Notes
- Nitro month badges and server-boost ladders are tracked separately — see Nitro & boosts.
- Clan / guild-tag icons are server-owned cosmetics (dozens of owner-picked glyphs). They are not classic public_flags profile badges.
- Discord renames and retires flair. If a row fights the client, trust the client.
