X name check
Past handles and display names for an X account.
/twitter name-check reconstructs an account's handle and display-name history from public archives. X itself stores none of this — old handles 404 after a rename.
Needs the Tessera bot in the server. Anyone can run it. Result is private to you.

- Handles — every
@this account used, current or past - Display names — frozen name and
@handlefrom archived tweets - Reuse — this account's past handles, or this handle on other accounts
Empty is a real result. Quiet or new accounts often have nothing archived. Gaps in the timeline are normal.
Each archived tweet is a timestamped photo of both the handle and the display name. Recent years may only show the live pair.
