# US-003: Capture player and server activity

As a **server analyst**, I want significant server and player activity captured so that I can reconstruct participation and communication activity downstream.

## Acceptance criteria

- [x] Plugin startup and shutdown produce server lifecycle events.
- [x] Player joins and quits produce events with player identity.
- [x] Non-cancelled public chat produces an event containing the complete message and whether the Bukkit event was asynchronous.
- [x] Recognized explicit private-message commands capture the command, recipient token, and complete message.
- [x] Recognized reply commands are marked as replies and omit a recipient.
- [x] Private-message observations report whether the underlying command was cancelled.
- [x] Standard aliases and namespaced variants documented by the project are recognized.
