Context & Goal

The exam command currently contains a lot of business logic, including reward calculations, timer management, and complex database transactions. Moving this logic to a dedicated ExamService will improve testability, maintainability, and keep the command file focused on user interaction.

Dependencies

• None

Affected Files

• shared/modules/economy/exam.service.ts: New file for the exam logic.
• bot/commands/economy/exam.ts: Refactor to use the new service.

Technical Constraints & Strategy

• Implementation: Create an ExamService that handles getExamStatus, takeExam, and registerForExam.
• The command should only handle user input and formatting the response embeds based on the service's result.
• Ensure the Drizzle transactions are correctly handled within the service.

Definition of Done (Binary)

• ExamService implemented with methods for all exam-related operations.
• bot/commands/economy/exam.ts refactored to use the service.
• Logic is covered by unit tests in a new test file.
• Manual verification shows the exam command still works as expected.

New Test Files

• shared/modules/economy/exam.service.test.ts: Unit tests for reward calculations and state transitions.
