Also update `src/commands/warn.js` to change `adminOnly = true` to `adminOnly = false` (or use moderator permission check). All warning commands should be usable by moderators, not just admins.
+
+### 3. Warning Decay/Expiry Engine
+In `src/modules/moderation.js` or new `src/modules/warningDecay.js`:
+- On bot startup and on a configurable interval (default: every hour), scan for expired warnings
+- Mark `expired=true` where `expires_at < NOW()` and `expired=false` and `removed=false`
+- `checkEscalation()` should only count active warnings (not expired/removed)
+- Config: `moderation.warnings.decayDays` (default: null = never expire)
+- When a new `/warn` is issued, set `expires_at = NOW() + decayDays` if configured
+
+### 4. Escalation Improvements
+Update `checkEscalation()` in `src/modules/moderation.js`:
+- Only count active warnings (`expired=false AND removed=false`)
+- Support configurable escalation actions: `timeout`, `kick`, `ban`
+- Config schema: `moderation.escalation.thresholds[].action` (currently hardcoded)
+
+### 5. DM Notification
+When a warning is issued:
+- If `moderation.warnings.dmNotification` is true (default: true), DM the user
+- Message: "You have been warned in {server} for: {reason}. You now have {count} active warning(s)."
+- Gracefully handle blocked DMs (log warning, don't fail)
+
+### 6. API Routes
+Create `src/api/routes/warnings.js`:
+- `GET /api/v1/guilds/:guildId/warnings` — list warnings (paginated, filterable by user)
+- `GET /api/v1/guilds/:guildId/warnings/:caseNumber` — single warning detail
+- `PATCH /api/v1/guilds/:guildId/warnings/:caseNumber` — edit reason
+- `DELETE /api/v1/guilds/:guildId/warnings/:caseNumber` — soft-remove
+- `DELETE /api/v1/guilds/:guildId/users/:userId/warnings` — clear all for user
+- All routes require auth + admin permission check
+
+### 7. Config Schema
+Add to config defaults:
+```json
+{
+  "moderation": {
+    "warnings": {
+      "dmNotification": true,
+      "decayDays": null,
+      "maxPerPage": 10
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 8. Tests
+Create `tests/commands/warnings.test.js`:
+- Test `/warn` creates case with correct fields
+- Test `/warnings` shows history
+- Test `/editwarn` updates reason + audit trail
+- Test `/removewarn` soft-deletes + audit trail
+- Test `/clearwarnings` bulk removes
+- Test escalation only counts active warnings
+- Test decay engine marks expired warnings
+- Test DM notification (success + blocked DM)
+- Test API routes (CRUD + auth)
+- Test pagination
+
+## Important Notes
+- Follow existing patterns in `src/commands/` and `src/utils/modAction.js`
+- Use Winston logger from `src/logger.js`, NEVER `console.*`
+- Use existing `checkPermissions` patterns for admin checks
+- Keep the migration backward-compatible (all new columns nullable/default)
+- Run `pnpm lint && pnpm test` before committing
+- Commit progressively (migration first, then commands, then tests)
