The import uses math/rand (v1) while the rest of the codebase has migrated to math/rand/v2. This is inconsistent with the pattern used in src/tasks/tasks.go (line 7), src/boost/boost.go (line 10), src/boost/boost_admin.go (line 9), src/boost/contract.go (line 7), and src/boost/roles.go (line 7), which all use math/rand/v2.

Using the v2 API is recommended for Go 1.22+ as it provides better random number generation and doesn't require manual seeding. Change the import to use math/rand/v2 for consistency with the rest of the codebase.

The error handling in LoadStatusMessages differs from the similar LoadTokenComplaints function in the same package (src/ei/token_complaints.go, line 28). LoadTokenComplaints uses log.Fatal when the file cannot be opened, which ensures the application doesn't continue with missing data during startup. LoadStatusMessages logs the error and returns, which could result in an empty StatusMessages slice.

Since both functions are called during initialization (main.go line 142 and tasks.go line 366), consider using log.Fatal for consistency, or document why the different behavior is intentional. If status messages are optional, this should be clearly indicated.
