Of the framework

Java 8 may be necessary to play on nethack.xd.cm due to a JDK bug
if monsters dig out parts of shops in minetown while the bot is entering, the entire level may be marked as a shop and the bot will likely loop trying to price-id things
amnesia may break item identification for named items and cause a loop (should forget facts about forgotten names but it doesn't always work)
very rarely the scraper gets stuck in unusual situations (eg. many potions breaking during farming). should use vt_tiledata instead. the auto-unstuck mechanism after 3 idle minutes usually fixes the situation however.
baalzebub level and some other lairs could use more pre-mapping and faster recog, the bot is usually digging out weird patterns.
items with really long labels (blessed +0 thoroughly rusty thoroughly corroded ...) may cut off before "(being worn)" and cause issues.
may get stuck in sokoban when boulders get destroyed (monster with a striking wand)
if two same direction sets of stairs get generated on a level with possibly ambiguous branching (mines range, vlad range) may get confused about which leads where (hard to handle as the bot may randomly appear on the other stair or elsewhere when it descends for the first time)
zapping spells is not implemented
multidrop is not implemented
only valkyrie and samurai have the quest mapped, other roles will get stuck
sliming is not handled (doesn't have a reliable message when fixed)
rare unhandled prompt "That jade ring looks pretty. May I have it?" [yn] (n)

may reach the castle without a wand of striking at get stuck
when it fails uncursing invocation artifacts it gets stuck
if fountains at Oracle don't yield Excalibur will dip in minetown and anger guards
may get stoned by medusa if she descends
may name a fake Amulet of Yendor as real if Rodney enters the sanctum with a fake (should bag-id)
unbagging gold piece by piece
should spend less time exploring during the ascension run
covetous monsters should be handled more efficiently
doesn't recover if invocation artifacts fall into water or lava (but tries to avoid it)
if rodney steals the amulet and gets ported downstairs by the mysterious force, bot will keep looking for him upstairs
farming will likely fail if there's a trapdoor or a hole or when a djinni appears at the sink
when missing a usable ring of levitation, bot can't enter Rodney's tower and gets stuck searching
may hit peacefuls when blind
hits gas spores even when peacefuls are around
