- prestige color: block equipping the color copy of your highest role,

since the copy sits lower in the hierarchy and demotes your member
  list position; now shows a clear error message instead
- emote credits: add /emote_credits_update command so users can submit
  corrections to existing credits (goes through the same approval flow,
  shows old → new credit in the approval embed and DMs)
- emote credits: add is_update/old_artist columns to pending_credits
  with auto-migration for existing installs
- bot: disable archipelago_monitor cog (unloads it if currently loaded)
