Problem

/admin-maintenance in commands/admin/management.py showed a success embed but never set any state. No flag was set, no commands were blocked.

Root Cause

The command had a placeholder comment: "This would typically set a global flag or database value. For now, we'll just show the interface."

Solution

1. Added self.maintenance_mode: bool = False to SBABot.__init__ in bot.py
2. Registered a global @self.tree.interaction_check in setup_hook that intercepts every slash command interaction — returns False (with ephemeral message) for non-admin users when maintenance_mode is True
3. Updated admin_maintenance command to set self.bot.maintenance_mode = is_enabling and log the state change

Key Pattern

Discord.py's CommandTree.interaction_check is the correct hook for global command blocking. Register via @bot.tree.interaction_check inside setup_hook. Returning False prevents the command from executing.

Files Changed

• bot.py — flag init + global tree check
• commands/admin/management.py — set flag + log state change

Notes

• Flag is in-memory only (resets on restart)
• Admins (guild administrator permission) bypass the block
• 930 tests pass
