📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughAdded an optional Telegram gateway that connects Telegram long polling to the harness through HTTP and SSE. It supports streamed replies, bot selection, turn interruption, approval and question controls, persisted single-owner access, and token-based setup. ChangesTelegram gateway
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The Telegram gateway may duplicate or lose streamed reply updates and may tell users that failed operations were handled while discarding their messages, resulting in incomplete or misleading conversations. These bounded correctness issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

In@server/gateway/telegram.ts:
- Around line 99-103: Update saveState to log the caught write failure instead
of silently discarding it, including enough error context for operators to
identify that persisting gateway state failed.- Around line 375-381: Update the callback response flow around api and
tg.answerCallback so respond failures are caught and reported to the Telegram
user, including both choice actions and the free-text answer path. Ensure the
callback is answered with an appropriate failure message and the pending
keyboard is no longer left appearing active, while preserving the existing
success behavior.- Around line 172-175: Update activeBot() to persist the selected fallback bot’s
id in state.activeBotId whenever the stored id is missing or no longer matches a
listed bot, while preserving the existing bot selection order and null behavior.- Around line 198-204: Update the overflow branch around stream and the
Telegram_MAX limit so each chunk after parts[0] is sent separately rather than
recombining parts.slice(1). Preserve ordering, and retain only the final chunk
as stream.text with its corresponding messageId and lastEdit so subsequent edits
stay within Telegram's limit.- Around line 252-259: Update handleBroadcast to avoid calling listBots for
every runtime event by maintaining a cached threadId-to-bot mapping; resolve
event.threadId from the cache first, refresh the mapping only when the thread is
missing, and preserve the existing eventBot and active-bot handling.- Around line 180-187: Update flushStream to be asynchronous, edit the streaming
bubble with the first chunk from chunkText(s.text), and await the edit before
any subsequent chunk sends. Update all three flushStream call sites, including
the item.completed path, to await it so Telegram bubbles are emitted in order
without dropping chunk 0.

… failures CodeRabbit review on milind-soni#110, plus one bug found running this live: - flushStream edited the bubble with the LAST chunk and was never awaited, so a long reply lost its head and bubbles could overtake each other. It now settles head-then-rest, in order, and every caller awaits it. - Overflow no longer re-joins the remainder into one oversized body (Telegram rejects >4096, and every later edit would repeat the failure). - A stale activeBotId (deleted bot) made every isActive check false and silently dropped the whole reply stream — activeBot() now repairs and persists the fallback. - handleBroadcast called GET /api/bots per runtime event, i.e. once per streamed token, on an endpoint that serializes every group with its messages. The roster is cached now and re-fetched only on a thread miss. - respond failures were invisible: the callback went unanswered and the keyboard stayed live, so a failed approval looked delivered. Both the button and the free-text path now report and keep the keyboard usable. - saveState swallowed write errors — a security hole, not an inconvenience: without a persisted binding the next /start could claim a gateway that approves shell commands. Found in live use: fetch rejects with a bare "fetch failed" and hides the reason in cause, so an overnight outage produced hundreds of unreadable lines at a fixed 3s retry. Errors now name their cause, retries back off exponentially to a 60s ceiling, and recovery is logged — a quiet log now means a healthy gateway. Card dispatch is logged too, so "did it even go out?" is answerable from the log alone. Tests: 12 gateway tests (added describeError + backoffMs); suite 271 passed.

Acknowledge Telegram updates only after successful handling.
consumeUpdates advances offset before handleUpdate completes, and handleUpdate catches its own errors. A failed harness request therefore logs the error and permanently skips the update. Advance offset only when handleUpdate succeeds.
Before enabling replay, add server-side idempotency keyed by u.update_id. The current /messages, /respond, and /interrupt handlers do not enforce such a key, so a transport failure after /messages commits can submit the same turn again.

Validate the selected bot before persisting activeBotId.
The callback stores rest[0] before Line 436 verifies that the bot still exists. If the user presses an old keyboard after bot deletion, runtime events fail the active-bot check until another message invokes activeBot().
Refresh and validate the bot first. Only then update state.activeBotId and clear stream.

What
A Telegram gateway — chat with your bots from your phone. OpenMausBot keeps the messaging-app shape, but only on the Mac; the thing that makes the original compelling is that the bots live in your pocket. This closes that gap without building a mobile app.
It is an optional standalone process (
pnpm gateway:telegram) that rides the existing harness HTTP+SSE contract — zero changes to the app or server, zero new dependencies (plainfetchlong polling against api.telegram.org).How it works
/start//botsshows the roster as inline buttons; pick a bot, then just type. Replies stream in live — the Telegram message grows by throttled edits (4096-char chunking rolls into fresh bubbles).✅ Allow / ❌ Denywired straight to/api/bots/:id/respond. Questions offer the agent's choices as buttons, or free-text via reply. Asks from every bot come through (named); replies stream only for the active one, other bots' finished turns arrive as a📬 <name> finishednudge./stopinterrupts the active bot. Timed-out asks keep the harness's fail-closed behavior — the gateway then tells you it was resolved without you./startbecomes the owner (persisted in~/.openmausbot/telegram-gateway.json); every other chat is refused. This thing can approve shell commands, so it is deliberately single-user.Token via
TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKENenv or{"telegram": {"token": "…"}}in~/.openmausbot/config.json. Docs indocs/telegram-gateway.md.Verified
pnpm typecheckclean;pnpm test267 passed / 8 skipped (8 new gateway tests: chunking, keyboards, ask headers).📬 finishednudges, and SSE auto-reconnect straight through a harness restart.rm -rfon a throwaway directory is refused byautoDecision(destructive), so it reached the phone: gateway loggedsent permission card … → message 44, the ✅ Allow tap came back through the callback, the harness recordedanswered=allow, the command ran (Bash ok=true) and the directory is gone from the filesystem. Deny and the 15-minute broker timeout were exercised on earlier runs and behave as designed (nothing executed, keyboard cleared, user told it was resolved without them).auto-approve.tssettles them server-side, and the agent CLIs classify most read-only commands as safe. Only genuinely destructive commands, secret-adjacent paths and questions surface. Worth knowing when testing this.Scope (v1)
Text turns, streamed replies, approvals/questions, interrupt. Not yet: rooms, voice, images/screens, multi-user — happy to follow up if this shape fits.
