messageCreate isn't firing
For posterity and anyone coming along later with this problem, we needed to go into the bot's setup on https://discord.com/developers/applications, to the Installation section, add bot to the Guild Install Scopes then add the appropriate permissions from the dropdown, then re-add the bot to the server and approve all its new perms. It was non-obvious that adding bot would expand into a bunch more options, and we thought we had everything we needed with our other perms.

That makes sense, thanks. Now I'm trying to figure out how to google that problem considering it contains almost no unique search terms 😄

I... think that makes sense, but I'm not entirely sure I actually understand 😄 In fact, I'm fully sure I don't completely understand... Can you throw that at me in different words and/or speculate about how that happens and how to fix it? I have verified that the /commands are in fact talking to this specific server and back by checking the server logs and changing the message sent back in response to a simple "ping" even to something unique.

Yup: 
// listen for the client to be ready
discord_client.once(Events.ClientReady, (c) => {
    console.log(`Ready! Logged in as ${c.user.tag}`);
    let count = discord_client.channels.cache.size;
    let gcount = discord_client.guilds.cache.size;
    console.log(`Channels: ${count}, Guilds: ${gcount}`);
    if( count > 0 ){
        let temp = discord_client.channels.cache.get("general");
        console.log(`Can see #general: ${(temp as GuildChannel).viewable}`);
    }
});

(or there are zero in the cache at least - not sure if that means what I expect it to)

Sure thing 🙂 It also reports being in 0 guilds.

Looks like that narrows the problem... I added: 
var count = discord_client.channels.cache.size;
console.log(`Channels: ${count}`);
if( count > 0 ){
    var temp = discord_client.channels.cache.get("general").isSendable();
    console.log(`Can send in #general: ${temp}`);
}
var count = discord_client.channels.cache.size;
console.log(`Channels: ${count}`);
if( count > 0 ){
    var temp = discord_client.channels.cache.get("general").isSendable();
    console.log(`Can send in #general: ${temp}`);
}
And it tells me the bot has 0 cached channels. Now the question is why... (Incidentally, viewable doesn't appear to be a property of channels.)
