# Changelog

## 0.17.5: Screenshot Refresh

- `[Docs]` Refreshed the package screenshot.

## 0.17.4: Native Rich Markdown Splitter Hotfix

- `[Rich Markdown]` Rewrap oversized fenced code, display-math, and fully wrapped inline-formatting blocks when splitting native Rich Markdown at Telegram transport limits. Impact: very long structured Markdown blocks no longer produce invalid partial Rich Markdown chunks, so final assistant replies can stay native without losing long code/math/formatted output.
- `[Tests]` Added regressions for oversized fenced code, display math, and inline formatting split behavior. Impact: future native splitter changes must preserve structurally valid chunks beyond Telegram's single-message size limit.

## 0.17.3: Native Draft Preview Hotfix

- `[Rich Markdown]` Normalize multiline display-math blocks written as `$$` / content / `$$` into Telegram-supported `math` code fences before native Rich Markdown delivery, while preserving literal delimiters inside code fences. Impact: assistant replies following the Telegram prompt guidance for block formulas no longer risk making the whole Rich Markdown message render as raw Markdown.
- `[Preview]` Removed assistant plain-message preview fallback paths; failed native draft frames are recorded and skipped because partial Markdown can be temporarily invalid while the final answer remains valid. Draft delivery now sends only structurally closed Markdown prefixes, holding back unclosed inline spans, links, fenced code, comments, and display-math blocks until a safe boundary exists. Impact: assistant previews stay on Telegram's native Rich Draft API and no longer create raw-Markdown fallback bubbles.
- `[Validation]` Live Telegram smoke-tested native draft/final Rich Markdown delivery with sections, lists, code fences, links, `$$` display math, and inline buttons after reload. Impact: the `0.17.3` hotfix behavior is verified in the target Telegram client path, not only by local tests.

## 0.17.2: Indented List Rich Markdown Hotfix

- `[Rich Markdown]` Neutralized indented list markers before native Rich Markdown delivery by replacing leading list indentation with non-breaking spaces while preserving top-level list markers. Impact: assistant replies with bold section headers followed by two-space-indented bullets containing slash/hyphen text, `with`, and inline code no longer render raw Markdown or truncate around the inline-code span.
- `[Preview]` Pinned the same normalization path for native draft previews and editable/final Rich Markdown messages. Impact: risky replies use consistent Markdown safety behavior across draft, fallback edit, and final delivery paths.
- `[Tests]` Added regression coverage for the discovered formatting-only and truncation-risk fixtures, including payload-tail preservation through native Markdown splitting and send delivery. Impact: future Rich Markdown parser changes are less likely to reintroduce partial Telegram messages.

## 0.17.1: Rich Markdown Parser Hotfix

- `[Rich Markdown]` Normalize Bot-API-fragile source before native Rich Markdown delivery, including space-after-marker blockquotes and dollar-prefixed ticker atoms such as `$BLDR` / `$NTVE`, prefer Telegram `rich_message` blocks over raw `text`/`caption` when extracting quoted reply context for prompts, and keep Telegram copyability guidance generic by recommending inline code for short copyable literals. Impact: assistant replies are less likely to render as raw Markdown on Telegram Rich Message parser/client edges, replying to a native Rich Markdown bot message no longer injects raw Markdown source into `[reply]`, and prompts nudge copyable identifiers without ticker-specific bloat.

## 0.17.0: Native Rich Markdown Delivery

- `[Rich Markdown]` Assistant and guest replies now use Telegram-native Rich Message APIs directly: final assistant Markdown goes through `sendRichMessage`, streaming drafts go through `sendRichMessageDraft`, editable fallback previews finalize through `editMessageText.rich_message`, and guest replies use `InputRichMessageContent`. Impact: model-authored Markdown reaches Telegram as native Rich Markdown instead of passing through the legacy Markdown-to-HTML assistant path.
- `[Preview UX]` Streaming preview is now a thin Rich Draft lifecycle controller with serialized flushes, no default debounce, no assistant rendering dependency, and no post-final draft-clear call. Impact: live Telegram clients get smoother draft updates and avoid duplicate final messages, blank finalization gaps, or the transient animated three-dot block observed during draft clearing.
- `[UI Boundary]` Bridge-owned commands, menus, status messages, queue controls, buttons, and sections remain explicit Telegram HTML/plain UI by default, while companion sections can opt into Markdown/HTML/plain per view. Impact: native Rich Markdown improves model-authored replies without making hand-authored bot UI harder to maintain.
- `[API And Limits]` Added typed Rich Message send/draft helpers, disabled automatic entity detection for assistant/guest Rich Markdown, and split native Markdown at Telegram Rich Message character/block limits while keeping reply metadata on the first chunk and reply markup on the final chunk. Impact: technical output avoids accidental entities and long replies stay within Bot API limits.
- `[Docs And Tests]` Added `docs/telegram-bot-api-rich-messages.md` as the durable local Bot API reference, updated README/outbound/public API/sections/architecture/prompt/AGENTS guidance, kept formula prompting compact around `$...$` / `$$...$$`, and added regressions for native delivery, guest replies, preview lifecycle, split replies, and the UI/compat rendering boundary. Impact: the release behavior is documented, covered, and easier to preserve.

## 0.16.6: Telegram Review Hardening Hotfix

- `[Guest Mode]` Deny `guest_message` updates until the bridge already has a paired Telegram user. Impact: guest mode can no longer become the first pairing surface or trigger guest file/handler processing before explicit DM pairing.
- `[Lifecycle]` Unref the compaction observer fallback timer when the host timer supports it. Impact: headless or shutdown paths are less likely to linger until the 5-minute safety timeout.
- `[Shutdown]` Stop polling before clearing active-turn/abort state, keep the abort controller visible until the polling promise settles, and record typing-cleanup failures without skipping polling abort. Impact: session shutdown and polling cleanup ordering is more deterministic.
- `[Replies]` Scope transport-level reply deduplication by chat id. Impact: equal Telegram message ids in different chats no longer suppress valid reply metadata for each other.
- `[Buttons]` Consume one-shot `telegram_button` callback actions after the first successful resolve. Impact: repeated taps on an old assistant-authored button no longer enqueue duplicate prompts.
- `[Buttons]` Centralized Telegram `callback_data` byte-limit guards for generated inline keyboards outside the section helper path. Impact: oversized generated button callbacks fail locally before Telegram rejects the message.
- `[Diagnostics]` Record `answerCallbackQuery` transport failures in runtime API diagnostics while keeping callback handling non-fatal. Impact: `/telegram-status` can explain failed Telegram callback acknowledgements instead of losing the signal silently.
- `[Tests]` Added regressions for shutdown during pending control, long-text, and media-group dispatch, for settings menu callbacks persisting voice/time changes to `telegram.json`, for malformed/boundary Markdown rendering, and for runtime outbound delivery retrying a transient Telegram API failure. Impact: high-risk queue/timer/settings/rendering/API paths are pinned at the bridge boundary.
- `[Docs]` Documented which environment-driven transport defaults should be set before launch because module-load constants intentionally capture them.
- `[Backlog]` Captured and narrowed the non-blocking 2026-06 review-swarm follow-ups for lifecycle shutdown hardening, reply/callback/button state cleanup, validation coverage, and bindings maintainability.

## 0.16.5: Context-Aware Prompt Guidance Hotfix

- `[Prompt Guidance]` Made before-agent-start Telegram guidance context-aware: unconfigured sessions receive no bridge suffix, local/TUI prompts receive only explicit direct-delivery guidance, and Telegram-originated turns keep the full inbound, phone-width, voice, and button contract. Impact: ordinary local replies no longer get raw Telegram action-comment syntax unless the current turn actually comes from Telegram.
- `[Docs]` Recorded the product boundary that `pi-telegram` is a mobile companion for a live Pi session, not a remote terminal, PTY supervisor, or process launcher. Telegram controls should stay within Pi's extension-facing APIs; true session replacement such as Telegram `/new` should wait for a public Pi hook that preserves interactive runtime and TUI semantics.

## 0.16.4: Follow-Up And Runtime Mode Hotfix

- `[Runtime]` Feature-detect Pi `ctx.mode` and keep `print`/`json` runs passive by blocking polling start/resume in those modes. Impact: CLI/headless sessions can finish local work without inheriting Telegram polling, while `tui`/`rpc` and older Pi runtimes keep existing behavior.
- `[Queue]` Forward queued Telegram prompts and unknown callback fallbacks to Pi with explicit `followUp` delivery semantics. Impact: Telegram input keeps the existing non-steering queue contract even when Pi's native streaming-message API requires an explicit busy-run policy.

## 0.16.3: Ownership And Shutdown Hotfix

- `[Ownership]` Lock-gated proactive local/headless final-result push so only the current `/telegram-connect` owner can send non-Telegram agent-end replies to the paired chat, while accepted Telegram turns and queued work still finalize session-locally after polling ownership moves away. Impact: child/headless/non-owner instances no longer leak unrelated local results into Telegram.
- `[Shutdown]` Made polling retry sleep abort-aware, `unref()`ed non-critical Telegram housekeeping timers, and routed registered session shutdown through the composed lifecycle runtime so session context cleanup runs with queue and polling cleanup. Impact: shutdown and print/headless runs are less likely to stay alive on retry/debounce/typing/preview timers, and direct-delivery ownership context is cleared at the session boundary.
- `[Tests]` Added regressions for inherited child lock refusal, child-process no-poll ownership, child-process direct-tool non-owner refusal, proactive owner/non-owner/stale/off states, queued dispatch after lock movement, abort-during-retry polling sleep, process-level session shutdown, and real `pi -p` exit/no-leak paths with a local custom provider. Impact: the cross-instance ownership, queue, and shutdown contracts are pinned from unit coverage through CLI smoke coverage.
- `[Status]` Changed `/telegram-status` bot identity fallback from `not configured` to `unknown` when a bot token exists but the bot username is absent. Impact: live sessions that are paired and polling no longer look unconfigured only because identity metadata is missing.
- `[Docs]` Documented ownership, proactive-push, timer/shutdown, and multi-extension prompt-boundary contracts in README and `/docs`. Impact: companion extensions get clearer boundaries without adding a core question/prompt-mirroring API.

## 0.16.2: Screenshot Refresh Hotfix

- `[Docs]` Refreshed the package screenshot. Impact: npm and repository previews show the current Telegram bridge UI without changing runtime behavior.

## 0.16.1: Disconnected Queue Status Hotfix

- `[Status]` Keep showing the local Telegram queue count in the TUI status bar when polling ownership moves to another Pi instance and the bridge reads as disconnected. Impact: the singleton Telegram control lock can move without hiding pending session-local Telegram prompt work from the original agent.

## 0.16.0: Telegram Extension Commands

- `[API]` Added `registerTelegramCommand()` on the public `/commands` subpath so companion extensions can explicitly provide Telegram-native slash commands without adding workflow-specific commands to core. Built-in bridge commands stay reserved, extension command names must be Bot API safe, duplicate extension names are rejected, commands stay hidden unless `showInMenu` is enabled, visible commands must provide an emoji used in `/start` help and Bot API descriptions, extension-command descriptions are shown in `/start`, visible extension commands are inserted after `/compact` before queue-control commands, prompt-template commands remain separated in `/start`, handler failures are isolated with runtime diagnostics, and routing precedence is built-ins → extension commands → prompt-template aliases. Impact: workflow-specific controls can live in companion extensions while `pi-telegram` remains a lightweight Telegram shell.

## 0.15.1: Typing Keepalive Cadence

- `[Typing Status]` Pinned the default native Telegram typing keepalive interval at 2500 ms while preserving the 250 ms idle-drain cap. Impact: runtime behavior matches the intended conservative chat-action cadence.

## 0.15.0: Companion Status Lines

- `[API]` Added `registerTelegramStatusLineProvider()` on the public `/status` subpath so companion extensions can append compact rows to the `/start` menu status text. Providers are synchronous, model-aware, isolated on failure, and rendered with Telegram-style capitalized labels. Impact: quota/status widgets can progressively enhance the Telegram operator menu without owning polling, transport, or core menu rendering.
- `[Docs]` Documented the status-line provider with an abstract companion-extension example and listed `pi-codex-usage` as a companion extension. Impact: the public API docs stay implementation-neutral while the README still points operators to the concrete Codex quota widget.

## 0.14.0: Direct Telegram Delivery, Queue Semantics, And Section Diagnostics

- `[Prompt Guidance]` Tightened agent context for Telegram buttons: use normal Markdown plus top-level hidden `telegram_button` comments, never JSON button specs or standalone button actions, and keep comments out of code/quotes/lists/indented examples. Impact: agents immediately know how to author visible Telegram text, inline buttons, and direct `telegram_message` payloads without transport hacks.
- `[Command Templates]` Synced `lib/command-templates.ts` with the current `pi-actors` standard, including advisory risk labels, actor recipe context metadata, bundled short-flag detection, and fuller trusted-executable mitigation text. Impact: pi-telegram command-template tooling no longer lags the actor recipe/tooling implementation.
- `[Tools]` Telegram is now a first-class local delivery target: `telegram_attach` sends files immediately to the paired/default chat when no Telegram turn is active, and new `telegram_message` supports explicit local/TUI requests to push Markdown text messages. `telegram_message` reuses the normal `telegram_button` comment planner, so direct buttons are authored exactly like ordinary Telegram replies and always attach to a real message. Direct local/TUI delivery is gated by `/telegram-connect` ownership, while active-turn reply delivery remains session-local. Impact: agents can deliver requested artifacts or notices to Telegram from terminal-originated work without bypassing singleton polling/control ownership.
- `[Status]` TUI status now renders `compacting` with the same warning color used for `active`, while keeping the `telegram` domain label accented. Native typing cleanup now gives the last in-flight `sendChatAction` a short bounded drain before final reply delivery, and the typing keepalive interval is relaxed to 3s while staying below Telegram's typical chat-action TTL. Impact: manual or automatic context compaction reads as active model work, and Telegram typing is less likely to outlive a completed agent turn.
- `[Queue]` Telegram queue and reply delivery now stay per Pi instance, independent from the singleton polling/control lock. `/abort` only enables abort-history preservation for Telegram-owned turns, and local/non-Telegram agent starts clear stale abort-history mode. Impact: moving `/telegram-connect` no longer silences an already accepted queue, and local prompts after abort no longer fold old queued turns into the next Telegram prompt.
- `[Sections]` Section label, render, and callback failures now record source-scoped diagnostics and recover only when the matching surface succeeds. Section diagnostics expose only `active`/`error`, and settings-only callbacks keep Settings-level Back navigation. Impact: one broken companion section cannot break menu rendering or hide unrelated diagnostics.

## 0.13.2: Config Recovery And Inbound Output Bounds Hotfix

- `[Config]` Invalid `telegram.json` now recovers on session startup by renaming the broken file to an `.invalid-*` recovery path, loading safe empty defaults, and recording a runtime diagnostic. Impact: a hand-edited or partially written config no longer bricks `/telegram-setup` or session startup.
- `[Inbound]` Inbound handler, programmatic handler, voice transcription, and built-in text attachment outputs are now bounded before entering Telegram prompt context. Impact: large OCR, PDF, STT, or text-file outputs cannot silently explode prompt size.
- `[Diagnostics]` Runtime event messages/details and inbound handler failure stdout/stderr are truncated before storage/rendering. Impact: `/telegram-status` remains useful after noisy provider or handler failures without hiding that truncation happened.

## 0.13.1: Rendering, Typing, And Continue Queue Hotfix

- `[Rendering]` Fixed Telegram HTML rendering for Markdown bold/italic spans that cross soft line breaks, so assistant replies like `**first line\nsecond line**` render as bold text instead of showing raw asterisks. Added a regression for the guest-mode-style multiline bold reply shape.
- `[Typing Status]` Hardened assistant message activity hooks so transient preview/provider transport failures are recorded but do not break the native Telegram `typing` keepalive while an active turn continues.
- `[Continue Queue]` `/continue` now enqueues as a control-lane resume prompt and explicitly clears abort-history mode, so queued Telegram prompts stay separate and the continuation runs ahead of queued prompt work after abort or compaction recovery.

## 0.13.0: Command Template Standard, Voice Hardening, And Domain Cleanup

- `[Architecture]` Extracted outbound assistant-action markup parsing into `lib/outbound-markup.ts` and removed the temporary Voice/Outbound/Queue import-cycle allowance. Impact: project source imports are fully acyclic again while preserving existing voice and outbound helper exports.
- `[Tests]` Updated the Pi SDK centralization invariant to guard the current `@earendil-works/*` package scope as well as the legacy scope. Impact: new direct SDK imports outside `lib/pi.ts` are caught again.
- `[Voice Providers]` Generated compatibility ids for STT/TTS providers now use monotonic counters with registry probing, and provider disposers now remove only their own registered instance. Impact: anonymous ids stay collision-safe across stale registry entries/module reloads, and stale disposers cannot delete replacement providers.
- `[Security]` Telegram temp directories, downloaded inbound files, and `locks.json` writes now use explicit private filesystem modes. Impact: private attachments and local polling ownership metadata are less exposed on permissive-umask or shared hosts.
- `[Docs]` Clarified that `voice.sendTranscript` is the bridge-owned transcript preference and updated provider examples to gate `transcriptText` with `getTelegramVoiceSendTranscript(config)`. Impact: companion voice providers no longer need to invent duplicate transcript/reply-policy UI.
- `[Tests]` Added a long-session runtime regression that preserves queued work across `/abort`, explicit `/next`, and in-flight model switching. Impact: the high-risk queue/dispatch path now has coverage for an operator session that chains abort recovery into model-switch continuation.
- `[Naming]` Renamed the concrete Bot API transport domain from `lib/api.ts` / `tests/api.test.ts` to `lib/telegram-api.ts` / `tests/telegram-api.test.ts`. Impact: the transport owner is clearer and no longer competes conceptually with the public `/api/*.ts` package membranes.
- `[Status]` `/telegram-status` recent runtime events now include a category summary before the detailed event list. Impact: provider, handler, and transport failure categories are easier to scan during companion-extension diagnostics.
- `[Tests]` Added a combined `telegram_voice` + `telegram_button` outbound planner smoke regression and corrected the text-group non-contiguous-tail fixture to reflect the widened split-message id gap. Impact: the rendering/markup watchlist now has direct coverage for mixed assistant action markup without changing runtime behavior.
- `[Audit]` Added fixture lifecycle coverage for STT/TTS provider re-registration across session-start/resume/reload-style boundaries, and scanned the local workspace for removed `@llblab/pi-telegram/lib/*` companion imports. Impact: the remaining hotfix lifecycle and migration audit items are now closed in this environment.
- `[Refactor]` Split assistant-authored button planning, callback storage, callback handling, and button prompt-turn construction from `lib/outbound.ts` into `lib/outbound-buttons.ts`, with symmetric `tests/outbound-buttons.test.ts` coverage. Impact: the outbound domain is smaller and button behavior now has a direct module-level test peer while existing `lib/outbound.ts` exports remain compatible.
- `[Tests]` Added symmetric `tests/outbound-markup.test.ts` coverage for `lib/outbound-markup.ts`, including top-level comment collection, fenced-code exclusion, partial-comment stripping, attribute parsing, and multi-voice planning. Impact: assistant action markup has direct module-level regression coverage instead of relying only on umbrella outbound tests.
- `[Tests]` Added symmetric `tests/menu-status.test.ts` coverage for `lib/menu-status.ts`, including status reply markup rows, voice-active thinking suppression, callback routing, and status message send/update helpers. Impact: status-menu behavior now has a direct module-level regression peer.
- `[Tests]` Added symmetric `tests/menu-thinking.test.ts` coverage for `lib/menu-thinking.ts`, including reply markup, thinking-level callbacks, invalid/voice/non-reasoning guards, and menu send/update helpers. Impact: thinking-menu behavior now has direct module-level regression coverage.
- `[Tests]` Added symmetric `tests/setup.test.ts` coverage for `lib/setup.ts`, including token defaults, prompt mode selection, setup success/failure, and prompt-runtime guard cleanup after errors. Impact: `/telegram-setup` prompt behavior now has direct module-level regression coverage.
- `[Tests]` Added symmetric `tests/menu-settings.test.ts` coverage for `lib/menu-settings.ts`, including built-in settings markup, detail menu active states, settings mutations, and stale-message fallback toggles. Impact: settings-menu behavior now has direct module-level regression coverage.
- `[Context]` Cleared the completed backlog down to `No open work` and tightened the `lib/outbound.ts` domain header after button/markup extraction. Impact: historical completion notes stay in the changelog, while backlog and domain ownership now reflect current reality.
- `[Refactor]` Split native Telegram voice delivery from `lib/outbound.ts` into `lib/outbound-voice.ts`, with symmetric `tests/outbound-voice.test.ts` coverage. Impact: outbound voice upload/provider orchestration now has a direct domain owner and `lib/outbound.ts` is reduced to the outbound surface, command handlers, text transforms, artifact composition, and compatibility re-exports.
- `[Command Templates]` Replaced `pi-telegram`'s command-template implementation with the current `pi-actors` standard as a deliberate breaking 0.x minor change. Impact: templates now use `parallel` and `when`, support string `timeout`/`delay`/`retry`, inherited default references, `{value??fallback}`, `{flag?yes:no}`, and empty-arg filtering; old local `mode`, `critical`, and `pipe` shapes were removed/migrated to `parallel`, `failure`, and `template: [...]`.
- `[Docs]` Removed real companion-extension identities from abstract voice-provider examples and README guidance, keeping concrete names only in the explicit Companion Extensions list. Impact: pi-telegram documentation now keeps bridge responsibilities separate from third-party companion-extension ownership.
- `[Docs]` Integrated public API smoke examples for Extension Sections, raw updates, inbound handlers, outbound handlers, and voice providers into `docs/public-api.md` using only stable public membranes. Impact: companion-extension authors get copyable patterns in the canonical public API guide and avoid removed `@llblab/pi-telegram/lib/*` imports.
- `[Docs]` Updated README release positioning and corrected Extension Sections docs so `ctx.edit()` owns automatic Back-row insertion, `ctx.open()` is documented as a standalone chat-message sender, and section callbacks appear before built-in menu callbacks. Impact: companion extension authors get an accurate public contract.
- `[Backlog]` Restored concrete near-term follow-up slices for public API migration, provider lifecycle, smoke examples, diagnostics, voice-domain DAG cleanup, section examples, and voice transcript config clarity. Impact: README's open-work link points to actionable development priorities again.

## 0.12.0: Public API Membranes, Telegram UX Safety, And Extension Interop

- `[Typing Status]` Auto-compaction now starts and stops the native Telegram `typing` keepalive like manual `/compact`, including timeout and shutdown cleanup. Active Telegram turns also re-arm typing on assistant message start/update events so transient provider/model errors cannot permanently leave a continuing run without Telegram activity feedback.
- `[Compaction Safety]` Telegram `/compact` now opens an inline confirmation dialog before manual compaction starts, protecting the operator from accidental taps near `/start`. The dialog follows the dedicated UI style guide: a bold text-only question with emoji only on the explicit `Yes, compact` and `No` buttons. Confirming edits the dialog directly to `Compaction started.` instead of showing a separate `Compaction confirmed.` step.
- `[Docs]` Added `docs/ui-style.md` as the focused style guide for inline buttons, toggles, tabs, option lists, cards, and dialogs.
- `[Docs]` Restructured `docs/architecture.md` into a clearer architectural map with runtime topology, domain ownership, core flows, extension surfaces, and operational behavior while pushing detailed UI/callback rules toward focused standards.
- `[Breaking API]` Renamed the public implementation domains to `lib/sections.ts`, `lib/updates.ts`, `lib/inbound.ts`, and `lib/outbound.ts`. Package exports now expose only the stable public API domains (`/sections`, `/updates`, `/inbound`, `/outbound`, `/voice`, `/keyboard`) and no longer expose the compatibility `./lib/*.ts` wildcard.
- `[Architecture]` Folded the public update-handler interop surface into `updates` and renamed the internal long-poll loop module back to `polling`, giving the pair concise one-word domains: `updates` for update contracts/classification/handler registry and `polling` for the `getUpdates` runtime. Entrypoint extraction now lives in `bindings`, a concrete pi-facing command/tool/lifecycle wiring boundary rather than a new product domain.
- `[Tests]` Added an architecture invariant and package self-import regressions that pin the `0.12.0` package exports to stable `/api` membranes with exact runtime export shapes and prevent accidental restoration of the removed `./lib/*.ts` wildcard.
- `[Docs]` Added `docs/public-api.md` as the public API map for commands, config, assistant markup, extension APIs, callback ownership, and public/internal stability boundaries.
- `[API]` Hardened Telegram Extension Sections by rejecting duplicate section ids and validating `ctx.callbackData()` against Telegram's 64-byte callback-data limit.
- `[API]` Added `registerTelegramUpdateHandler()` as the matrix-aligned low-level update bus name.
- `[API]` Documented the public low/high-level registration matrix: low-level buses (`updates`, `inbound`, `outbound`) intentionally have no ids, while high-level sections and voice providers use stable ids in new integrations.
- `[Settings UI]` Refined control conventions: boolean toggles use Capitalized horizontal `On`/`Off` with green active `On`, yellow active `Off`, and black inactive markers; state/navigation rows use Capitalized status values; horizontal tabs use capitalized labels with purple default-state and yellow elevated-state active markers; vertical option lists keep only the current value marked green; submenu navigation distinguishes `⬆️ Main menu` from deeper `⬆️ Back` rows; confirmation actions use explicit `Yes, ...` labels such as `🗜 Yes, compact`; added State & Navigation Buttons section to the style guide for buttons that show state and lead to a submenu.
- `[Config]` Time Injection Hidden mode now removes `time.injectionMode` from `telegram.json` instead of persisting `"hidden"`, matching Voice Reply Hidden semantics: missing key = default hidden state.

## 0.11.2: Queue Continuation, Compaction Safety, And Settings Polish

- `[Time Context]` Renamed the disabled time injection mode from `off` to `hidden` in Settings and config defaults, matching voice reply mode semantics where no prompt-context line is injected. Legacy `off` callbacks/config values are still treated as hidden.
- `[Settings UI]` Settings detail headings now show the current value immediately after the bold label in monospace style, making each submenu title double as the active setting summary.
- `[Entrypoint]` Removed root-level API re-exports from `index.ts`; public extension APIs remain available from their owning `lib/*` modules while the root file stays a default-only composition root.
- `[Continue Queue]` `/continue` now enqueues a standalone priority prompt without preserving already queued prompts as history. Impact: queued prompts stay iterative queue items instead of being folded into one combined `continue` prompt.
- `[Auto Compaction]` Observes native `session_before_compact` / `session_compact` events and blocks queued Telegram prompt dispatch while compaction is running, then resumes the queue after compaction settles. Impact: queued Telegram turns no longer race Pi auto-compaction and trigger `Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'signal')` after compaction.
- `[Command Templates]` Updated the command-template helper library and regressions with typed placeholders, array-index placeholder resolution, repeat fanout from array length, unbounded default timeout semantics, and trusted-command warnings.
- `[Docs]` Updated the command-template standard with typed args, array placeholders, failure propagation, recover cleanup, and trust-boundary guidance.
- `[Docs]` Decomposed oversized architecture documentation blocks into focused sections for runtime ownership, queue validation, application menu shape, outbound actions, and interactive controls. Impact: the architecture entry point is easier to scan without changing runtime behavior.
- `[README]` Split queue reaction shortcuts into priority and removal lists, added `pi-xai-voice` as a companion extension, and kept the time-injection row label compact while preserving the full detail-heading label. Impact: operator-facing docs match the current Telegram menu language.
- `[Context]` Recorded the convention that extension-local standards should stay self-contained and avoid naming sibling extension implementations as authorities. Impact: shared standards can evolve independently without creating false extension dependencies.

## 0.11.1: Time Context And Settings Polish

- `[Time Context]` Added optional `telegram.json` `time` prompt context for Telegram-originated turns. `time.injectionMode` values are `off`, `always`, and per-chat `interval`; `time.interval` is stored in milliseconds and timezone comes from the system. The `[time]` line renders last after attachments, handler outputs, and voice context, and Settings exposes a `🕒 Time` mode selector.
- `[Settings UI]` The proactive push row now uses `📌 Proactive push: on|off`, and proactive push, time, and voice reply submenus use matching emoji headings.

## 0.11.0: Voice Provider Platform

- `[Voice Synthesis Provider API]` Added a first-class voice synthesis provider surface for Telegram voice replies. Providers register with `registerTelegramVoiceSynthesisProvider()` from `@llblab/pi-telegram/lib/voice.ts`, synthesize text into `.ogg`/`.opus`, may return `{ audioPath, transcriptText }`, and can contribute voice-specific prompt guidance through `getVoicePromptContribution(view)`.
- `[Voice Prompt Context]` Replaced the redundant `[The user sent a voice message.]` prompt marker with compact voice context owned by pi-telegram: `[voice] reply mode: manual`, `[voice] reply mode: mirror`, or `[voice] reply mode: always`. The marker is placed after handler `[outputs]` when present, otherwise after `[attachments]`, and can expand to a `[voice]` list when more fields are added.
- `[Voice Reply Policy]` Missing or invalid `telegram.json` `voice.replyMode` now resolves to `manual` regardless of provider defaults. Provider UIs can still change policy by writing `voice.replyMode` to the same config file pi-telegram reads.
- `[Voice Reply Policy]` Added `voice.replyMode` with `manual`, `mirror`, and `always` modes. The bridge tags voice turns, suppresses previews for voice-tagged replies, and transparently converts implicit assistant text to voice when policy asks for it while explicit `<!-- telegram_voice -->` markup still wins.
- `[Status UI]` Removed extension-section diagnostics from the Telegram status text. Section state belongs on dynamic section button labels and submenus, while `/telegram-status` keeps runtime/transport diagnostics focused.
- `[Extension Sections]` Main-menu section rows now support a dynamic `getLabel()` function, matching Settings rows, so extensions can surface live state directly on their button labels.
- `[Prompt Guidance]` Clarified `[voice]` turn context in the Telegram system prompt: `manual` means normal agent-authored output with optional explicit `telegram_voice` markup, `mirror` means voice input prefers voice output, and `always` means replies should stay TTS-friendly for automatic conversion.
- `[Config Interop]` Added a narrow live config runtime so companion voice sections can update `telegram.json` voice policy and the active pi-telegram config store in one step.
- `[Voice Delivery]` Restored outbound `type: "voice"` command handlers as the explicit first leg of voice delivery, followed by programmatic handlers and registered voice synthesis providers as zero-config fallbacks, so operator-configured `telegram.json` TTS handlers are never overridden by provider extensions.
- `[Inbound Handler API]` Added `registerTelegramInboundHandler(kind, handler)` as the generic programmatic counterpart to configured `inboundHandlers`, completing the handler/provider matrix beside `registerTelegramOutboundHandler`, `registerTelegramVoiceTranscriptionProvider`, and `registerTelegramVoiceSynthesisProvider`.
- `[Voice Transcription Provider API]` Added `registerTelegramVoiceTranscriptionProvider()` for provider-owned STT. Explicit inbound handlers and programmatic inbound handlers still run first; registered STT providers are fallback for voice/audio files without handler output.
- `[Settings UI]` Added built-in voice reply mode controls to pi-telegram Settings and removed the need for provider extensions to own duplicate reply-policy UI; the selector persists `voice.replyMode` to `telegram.json` even from stale visible menu messages and uses the `👄 Voice reply: hidden|manual|mirror|always` row with lowercase model-style active dots.
- `[Voice Prompt Context]` Missing or invalid `voice.replyMode` is now surfaced in Settings as `hidden`: it behaves like `manual`, emits no `[voice] reply mode: manual` prompt-context block, and stores no `voice.replyMode`; explicit `manual` keeps the same behavior but renders context. `mirror` mode text-originated turns stay on the manual text path, including support for explicit `telegram_voice` markup.
- `[Voice Delivery]` Voice delivery now uses Telegram `sendVoice` plus the native `record_voice` chat action. Providers own speech rewriting, TTS, and OGG/Opus conversion; non-OGG provider output fails voice delivery and falls back to the planned text reply.
- `[Voice Fallbacks]` Voice artifact failures now throw to the queue runtime, which records diagnostics and sends the planned text fallback with outbound markup stripped and reply markup preserved when no text was already delivered.
- `[Voice Platform Cleanup]` Collapsed merged prototype-only domains: removed shared `globals`, `global-augmentations`, and broad `shutdown` cleanup modules. Voice, section, external-handler, and outbound-handler global registry keys are now owned by their respective domains, and session shutdown no longer clears every extension registry globally.
- `[Docs]` Added `docs/voice.md` and README coverage for voice modes, provider registration, STT provider fallbacks, caption-style transcripts, native voice format requirements, fallback behavior, and provider-owned settings.
- `[Tests]` Added voice policy, provider registry, preview suppression, artifact delivery, fallback, OGG/Opus validation, prompt contribution, and entrypoint/invariant regressions. Full validation passes with 575 tests.

## 0.10.8: Compact Typing Timing Hotfix

- `[Compaction]` Telegram `/compact` now starts the native `typing` chat-action keepalive after the "Compaction started" notice is sent, then stops it on completion or failure. Impact: operators see the same Telegram activity indicator during context compression that they already see during normal agent/tool work, without showing `typing` before the explicit start confirmation arrives.

## 0.10.7: Stale Context Hardening Hotfix

- `[Session Reloads]` Context-sensitive command, pairing, queue, session-start, and update-dispatch paths now ignore only stale-session/stale-context failures instead of swallowing broad runtime errors. Impact: the bridge survives ctx replacement/fork/reload races while real bugs still surface for diagnostics.
- `[Runtime Status]` Restored status update error propagation so existing polling/dispatch safety wrappers can record stale status failures as structured runtime events instead of losing diagnostics inside the status domain.
- `[Release]` Added a tag-triggered GitHub Actions release workflow that verifies the `vX.Y.Z` tag matches `package.json`, extracts the matching `CHANGELOG.md` section, and publishes a GitHub Release automatically.
- `[Tests]` Added focused regressions proving the newly guarded call sites tolerate stale context errors and still rethrow unrelated failures.

## 0.10.6: Native Typing Keepalive Hotfix

- `[Typing]` Telegram native `typing` chat actions now refresh every 2.5s instead of every 4s. Impact: the bot's Telegram-side typing animation has more headroom to stay visible during model retries, transient model/API errors, and other long-running agent work.
- `[Queue Menu]` Empty queue refresh now rotates through a wider set of small status phrases. Impact: repeatedly refreshing an empty queue feels less repetitive while preserving the same callbacks and menu layout.
- `[Tests]` Added coverage for the default native typing keepalive cadence.

## 0.10.5: Queue Continuity And Input Resilience Hotfix

- `[Compaction]` `/compact` completion and failure callbacks now request deferred queue dispatch instead of dispatching immediately. Impact: queued Telegram turns resume after compaction state and π idle/pending-message state have a chance to settle.
- `[Text Groups]` Long-text split recovery is more aggressive where Telegram chunking actually drifts: the debounce is rounded to 1s, the conservative 3600-character start threshold is preserved, and continuation messages can span a much wider message-id gap while staying scoped to the same chat/user and non-command text. Impact: very large pasted prompts are more likely to arrive as one agent turn instead of several fragmented turns.
- `[Runtime Status]` Typing-loop and prompt-dispatch status updates are now best-effort and record stale-context failures as structured runtime events. Impact: status/Running indicators remain resilient after error paths without hiding diagnostics.
- `[Tests]` Added regressions for deferred compact dispatch, stale status failures in typing/dispatch paths, and many-part split-text grouping.

## 0.10.4: Polling Status Resilience Hotfix

- `[Polling]` Status-bar updates from the polling loop are now best-effort and no longer crash the extension when a captured session context becomes stale after session reload. Failures are recorded as structured polling runtime events with `phase: "status-update"`. Impact: polling cleanup and retry status updates stay resilient without changing the Telegram API, config, or operator workflow.
- `[Tests]` Added stale-context polling regressions for startup, cleanup, and retry status updates. Impact: the external PR #43 fix is now covered by maintainer-side tests and kept aligned with local style.

## 0.10.3: Dependency Audit Hotfix

- `[Dependencies]` Refreshed the lockfile transitive dependency set to resolve current `protobufjs` / `@protobufjs/utf8` npm audit advisories inherited through development peer installs. Impact: `npm run validate` is green again without changing runtime API or bridge behavior.

## 0.10.2: Delete Message Port Hotfix

- `[ctx.deleteMessage()]` Added `deleteMessage()` to `TelegramSectionContext` and `TelegramSectionCallbackContext`. Extensions can now delete the message that triggered a callback — useful for cleaning up confirmation dialogs after the user makes a choice.
- `[API]` Added `deleteMessage` to `TelegramBridgeApiRuntime`, backed by Telegram's `deleteMessage` Bot API method with error recording.
- `[Demo]` Confirmation dialog in `pi-telegram-extension-demo` now deletes itself on answer (`ctx.deleteMessage()`) and posts a follow-up result message (`ctx.open()`).
- `[Docs]` Updated context port listings and interactive-messages section in `extension-sections.md` with `deleteMessage()`.

## 0.10.1: Navigation Abstraction Hotfix

- `[ctx.open()]` Removed automatic Back-row prepend from `ctx.open()`. `ctx.open()` sends a new message into the chat — a Back button makes no sense outside the menu. `ctx.edit()` still auto-prepends the correct navigation row for in-menu views.
- `[Platform Docs]` Extended `docs/extension-sections.md` with a dedicated section on sending interactive messages into chat via `ctx.open()`: confirmation dialogs, approve/deny gates, and extension-driven button flows that live outside the menu hierarchy.

## 0.10.0: Extension Sections Platform

- `[Extension Sections]` Implemented the Telegram Extension Sections platform: extensions can register structured UI sections that appear in the main Telegram application menu and Settings submenu without owning a second bot poller.
- `[Registry]` Added `lib/extension-sections.ts` with a section registry (`createTelegramExtensionSectionRegistry`), token-based callback routing (`section:<token>:<action>:<payload>`), main-menu row injection, settings submenu row injection, `registerTelegramSection()` globalThis bridge for ordinary pi extensions, and diagnostics.
- `[API]` Exported `registerTelegramSection(section)` / `getTelegramSectionDiagnostics()` from `@llblab/pi-telegram/lib/extension-sections.ts`. Extensions receive narrow typed context ports (`TelegramSectionContext` / `TelegramSectionCallbackContext`) with `answerCallback`, `edit`, `open`, and `enqueuePrompt`.
- `[Main Menu]` Section rows are injected before the built-in **Settings** row in the status/application menu. Sections render their own inline-keyboard views with an automatic `⬆️ Main menu` back button.
- `[Settings Submenu]` Extension settings rows appear before built-in settings controls. Each section can expose an optional `settings` block with its own `open` and `handleCallback`.
- `[Callback Routing]` `section:` is now a pi-telegram-owned callback prefix. Section callbacks are dispatched before built-in menu handling. Stale tokens receive a graceful "no longer available" answer. Unknown section callbacks fall through to the existing callback namespace fallback.
- `[Menu Integration]` Updated `menu-status.ts` to accept a `sectionRegistry` and inject section rows before Settings. Updated `menu-settings.ts` to accept a `sectionRegistry` and inject extension settings rows before built-in controls. Updated `menu.ts` to parse and dispatch `section:` callbacks through the registry.
- `[Demo]` Added `@llblab/pi-telegram-extension-demo` — a companion pi extension demonstrating section registration, a read-only Explorer UI with prompt enqueue, and a settings toggle. The demo lives in `extensions/pi-telegram-extension-demo/`.
- `[Model Labels]` Model button labels now use compact `provider/ModelId` format (e.g., `anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5`) instead of `ModelId [provider]`. Models are sorted by provider for predictable grouping. The status row and detail view already used this canonical format.
- `[Navigation]` Section `ctx.edit()` and `ctx.open()` automatically prepend the correct Back button: `⬆️ Main menu` → `menu:back` at root level, `⬆️ Back` → `section:<token>:open` from section callbacks, `⬆️ Back` → `settings:list` from settings callbacks. Back buttons are deduplicated when already present.
- `[Settings Status]` Settings rows now support a dynamic `getLabel()` function for live status indicators (e.g., `🟢`/`⚫️` based on internal state). Called on every Settings list render, no polling needed.
- `[Context]` Added `callbackData(action, payload?)` to section context types — section authors never hand-roll `section:` callback strings. Tokens are filled in automatically.
- `[CLI]` Removed `/telegram-settings` from pi CLI commands. Telegram settings remain available through the Telegram `/settings` inline menu. Keeps the pi TUI simple.
- `[Demo]` Renamed `@llblab/pi-telegram-demo` → `@llblab/pi-telegram-extension-demo` with a standalone `package.json` depending on `@llblab/pi-telegram` ^0.10.0, a comprehensive `README.md`, and a GitHub repository reference. Proves third-party devs can extend the pi-telegram interface as an ordinary npm package.
- `[Tests]` Added 26 regression tests in `tests/extension-sections.test.ts` covering registry lifecycle, main-menu and settings row ordering, callback parsing, section open/callback/settings-open dispatch, stale token handling, handler fallback, and back-button dedup.

## 0.9.9: Guest Mode HTML Rendering

- `[Guest Mode]` Guest replies now render through the same `renderTelegramMessage` pipeline as direct messages: Markdown → HTML → `answerGuestQuery` with `parse_mode: "HTML"`. Bold, italic, code, links, lists, and tables render identically in guest and DM replies.
- `[Replies]` Added `createGuestMarkdownReplySender` in the replies domain — guest rendering stays encapsulated within `replies.ts` and `index.ts` no longer imports from `rendering.ts` directly.
- `[API]` Simplified `answerGuestQuery` title to a fixed `"Response"` string (the `InlineQueryResultArticle` title is hidden in guest mode and was previously generated by stripping HTML/Markdown from the message text).
- `[API]` Removed `replyMarkup` parameter from `answerGuestQuery` — inline keyboards are not supported in guest mode because `callback_query` from inline results carries `inline_message_id` instead of `chat_id`/`message_id`, which the existing callback routing cannot handle.

## 0.9.8: Guest Mode Context

- `[Guest Mode]` Extended the [telegram] prefix with |from:user (sender) and |guest:GroupName (source chat for group guest messages) so the agent sees who sent the message and where from. Private guest chats omit the guest: suffix.
- `[Guest Mode]` Added |from:user to the [reply] block so the agent knows the original author of a replied-to message in guest mode.
- `[Guest Mode]` Formatted guest prompt text identically to regular DMs through buildTelegramTurnPrompt, including [attachments] and [outputs] sections with file downloads and inbound handler processing.
- `[Prompts]` Added compact agent guidance explaining guest-mode prefix suffixes (|from:, |guest:) and reply-from context.

## 0.9.7: Bot API 10.0 Alignment

- `[Dependencies]` Migrated peer dependencies and imports from `@mariozechner/*` to `@earendil-works/*` (`pi-agent-core`, `pi-ai`, `pi-coding-agent`). Impact: the extension now tracks the new `@earendil-works` package scope; transitive `@mariozechner` packages remain in the lockfile until their upstreams migrate.
- `[Package]` Added `engines: { "node": ">=22.0.0" }` to document the supported Node expectation while keeping dev dependencies on `latest` for early-stage iteration. Impact: users know the minimum Node version without constraining the development dependency matrix prematurely.
- `[Polling]` Added `"guest_message"` to `TELEGRAM_ALLOWED_UPDATES` so the bot receives guest-mode updates. Impact: without this, guest mentions are silently ignored by Telegram.
- `[Telegram API]` Updated `sendMessageDraft` wrapper for Bot API 10.0 semantics: removed the empty-text guard, made `text` optional, and added optional `parse_mode`, `entities`, and `message_thread_id` parameters. Impact: preview can now show a "Thinking…" placeholder with empty text, and callers can pass rich formatting through `parse_mode` or `entities`.
- `[Telegram API]` Added `answerGuestQuery` to the API runtime for Bot API 10.0 Guest Mode support. Impact: callers can reply to guest queries in chats where the bot is not a member. Uses `InlineQueryResultArticle` as the result payload per Bot API 10.0 contract.
- `[Updates]` Extended inbound update routing to recognize `guest_message` updates. Added `getAuthorizedTelegramGuestMessage`, guest flow action, execution plan, runtime handler, and prompt enqueue support. Unauthorized guest queries receive an "Access denied." reply via `answerGuestQuery`. Guest turns customize the agent-end delivery to use `answerGuestQuery` instead of normal reply transport. Impact: the bridge can now receive and route guest-mode mentions in group chats while preserving the existing private-message authorization model.
- `[Runtime]` Added typing-loop skip for guest turns (`chatId === 0`) to avoid spurious `sendChatAction` errors in the status bar.
- `[Tests]` Added regression tests for empty-text draft delivery, undefined-text draft delivery, rich preview with `parse_mode` and `entities`, guest query answers, guest extraction, guest flow classification, guest execution plan, guest deny reply, and guest message routing through the runtime.
- `[Preview]` Updated `sendDraft` interface in `lib/preview.ts` to accept optional text and formatting options, keeping the preview pipeline aligned with the new API wrapper.

## 0.9.6: Runtime Adapter Positioning

- `[Package]` Repositioned the package description from "Better Telegram DM bridge extension for π" to "Telegram runtime adapter for π". Impact: package metadata now reflects the runtime adapter/operator-console role rather than a narrow pipe metaphor.
- `[Telegram API]` Introduced `TELEGRAM_API_BASE` for the Bot API endpoint and documented native HTTP/HTTPS proxy operation through `HTTP_PROXY`, `HTTPS_PROXY`, `NO_PROXY`, and explicit `NODE_USE_ENV_PROXY=1` / `--use-env-proxy` enablement. Impact: users behind corporate proxies, local HTTP tunnels, or restricted networks get a zero-runtime-dependency proxy path without replacing native `fetch`; SOCKS5 remains outside the zero-dependency core.
- `[Dependencies]` Refreshed the lockfile transitive dependency set so `npm audit` clears current `fast-uri` and `fast-xml-builder` advisories inherited through development peer installs. Impact: the full `npm run validate` pipeline passes without changing runtime dependencies.
- `[README]` Restructured the user entrypoint around install → connect → use → core features → docs, then consolidated examples, terminology, proxy setup, `PI_CODING_AGENT_DIR`, and other environment-only configuration around the runtime-adapter/operator-console model. Impact: first-time users get a clearer path from installation to operation, while vivid examples and non-UI runtime knobs stay discoverable.
- `[Context]` Promoted the runtime-adapter/operator-console README rhythm, `/start` menu emphasis, and environment-only configuration rule into `AGENTS.md`. Impact: future documentation edits preserve the same positioning and env-knob coverage instead of drifting back toward a narrow bridge metaphor.

## 0.9.5: Telegram Delivery Resilience Hotfix

- `[Preview Delivery]` Preview flush failures from Telegram transport errors such as `fetch failed` / `ECONNRESET` are now caught and recorded as runtime diagnostics instead of escaping from the preview pipeline. Impact: transient Telegram connectivity failures no longer crash the extension during streamed preview edits.
- `[Final Delivery]` Final Markdown preview replacement now catches Telegram transport failures and returns a normal fallback signal; the agent-end delivery path records final-text delivery failures and continues cleanup, attachment handling, and queue dispatch. Impact: a failed `editMessageText` at `agent_end` no longer breaks the bridge lifecycle or blocks the next queued Telegram turn.
- `[Diagnostics]` Preview and final delivery failures now flow through the runtime event recorder with compact phase metadata. Impact: `/telegram-status` can show recent transport failures without dumping noisy stack traces into the extension runner.
- `[Tests]` Added preview and queue regressions for non-fatal Telegram transport failures during preview flush and final delivery.
- `[Extension Sections Draft]` Added a draft design note for pi-native Telegram extension sections, reserved the future `section:` callback prefix, linked the draft from docs, and recorded the project philosophy that `pi-telegram` should inherit π's extensibility model as a shared Telegram shell for loaded extensions. Impact: the future 0.10.0 extension platform direction is documented without exposing a stable API yet.
- `[Docs Formatting]` Normalized project Markdown so prose paragraphs stay as single logical lines and Markdown tables remain narrow instead of using artificial hard wraps. Impact: editors and viewers can handle visual wrapping naturally while fixed-width structures stay readable.
- `[Settings Copy]` Tightened the proactive-push settings text by removing redundant persistence/default wording.

## 0.9.4: Temp Dir And Command Template Hotfix

- `[Telegram Temp Dir]` Default Telegram API temp files now respect `PI_CODING_AGENT_DIR`, falling back to `~/.pi/agent` when the env var is unset. Impact: sandboxed or relocated agent dirs no longer force Telegram downloads through the default home-directory path.
- `[Command Templates]` Updated the local Command Template Standard: command-template nodes now document `mode`, `label`, `delay`, `repeat`, parallel fanout semantics, zero-based repeat placeholders, padding, and limited arithmetic expressions such as `{_(index+1)}`. Impact: inbound/outbound Telegram handler docs and helpers share the current portable automation contract without depending on another extension's documentation.
- `[Queue Menu]` Empty queue refresh clicks now rotate through compact alternate empty-state headings while preserving the default first-open `⌛ Queue is empty.` state, and the Refresh button now stays directly under Back for both empty and populated queue lists. Impact: manual queue polling feels alive and the primary refresh control stays in a stable location without changing queue semantics.

## 0.9.3: External Handlers Rename

- `[External Handlers]` Renamed the external update handlers domain to `external-handlers` across source, tests, and docs. Impact: the interop domain now has a cleaner name aligned with inbound/outbound handler naming.
- `[Breaking]` Removed the old `external-update-handlers` module/doc path and old exported update/interceptor aliases. Impact: layered extensions should import from `@llblab/pi-telegram/lib/external-handlers.ts` and use the `TelegramExternalHandler*` names.

## 0.9.2: External Update Interceptors

- `[External Update Interceptors]` Added a versioned `globalThis` registry that lets layered pi extensions observe and optionally consume Telegram updates before pi-telegram's default routing. Impact: approval gates and other same-process extensions can react synchronously to Telegram callbacks without owning a second bot poller.
- `[External Update Interceptors]` Validated the full v1 registry shape (`version`, `add`, and `dispatch`) before reusing a pre-existing global registry and documented the zero-coupling bootstrap contract. Impact: install-order interop stays safe even when another extension initializes the registry first.
- `[Queue Menu]` Non-empty queue lists now keep the `🌀 Refresh` row below queued items, matching the empty-queue surface. Impact: users can manually refresh the queue screen while waiting for changes without navigating away.
- `[Security]` Refreshed the lockfile to resolve the transitive `basic-ftp` audit advisory. Impact: release validation returns to a clean npm audit state.

## 0.9.1: Model Detail Hotfix

- `[Model Menu]` Detail-mode activation now preserves scoped `thinkingLevel` by resolving the selected scoped entry before falling back to the unscoped model list. Impact: scoped model shortcuts opened through the detail submenu keep their reasoning/thinking level.
- `[Model Menu]` Activating an already active model from the detail submenu now still runs the refresh path that applies scoped thinking changes while returning to the model list. Impact: tapping Active can still correct the thinking level instead of becoming a no-op.
- `[Proactive Push]` Removed the unused proactive reply-target store and always sends proactive local-result pushes without `reply_to_message_id`. Impact: the runtime no longer carries dead state for a target-capture behavior that does not exist yet.
- `[Queue Reactions]` Added `🔥` as a priority reaction and `🗑` as a queue-removal reaction. Impact: the intuitive fire/removal gestures now work alongside the existing reaction controls.
- `[Docs]` Updated the status-bar example to match the compact active/queued display.

## 0.9.0: Hidden Settings And Proactive Push

- `[Settings Menu]` Added hidden Telegram `/settings` with a proactive push checkbox detail submenu plus `/telegram-settings` in the terminal. Impact: operators can see green/black binary flag state, use green/black/yellow on/off checkbox controls from Telegram, and toggle the same proactive push flag locally without adding a visible bot-command entry.
- `[Proactive Push]` `telegram.json` now supports `proactivePush`; when enabled, successful local non-Telegram π final replies are sent to the paired Telegram chat if no Telegram turn is active and the current session still owns the Telegram lock. Local prompt text stays private because the bot does not own or mirror terminal user messages. Impact: long local tasks can notify the phone with result context without leaking from stale bridge owners or failed/aborted turns.
- `[Queue UI]` Empty queue states now use the bottom-filled `⌛` hourglass while non-empty queue states keep `⏳`. Queue item details now show the selected queue position above the raw prompt preview, preserve reaction-specific priority emoji in the heading, and use side-by-side Priority/Normal tabs that refresh the heading marker immediately. The terminal status bar now stays yellow active while Telegram-owned work still has running tools even if a queued prompt is removed by reaction. Impact: queue emptiness has a small visual easter egg, item submenus stay oriented without changing queue semantics, and queue-removal reactions no longer visually degrade active work to connected.
- `[Model Menu]` Model rows now open a detail submenu with Back, ☑️ Activate/🟢 Active selection, and yellow/black-marked Scoped/All membership tabs. Impact: model selection remains one tap away while scoped model membership can be managed from Telegram.
- `[Status Menu]` The main Telegram menu status row now shows `compacting` while a Telegram `/compact` run is active. Impact: the phone UI reflects the same compaction state that already blocks dispatch and appears in terminal status.
- `[Prompt Guidance]` Telegram prompt injection now asks agents to target 37 visible cells for tables, dense list items, and compact text blocks. Impact: replies better fit narrow mobile Telegram screens, especially when emoji or wide glyphs are present.

## 0.8.2: Lock-Safe Delivery

- `[Lock Safety]` Active Telegram turns now re-check singleton ownership before preview flushes and final agent-end delivery. Impact: an old π instance stays silent after another instance takes the Telegram bridge lock, even if the old instance finishes a long-running prompt later.
- `[Inbound Handlers]` The first step of an inbound composition now receives the full configured handler timeout before elapsed-time accounting starts on later steps. Impact: composition timeout behavior is deterministic and avoids one-millisecond test/runtime drift at pipeline start.
- `[Menu UI]` Model and Thinking submenu headers now include their matching command icons (`🤖` and `🧠`). Impact: submenu headings match the Queue menu's icon-led style.

## 0.8.1: Outbound Voice Translation Hotfix

- `[Outbound Voice]` Composed voice handlers now pass the original `telegram_voice` text to the first pipeline step through stdin, then continue piping each step's stdout into the next step. Impact: translate-from-stdin voice pipelines can translate hidden voice text before TTS instead of failing with an empty first-step input.
- `[Queue Menu]` Queue item detail previews now render prompt text inside a bounded raw `<pre>` block, and generic queue navigation/headings use the `⏳` waiting icon. Impact: absolute file paths and attachment references remain readable without Telegram interpreting slash-prefixed paths as commands, long previews are truncated below Telegram's message limit, and the queue surface has a clearer generic icon distinct from ordered-list or priority markers.
- `[Queue Delete]` Queue item removal now uses explicit `🗑 Delete` wording and opens a two-button confirmation (`🗑 Yes, delete` / `❌ No`) before mutating the queue. Impact: accidental queue-item deletion is harder while the item detail flow remains compact.
- `[Queue Priority]` Priority reactions now preserve the exact normalized promotion emoji and render it in both queue-menu rows and the π status-bar queued preview. Reaction metadata is grouped into semantic id ranges (`10..13` for priority, `20..23` for removal). Impact: `👍`, `⚡`, `❤️`, and `🕊️` keep the same priority semantics while making the user's chosen reaction visible across Telegram and TUI surfaces.
- `[Configuration Docs]` Documented the configuration philosophy that rich visual/TUI setup stays minimal for now while agents can read README/docs and update `telegram.json` for advanced workflows. Impact: configuration guidance matches the extension's agent-assisted operator model without adding premature TUI surfaces.
- `[Outbound Docs]` Tightened voice-handler critical-step wording around transform → TTS → conversion pipelines and handler-level fallbacks. Impact: docs now match translated voice pipelines without implying provider-specific TTS fallbacks.
- `[Command Template Docs]` Updated `docs/command-templates.md` to the current portable standard. Impact: the documented standard now includes retry, fail-open composition, critical-step abort semantics, and the 30s default timeout without requiring cross-extension references.
- `[Lock Docs]` Synchronized `docs/locks.md` bit-for-bit with the extension-neutral Locks Standard shared by `pi-wakeup`. Impact: singleton ownership documentation no longer carries project-specific examples that prevent exact reuse across extensions.

## 0.8.0: Handler Bus

- `[Inbound Handlers]` Added `inboundHandlers` as the provider-neutral Telegram → π transformation bus. Raw Telegram text can match `type: "text"`, `mime: "text/plain"`, or `mime: "text/*"`, receives text on stdin and `{text}`, and non-empty stdout replaces the prompt text before queueing; media/file handlers keep the existing `{file}`/`{mime}`/`{type}` behavior with optional independent selectors. Impact: translation, normalization, STT, OCR, and file extraction can share one command-template integration model.
- `[Text Attachments]` Attached `text/plain`/`text/*` files now have a built-in fail-open reader that injects UTF-8 content into `[outputs]` when no configured handler produced output. Impact: ordinary `.txt` and other text documents become readable to π without custom extraction config.
- `[Inbound Domain]` Renamed the implementation module and mirrored regression suite from `attachment-handlers` to `inbound-handlers`. Impact: file names now match the unified text/media preprocessing domain while legacy `attachmentHandlers` config remains supported.
- `[Outbound Attachment Domain]` Renamed the outbound file-delivery module and mirrored regression suite from `attachments` to `outbound-attachments`. Impact: `telegram_attach` ownership now reads as an outbound domain beside `outbound-handlers` while behavior stays unchanged.
- `[Inbound Docs]` Consolidated the deprecated `docs/attachment-handlers.md` page into `docs/inbound-handlers.md` and removed the old page. Impact: the inbound bus docs are now the canonical home for legacy `attachmentHandlers`, placeholders, ordered fallbacks, and prompt-output behavior without split documentation.
- `[Attachment Handlers]` `attachmentHandlers` is now deprecated but remains supported as a compatibility alias appended after `inboundHandlers`. Impact: existing voice/file preprocessing configs keep working while new configs can move to the unified inbound bus.
- `[Outbound Handlers]` Added `outboundHandlers` support for `type: "text"`; final text/Markdown replies can be transformed before Telegram rendering and delivery. Impact: translation-back or other outbound text normalization can be configured without hard-coded providers.
- `[Outbound Text Preview]` Finalized rich preview messages now pass through outbound `type: "text"` handlers before Telegram edit/delivery, with expanded README/docs examples for machine translation, final text rewrites, composed translated voice-over, and inline-button compatibility. Impact: outbound text transforms apply even when the final answer reuses an existing preview instead of falling back to a separate send path, while inline buttons remain attached and visible labels are transformed without changing callback prompts.

## 0.7.2: Split Text Coalescing Hotfix

- `[Text Coalescing]` Telegram text messages that look like automatic splits of one near-limit human message are now short-debounced and forwarded to π as one prompt, using a conservative 3600-character near-limit threshold. Commands, bot messages, media groups, captions, non-contiguous messages, and normal short follow-ups bypass coalescing. Impact: long pasted logs/prompts are less likely to arrive as separate π turns when Telegram chunks them.
- `[Runtime Tests]` The media-group runtime regression now waits for the real debounce instead of mixing fake timers with the polling loop, and the reaction-priority runtime test flushes pending microtasks before ending the active turn. Impact: CI should stop failing on timing-only races around delayed dispatch and queued reaction mutations.
- `[Callback Namespaces]` Current status-screen navigation callbacks now use the canonical `menu:` namespace (`menu:model`, `menu:thinking`, `menu:queue`). `status:` remains reserved as an owned legacy prefix but is no longer emitted by current UI. Impact: new inline menu callbacks align with the unified app-menu model while old `status:` payloads still cannot leak to external fallback handlers.

## 0.7.1: Layered Callback Interop

- `[Callback Interop]` Unknown Telegram inline-button callback data that does not belong to pi-telegram-owned prefixes (`tgbtn:`, `menu:`, `model:`, `thinking:`, `status:`, `queue:`) is now forwarded to π as `[callback] <data>` after assistant-button, queue-menu, and app-menu handlers decline it. `docs/callback-namespaces.md` defines the shared callback namespace standard for layered extensions. Impact: layered π extensions can namespace and handle their own Telegram inline buttons without polling the same bot or forking pi-telegram.
- `[Prompt Templates]` Prompt-template aliases stay visible only inside `/start` and are no longer registered in the Telegram bot command menu. Impact: reusable π workflows remain discoverable without making Telegram's global command menu noisy.

## 0.7.0: Unified App Menu & Command Template Hardening

- `[Commands]` Visible Telegram bot command menu now exposes `/start`, `/compact`, `/next`, `/continue`, `/abort`, and `/stop`; `/help`, `/status`, `/model`, `/thinking`, and `/queue` remain hidden compatibility shortcuts. `/start`, `/help`, and `/status` open one unified app menu containing command help, status rows, and inline controls. Command emoji are centralized as fixed adornments in the commands domain and reused by matching menu buttons (`🤖` model, `🧠` thinking); `/next` uses `⏩` and `/continue` uses `▶️`. `/continue` enqueues a priority Telegram-owned `continue` prompt instead of forcing the next queued item or requiring π to be idle. Impact: the visible command surface is cleaner while existing operator muscle memory still works and skills can react to queued `continue` prompts.
- `[Application Menu]` `/start` opens command help plus status rows and the inline application menu; `/queue` opens the queue section directly, the status menu Queue button shows the current queued-item count, all submenus keep Back/Main menu navigation in the top row, and queued items are listed in dispatch order with numeric labels plus `⚡`/`📎` markers. Queue menu message text uses the same HTML heading style as the other inline menus; empty queue menus render bold message text with only the Main menu navigation button instead of a disabled empty-state button. Item submenus support Back, Priority/Normal tabs, and Cancel, and stale item clicks refresh the live list. Impact: queued Telegram work is inspectable and mutable from the menu control surface without relying only on reactions.
- `[Prompt Templates]` `/start` now shows a separate block for π prompt-template commands, and the Telegram bot command menu registers Telegram-safe prompt-template aliases such as `fix-tests` → `/fix_tests` when they do not conflict with built-in bridge commands or hidden shortcuts. Sending `/template_name args` from Telegram expands the matching π prompt-template file before queueing the turn. Impact: reusable π workflows are available from Telegram without duplicating prompt text manually.
- `[Keyboard]` Shared Telegram inline-keyboard reply-markup structure was extracted to `keyboard`, while `menu` owns application-control button semantics and `outbound-handlers` owns assistant-authored button semantics. Impact: inline UI domains share one Bot API shape without centralizing feature behavior.
- `[Domain DAG]` Source-module opening comments now include `Zones:` tags for cross-cutting responsibility areas such as Telegram transport, π agent lifecycle, TUI, and shared utilities. Impact: flat files keep folder-like orientation without adding directory nesting.
- `[Menu Refactor]` Queue-menu UI moved from `menu.ts` into the flat `menu-queue` domain while core queue mechanics remain in `queue`; model-menu state, scoped model pages, callback planning, and model-menu rendering moved into the flat `menu-model` domain while core model semantics remain in `model`; thinking-menu text, markup, callbacks, and rendering moved into the flat `menu-thinking` domain; status-menu payloads, callbacks, and rendering moved into the flat `menu-status` domain. Impact: `menu.ts` is smaller and queue/model/thinking/status control surfaces have dedicated UI boundaries without adding folders or changing Telegram behavior.
- `[Menu]` Busy-state messages now mention `/abort`, `/next`, and `/stop`; submenu main navigation uses top-row `⬆️ Main menu`; thinking-menu text is a compact bold heading because the selected level is already marked in the buttons; model-menu scope and pagination controls now sit at the top under Main menu, and the pagination indicator opens a compact `<b>Choose a page:</b>` picker with numbered page buttons.
- `[Queue Reactions]` Priority reactions now accept `👍`, `⚡️`, `❤️`, and `🕊`; removal reactions now accept `👎`, `👻`, `💔`, and `💩`. Impact: users can use more default Telegram reactions for queue control while keeping the same priority/removal semantics.
- `[Config]` `telegram.json` persistence now writes through a private temp file and atomic rename before restoring `0600` permissions. Impact: concurrent setup/status reload paths and interrupted writes no longer expose readers to a truncated JSON file.
- `[Status]` Main-menu status output now renders `Status: idle|active|pending|unknown` as a normal status row instead of a standalone heading; TUI status-bar `active` uses the `warning` color token.
- `[Reply Dedup]` Only the first agent message in a turn replies to the triggering prompt; subsequent messages skip `reply_to_message_id`. Impact: stacked reply headers no longer waste vertical viewport space—the first message anchors the thread and the rest deliver as independent messages. Implemented at the transport level in `buildTelegramReplyParameters` so preview delivery, voice upload, and all text paths are caught uniformly. Reset on `agent_start` via `lifecycle.ts`.
- `[Command Template]` Default timeout of 30s (`DEFAULT_COMMAND_TIMEOUT_MS`) is now exported and enforced; handler invocations may omit explicit `timeout` where the default is sufficient.
- `[Command Template]` `critical` field standardised: when `true`, leaf failure aborts the entire root composition. `attachment-handlers.ts` and `outbound-handlers.ts` composition loops implement fail-open default (continue on non-critical failure) with critical re-throw gating. Impact: the TTS pipeline (edge-tts → ffmpeg) can mark ffmpeg as critical and abort cleanly.
- `[Docs]` Handler documentation and README examples now rely on default command timeouts and keep config examples minimal; critical-step guidance remains where needed.
- `[Typing Safety]` Typing-loop send failures now update the live status through the prompt-dispatch context and still record diagnostics. Impact: transient typing failures are visible without relying only on `/telegram-status`.
- `[Type Safety]` Preview reply markup now flows through generic preview controller/runtime and agent-end finalization contracts instead of `any`. Impact: assistant-authored buttons keep their concrete inline-keyboard type through preview finalization without narrowing future preview transports.
- `[Tests]` 416 passing (was 402 before prompt-template command coverage): reply dedup, critical composition gating, queue controls, queued `/continue`, unified app menu/status rows, menu-domain splits, queue-menu navigation order, preview reply-markup typing, prompt-template command expansion, and transport-level reply-parameter dedup are all covered.

## 0.6.3: Outbound Action Syntax & Prompt Guidance

- `[Outbound Buttons]` `telegram_button: Label` now creates a label-only button whose callback prompt equals the label. Impact: button shorthand now matches the `telegram_voice: Text` inline style and leaves one canonical label-only syntax.
- `[Outbound Actions]` `telegram_voice text="..."` and `telegram_button label=... prompt="..."` now provide explicit one-line action forms. Impact: agents can keep short voice and button actions on one line without relying on body blocks.
- `[Outbound Parsing]` Hidden action bodies now stay attached to their action heads within the parser recovery window. Impact: hidden prompt and TTS bodies stay out of Telegram-visible messages.
- `[Prompt Guidance]` Telegram prompt injection is now organized by inbound context, visible output, and native outbound actions, with explicit one-line vs body `telegram_button` syntax. Impact: agents get the same operational rules with less duplicated guidance and more consistent action markup.
- `[Architecture]` Entrypoint wiring now names inbound routing, queue session lifecycle, agent lifecycle hooks, outbound reply collaborators, and repeated pi context ports before registration. Impact: `index.ts` remains the composition root while the final hook/polling registration blocks are easier to scan.
- `[Config]` Missing `telegram.json` is now handled with an explicit existence check before reading. Impact: first-run config loading keeps the empty-config fallback without using read failures as control flow.

## 0.6.2: Reload-Stale Queue Dispatch Hotfix

- `[Queue Dispatch]` Deferred post-agent-end queue dispatch is now session-bound and canceled on session shutdown. Impact: `/reload` and session replacement can no longer leave old queue timers calling stale `ExtensionContext` methods such as `ctx.isIdle()`.
- `[Typing Safety]` Typing-loop transport failures now go only to runtime diagnostics instead of updating status through an interval-captured context. Impact: typing errors remain visible in diagnostics without retaining live `ExtensionContext` in timer error paths.
- `[Lock Watcher Safety]` Ownership-loss watchers now retain only the snapshotted lock identity and stop polling without a captured live context. Impact: singleton takeover cleanup no longer needs stale-prone status refreshes from watcher callbacks.
- `[Media Group Safety]` Media-group debounce timers now flush through controller state instead of closure-capturing the inbound context. Impact: album coalescing keeps the same behavior while reducing stale-context retention in timer callbacks.

## 0.6.1: Outbound Action & Command Timeout Hardening

- `[Command Template Runtime]` Timed-out command templates now escalate from `SIGTERM` to `SIGKILL` when the child process does not exit. Impact: attachment and outbound-handler pipelines no longer hang forever on commands that ignore graceful termination.
- `[Outbound Buttons]` `telegram_button` blocks may now omit the body when the callback prompt should equal the label. Impact: concise buttons such as `<!-- telegram_button label="OK" -->` work without duplicating the prompt text.
- `[Outbound Comment Parsing]` Top-level outbound comments are now recognized again after fenced code blocks closed by Markdown-valid indented or longer fences. Impact: code examples stay literal while later `telegram_voice` and `telegram_button` blocks still execute correctly.
- `[Command Template Docs]` The command-template contract now explicitly documents the strict 0.6.x shape: use `timeout`, and keep `args` as a string array of placeholder declarations. Impact: legacy `timeoutMs` and string-form `args` are not presented as supported compatibility paths.

## 0.6.0: Command Templates & Assistant-Authored Outbound Actions

- `[Outbound Actions]` Assistant replies now use hidden `telegram_voice` and `telegram_button` blocks as Telegram-native action markup. Impact: text stays in the normal Markdown answer, voice block bodies become native OGG/Opus `sendVoice` messages, and button bodies become normal queued Telegram prompt turns without agent-side transport tool calls.
- `[Outbound Semantics]` Outbound behavior is now owned by the unified `outbound-handlers` domain. Impact: voice artifacts, per-block language/rate attributes, independent multi-voice delivery, singular one-block-one-button callbacks, top-level-only comment stripping, artifact upload, and prompt reply metadata are planned and delivered as one post-`agent_end` response surface while code examples stay literal.
- `[Command Template Standard]` Command-backed handlers now share a compact shell-free template contract: no `command` field, `template` as string or `template: [...]`, `args` as declarations only, defaults via `defaults` or `{name=default}`, top-level `timeout` wrapping composed sequences, stdout-to-stdin composition piping, and `output` defaulting to `"stdout"` while allowing artifact selectors such as `"ogg"`. Impact: inbound attachment preprocessing and outbound artifact generation use the same portable automation model without provider-specific fields or shell evaluation.
- `[Handler Boundaries]` Inbound preprocessing now lives in `attachment-handlers`, outbound generated actions live in `outbound-handlers`, and reusable template mechanics live in `command-templates`. Impact: file names, mirrored tests, and docs match the actual domains instead of broad `handlers`, standalone voice, or grouped button mini-DSL boundaries.
- `[Docs]` Handler examples now use portable `/path/to/stt`, `/path/to/tts`, and `/path/to/tool` placeholders and dense command-template documentation. Impact: release docs describe what operators configure without leaking host-local skill paths or repeating the same template rules across documents.

## 0.5.2: Telegram Reply Context

- `[Telegram Replies]` Normal Telegram prompts now include quoted Telegram `reply_to_message` text/caption as a bounded `[reply]` context block. Impact: replying to an earlier Telegram message gives the agent the quoted context instead of only the new message text. Inspired by external PR #4 from @maphim.
- `[Command Safety]` Slash-command parsing still uses only the new message text/caption, and reply context is injected only while building or editing queued prompt turns. Impact: replying with `/status`, `/model`, `/stop`, and other commands still executes the command instead of becoming a normal prompt.
- `[Docs & Tests]` Updated README, architecture/context notes, package metadata, and media/turn regressions for reply-context forwarding, truncation, queued edits, and command-safe raw text extraction. Impact: the feature is documented and covered without weakening the existing queue/command split.

## 0.5.1: Stop Queue Reset Hotfix

- `[Queue Safety]` Telegram `/stop` now clears all waiting Telegram queue items, resets pending model-switch/abort-history preservation state, and then aborts the active run when possible. Impact: queued priority/default/control turns can no longer leave the bridge stopped after an abort; the next Telegram message starts from a clean queue like a fresh TUI prompt.
- `[Docs & Tests]` Updated README, architecture notes, agent context, and queue/runtime/command regressions for the new stop/reset contract. Impact: the hotfix behavior is documented and covered by the high-risk stop plus queue path.

## 0.5.0: Command Templates, Domain Boundaries & Queue UX

- `[Queue UX]` Telegram `/status` and `/model` now execute immediately, post-agent-end queue dispatch retries after pi settles idle state, and the status bar shows specific busy labels (`active`, `dispatching`, `queued`, `tool running`, `model`). Reaction priority remains local and applies to text, voice, file, image, and media-group turns without introducing pi steering semantics. Impact: controls do not get stuck behind generation, queued work no longer needs a later Telegram update to unstick, and attachment turns keep predictable ordering.
- `[Attachment Handlers]` Inbound preprocessing now uses portable `template` configs with `args`/`defaults` and ordered fallback chains, documented in `docs/command-templates.md` and current inbound handler docs. Impact: voice/STT primary-fallback setups work from `telegram.json` without coupling pi-telegram to private auto-tool registry internals.
- `[Domain Boundaries]` Removed the broad `registration` domain and moved registration surfaces to owners: attachments register `telegram_attach`, commands register pi `/telegram-*` commands, lifecycle registers hooks, and prompts own Telegram-specific system prompt injection. Impact: entrypoint wiring is clearer and each registration surface has focused tests.
- `[telegram_attach]` The outbound attachment tool now lives in the attachments domain with outbound limits, queueing failure events, and pi-friendly tool-result formatting. Impact: outbound file delivery behavior is owned by the same domain that queues and sends Telegram attachments.
- `[Docs & Validation]` Updated README, docs, architecture/context maps, backlog, focused coverage, and removed vendored repository-local agent skills in favor of global validation tooling. Impact: user-facing docs, validation, and package-adjacent repo contents match the 0.5.0 code shape without stale skill copies.

## 0.4.0: Singleton Locks & Attachment Handlers

- `[Locks]` Added the shared `locks.json` singleton ownership standard and documented it in `docs/locks.md`. Telegram polling ownership now lives under `@llblab/pi-telegram` in `~/.pi/agent/locks.json`, while `telegram.json` remains pure bot/user configuration. `/telegram-connect` acquires the lock, replaces stale locks, or moves live external owners here through an interactive confirmation; `/telegram-disconnect` releases it. Session initialization reads ownership state, active owners stop local polling when `locks.json` no longer points at their own `pid`/`cwd`, session replacement via `/new` suspends polling/watchers without touching explicit ownership before resuming in the new session, and a reopened pi process resumes a stale same-`cwd` lock automatically. Impact: runtime locks can be reset or moved without deleting Telegram configuration, finding the previous pi instance, or crashing on stale extension contexts.
- `[Attachment Handlers]` Added `telegram.json` inbound attachment handlers with MIME/type matching, safe command placeholder substitution, compact `[attachments] <directory>` plus `[outputs]` prompt sections, and quiet omission of empty or failed handler output. Impact: common flows such as Telegram voice transcription can happen before the agent sees the turn while keeping source attachment paths visible.
- `[Refactor]` Extracted inbound route composition from `index.ts` into `/lib/routing.ts`, keeping paired update execution, callback menus, command-or-prompt dispatch, media grouping, prompt enqueueing, queued edits, and attachment-handler turn building behind one cohesive route wiring boundary. Impact: the entrypoint stays smaller while high-risk Telegram update flow remains covered by runtime and invariant tests.

## 0.3.0: Modular Runtime, Queue Controls, Diagnostics

### Runtime Architecture

- `[Flat Domain DAG]` The extension now uses `index.ts` as the single composition root over flat, acyclic `/lib` domains. API transport, persisted config/pairing, model control, queue/lifecycle, runtime state, commands, menu UI, polling, previews, replies, rendering, media, turns, attachments, updates, setup, status, pi SDK adapters, and registration each have explicit ownership. Impact: bridge behavior is easier to locate without introducing a second entrypoint or shared bucket modules.
- `[Composition Root]` `index.ts` now focuses on live pi/Telegram ports, session-local state, and cross-domain wiring. Stable defaults and local adapters for rendering, preview limits, preview reply metadata, attachment limits, Telegram prompt prefixes, prompt suffixes, command control items, bot command registration, API runtime construction, polling controllers, prompt dispatch, reply delivery, setup prompts, queue/session lifecycle, agent hooks, and tool hooks live in their owning domains. Impact: the entrypoint is smaller and reads as orchestration instead of carrying domain behavior.
- `[Type Boundaries]` Concrete Bot API transport shapes live in `api`, queued/active turn contracts live in `queue`, persisted session state lives in `config`, media download metadata lives in `media`, model selection contracts live in `model`, and domain constants stay with their owners. Narrow structural view contracts are used where a domain only needs a projection. Impact: public module interfaces are cleaner and accidental cross-domain coupling is reduced.
- `[Runtime State]` `runtime` owns only session-local coordination primitives: queue/control/priority counters, lifecycle flags, setup guards, abort handler storage, typing-loop timers, prompt-dispatch lifecycle binding, and agent-end reset sequencing. Preview state, queue planning, command behavior, rendering, and API transport stay outside `runtime`. Impact: mutable bridge state is centralized without becoming a general-purpose behavior bucket.

### Queue, Lifecycle, And Controls

- `[Queue Core]` `queue` owns prompt/control item contracts, explicit control/priority/default lane admission rules, queue stores, active-turn state, queue mutation, dispatch readiness, prompt enqueueing, control enqueueing, session start/shutdown sequencing, and agent/tool lifecycle hooks. Impact: scheduling rules, active-turn binding, abort preservation, compaction guards, and dispatch safety are enforced in one place.
- `[Command Admission]` `/stop`, `/compact`, `/help`, and `/start` execute immediately, while `/status`, `/model`, and model-switch continuation prompts enter the control lane ahead of normal prompts. Priority reactions promote waiting prompts into the priority lane without bypassing control actions. Asynchronous control-item execution is serialized so new prompts or controls cannot dispatch while a queued `/status` or `/model` action is still settling. Impact: Telegram controls stay responsive while normal messages remain predictably ordered.
- `[Model Control]` `model` owns model identity, thinking levels, scoped model pattern parsing/resolution/sorting, current-model state, in-flight model-switch state, restart eligibility, delayed abort decisions, continuation prompt construction, and model-switch controller runtime binding. Impact: model selection, scoped menus, and in-flight restart behavior have one cohesive home.
- `[Commands And Menus]` `commands` owns slash-command parsing, command metadata, command-message targets, command execution modes, control-queue adapters, bot command registration, and stop/compact/status/model/help side effects. The Telegram bot command menu no longer exposes `/debug`; diagnostics live in pi-side `/telegram-status` and the pi TUI. `menu` owns inline status/model/thinking UI state, model-menu caching, callback routing, callback planning, render payloads, and menu message updates. Impact: Telegram controls can be tested without reading the full runtime composition.

### Telegram Delivery, Rendering, And Files

- `[Rendering]` `rendering` owns Telegram HTML Markdown scanning, escaping, preview snapshots, raw HTML chunking, long-message splitting, table/list formatting, grapheme/display-width-aware table padding for emoji and wide Unicode text, nested quote flattening, link safety, task-list handling, and literal code preservation. Impact: Telegram output stays readable on narrow clients while avoiding malformed HTML and broken code blocks.
- `[Registration]` The Telegram before-agent prompt suffix now reminds the assistant to prefer narrow table columns because Telegram is often read on phone-width screens where wide monospace tables become unreadable. Impact: Telegram-originated tabular answers are more likely to fit mobile chats before renderer-level formatting is applied.
- `[Preview And Replies]` `preview` owns streaming preview lifecycle, draft/editable-message transport choices, flush scheduling, preview finalization, and assistant-message hooks, while defaulting preview reply metadata through the `replies` helper instead of threading it through `index.ts`. `replies` owns final rendered-message delivery, reply parameters, assistant-message extraction, plain/Markdown replies, interactive message delivery, and split-message reply metadata. Impact: rich previews, final replies, errors, attachment notices, and uploads are tied to the source Telegram prompt when possible and degrade safely when Telegram cannot attach the reply.
- `[Files And Attachments]` `api` owns Bot API calls, retries, runtime error recording, temp-dir cleanup, inbound file limits, lazy bot-token clients, chat actions, and file downloads. `media` owns inbound text/media extraction, file-info normalization, media-group debounce, and download assembly. `attachments` owns outbound attachment queueing, atomic multi-file staging, stat checks, outbound limits, photo/document classification, and queued attachment sending. Impact: inbound downloads and outbound uploads are size-limited by default, large files fail predictably without leaving partial attachment batches staged, and outbound artifacts flow through `telegram_attach`.
- `[Config And Setup]` `config` owns `telegram.json`, bot-token/allowed-user state, single-user authorization, and first-user pairing. `setup` owns token prompting, stored-token/env fallback selection, validation, and guarded setup orchestration. Impact: pairing and setup behavior stays consistent across `/telegram-setup`, `/telegram-connect`, `/start`, and update routing.

### Observability, Packaging, And Validation

- `[Status And Diagnostics]` `/telegram-status` now reports bridge diagnostics as grouped line-by-line pi notification sections separated by blank lines, ending with the redacted recent runtime/API event ring after connection, polling, execution, and queue state such as active turn, queue depth, queue lanes, compaction, active tool count, and pending model-switch state. Transport/API failures, polling/update failures, prompt dispatch failures, control action failures, typing failures, compaction failures, setup failures, session lifecycle failures, and attachment queue/delivery failures are recorded in the ring, while benign unchanged edit responses and empty draft-clear attempts do not pollute it. Impact: operators can diagnose bridge stalls and transport/runtime failures after the fact without exposing a Telegram-side debug command.
- `[Package Contents]` The npm package uses an explicit allowlist and keeps the tracked lockfile. Impact: published tarballs exclude tests and internal context files while preserving predictable release contents.
- `[Validation]` The project now ships typecheck, test, audit, package dry-run, and combined `validate` scripts plus GitHub Actions validation. Regression coverage spans rendering fixtures, queue/runtime/session behavior, command admission, lane contracts, invalid-lane rejection, setup, registration, replies, polling, updates, attachments, media, config, model resolution, preview timers, and extension-runtime flows. Impact: release checks catch type errors, dependency issues, package-content drift, rendering regressions, queue/lifecycle races, and architecture-boundary drift before publishing.
- `[Architecture Guards]` Invariant tests enforce an acyclic local import graph, ban `lib/constants.ts` and `lib/types.ts`, keep empty interface-extension shells collapsed into clearer type aliases, centralize direct pi SDK imports, keep `index.ts` source code free of direct Node runtime imports, local helper declarations, local arrow adapters, direct `process.env`, and direct `pi.*` receiver access, keep `runtime` and structural leaf domains isolated, guard menu/model, API/config, media/update/API, and attachment/queue/media/API boundaries, and require project TypeScript files to keep responsibility headers. Impact: the Flat Domain DAG shape and file-boundary documentation stay protected as domains continue to evolve.
- `[Refactor]` Reopened compression/decomposition/refactor/consistency passes tightened menu-domain message render/send plumbing, compressed repeated menu/media/attachment/runtime/API/model/queue test harness shapes, extracted shared runtime context, model-context, dispatch-event, Telegram config, deferred-response, API-response, rich-response, prompt-block, fetch-method, API response/client/fetch-restore, runtime fetch/model, model-test, queue-model, queue prompt/control/item-type, registration active-turn, menu-model, and pi API test fixtures, migrated runtime integration tests onto those fixtures, replaced ad hoc structural casts with owning-domain or test-local helpers where practical, and removed avoidable test casts from attachment, polling, update, model, reply, menu, pi-adapter, and registration suites. Impact: the codebase stays easier to extend without changing Telegram runtime behavior.

## 0.2.x: Fork Genesis

- `[Turns]` Preserved existing attachment-path blocks and aborted-turn history context when a still-queued Telegram message is edited. Impact: caption edits no longer make queued prompts lose their downloaded file references or prior-message context.
- `[Polling]` Persisted Telegram long-poll offsets only after each update is handled successfully. Impact: a handler failure no longer marks an unprocessed Telegram update as consumed, reducing the chance of silently dropping inbound messages.
- `[Telegram API]` Added HTTP-status-aware Bot API response parsing, malformed-success handling, retry/backoff for 429 and 5xx Bot API responses, streaming Telegram downloads with size-limit checks, file-backed multipart upload blobs, partial-download cleanup on limit failures, startup cleanup for stale Telegram temp files, and UUID-based sanitized temp filenames. Impact: Telegram transport failures now report clearer status/description details, transient Telegram throttling/server failures get retried automatically, oversized inbound files are rejected before or during download, outbound multipart sends avoid preloading files into memory, partial and stale temp files are removed, and downloaded files are less prone to timestamp collisions or unsafe local names.
- `[Rendering]` Escaped generated HTML attributes separately, sanitized code-fence language classes, and chunked raw HTML-mode output below Telegram length limits with balanced tag reopening across raw HTML chunks. Impact: generated Telegram HTML is harder to malformed through link or fence metadata and long raw-HTML replies no longer exceed Telegram's message size limit or break active tags across chunk boundaries.
- `[Preview]` Serialized overlapping preview flushes through a single in-flight flush chain. Impact: rapid streaming updates no longer allow concurrent Telegram edit calls to overwrite newer preview text with stale snapshots.
- `[Polling]` Added a bounded poisoned-update policy for repeatedly failing Telegram updates. Impact: one malformed or consistently failing update can no longer stall the long-poll loop forever; after the retry threshold, the bridge records and advances past it.
- `[Menu]` Added short-lived model-menu input caching plus TTL/LRU cleanup for stored inline menu state. Impact: repeated `/status` and `/model` interactions do less settings/model-registry work, while old Telegram inline keyboards expire predictably instead of accumulating for the whole session.
- `[Updates]` Routed Telegram `edited_message` updates separately from new messages and applied edits to matching queued turns. Impact: editing a still-queued Telegram message updates the pending prompt instead of enqueueing a duplicate turn.
- `[Refactor]` Moved shared Telegram Bot API transport shapes out of `index.ts` into `lib/types.ts`. Impact: the entrypoint is smaller and future runtime extraction can reuse one type boundary instead of keeping local duplicate interfaces.
- `[Refactor]` Moved Telegram media-group debounce and pending-group removal into the existing media domain with mirrored tests. Impact: album coalescing and reaction/delete cleanup are easier to validate without reading the full extension entrypoint, while avoiding an unnecessary extra domain file.
- `[Refactor]` Extracted Telegram slash-command parsing and command-action routing into `lib/commands.ts` with mirrored tests, and moved queued-turn text replacement for edited messages into the turn domain. Impact: command normalization/execution planning and queued edit mutations are reusable, while the entrypoint keeps less local runtime state logic.
- `[Rendering]` Hardened link rendering so absolute links stay clickable, markdown-heavy link labels reduce to plain clickable labels, tooltip titles are ignored safely, balanced-parenthesis URLs stay intact, and unsupported link forms degrade without broken anchors. Impact: Telegram replies now keep more links usable while avoiding malformed output for relative, reference-style, or footnote-like link syntax.
- `[Preview]` Evolved rich streaming from first-chunk snapshots to stable-block previews with a conservative plain tail fallback, while preserving original blank-line spacing between rendered blocks and keeping headings visually separated from following blocks. Impact: closed top-level Markdown blocks now stream as rich Telegram HTML before finalization, incomplete fences, quotes, lists, and other trailing work remain readable without producing broken rich formatting, preview/final block spacing no longer collapses extra empty lines, and headings no longer visually merge into following code blocks when source Markdown omits a blank line.
- `[Refactor]` Split preview concerns so runtime transport and finalization live in the preview domain while preview snapshot derivation lives in the rendering domain. Impact: rich streaming can evolve independently from final reply delivery while keeping preview appearance decisions closer to the Telegram renderer.
- `[Streaming]` Switched Telegram previews from plain draft-first text to rich first-chunk message editing, so formatting appears during generation instead of only after finalization. Impact: users now see richer streamed output earlier, while final replies still replace the preview with fully rendered Telegram HTML.
- `[Rendering]` Preserved leading indentation on the first Markdown line, kept numeric markers for ordered task lists in both preview and final Telegram rendering, and stopped reinterpreting standalone `[x]` or `[ ]` prose as inline checkboxes. Impact: nested content no longer flattens when a message starts with indentation, numbered checklists keep their ordered semantics, and literal checklist-like prose stays literal.
- `[Queue UI]` Marked liked high-priority queued Telegram turns with `⬆` in the pi status-bar queue preview. Impact: operators can now distinguish reaction-promoted turns from normal queued prompts at a glance.
- `[Docs]` Added short responsibility header comments to every project `.ts` file. Impact: file boundaries are easier to understand while navigating the growing `/lib` split.
- `[Naming]` Renamed extracted domain modules and mirrored regression suites to use repo-scoped bare domain filenames such as `api.ts`, `queue.ts`, and `queue.test.ts` instead of repeating `telegram-*` in every path. Impact: the internal topology is easier to scan and stays aligned with the repository-level Telegram scope.
- `[Controls]` Expanded Telegram session controls with a richer `/status` view, inline model selection, and thinking-level controls, and fixed the callback-selection path so idle model and thinking picks apply immediately instead of only becoming visible after a later Telegram interaction. Impact: more bridge configuration can be managed directly from Telegram with more predictable immediate feedback.
- `[Queue]` Upgraded Telegram turn queueing with previews, reaction-driven prioritization/removal, media-group handling, aborted-turn history preservation, and safer dispatch gating. Impact: follow-up handling is more transparent and less prone to lifecycle races.
- `[Rendering]` Added Telegram-oriented Markdown rendering and hardened reply streaming/chunking behavior, including narrower monospace Markdown table output without outer side borders, monospace list markers for unordered and ordered lists, and flattened nested quote indentation inside a single Telegram blockquote. Impact: formatted replies render more reliably while preserving literal code blocks and using width more efficiently on narrow Telegram clients.
- `[Runtime]` Hardened attachment delivery, polling/runtime behavior, Telegram session integration, preview-finalization and reply-transport routing into the replies domain, lazy Telegram API client routing into the Telegram API domain, turn-building extraction into its own domain, menu/model-resolution plus menu-state, pure menu-page derivation, pure menu render-payload builders, menu-message runtime, callback parsing, callback entry handling, callback mutation helpers, full model-callback planning and execution, and interface-polished callback effect ports into the menu domain, direct execute-from-update routing into the updates domain, model-switch restart glue extraction into the model-switch domain, and tool/command/lifecycle-hook registration extraction into a dedicated registration domain. Impact: the bridge is more robust as a daily Telegram frontend for pi.
- `[Metadata]` Updated package repository metadata to point at the `llblab/pi-telegram` fork and renamed the npm package to `@llblab/pi-telegram` with public scoped publish settings. Impact: published package links no longer send users to stale upstream coordinates and the package can be published under the fork-owned npm scope.
- `[Validation]` Added lightweight regression tests for Telegram Markdown rendering, queue/runtime/agent-loop/session/control/dispatch, replies, polling, updates, attachments, registration, turns, menu, and Telegram API/media/config helpers, including quote/list, table, link/code, mixed-link/code chunking, mixed-block chunk transitions, long multi-block, long-quote, long inline-formatting chunk boundaries, list-code-quote-prose chunk transitions, narrower monospace table rendering without outer side borders, monospace unordered and ordered list markers, flattened nested quote indentation inside one Telegram blockquote, inbound poll/pair/dispatch runtime cases, preview finalization, aborted-turn history carry-over, queued-status/model-after-agent-end sequencing, compaction gating, media-group debounce dispatch, direct menu callback planning and execution, pure menu-page derivation, pure menu render-payload builders, reaction-driven reprioritization/removal, immediate in-flight model-switch continuation, delayed abort-after-tool-completion, lazy Telegram API client routing, turn-building, and scoped-model resolution. Impact: key renderer and queue invariants now have repeatable automated coverage across the known high-risk bridge paths.
- `[Model Switching]` Enabled `/model` during an active Telegram-owned run by applying the new model and continuing on the new model automatically, delaying the abort until the current tool finishes when needed. Impact: Telegram can now approximate pi's manual stop-switch-continue workflow with fewer mid-tool aborts.
- `[Queue Core]` Introduced queued item kinds and explicit queue-lane ordering semantics so prompt turns and synthetic control actions share one ordering model, then regrouped the extracted helpers into flatter domain-oriented `/lib` modules such as queue, replies, polling, updates, attachments, turns, menu, Telegram API, and registration while keeping `index.ts` as the entrypoint. Prompt items now stay queued until `agent_start` consumes the dispatched turn, which restores correct active-turn binding for previews and final delivery. Impact: the bridge now has a clearer foundation for scheduling async extension operations alongside Telegram prompts without losing a single obvious runtime entry file.
- `[Registration]` Moved extension tool, command, and lifecycle-hook binding into the registration domain and added registration-focused regression coverage. Impact: extension wiring is easier to reason about and test without dragging full runtime state into every registration change.
- `[Control Queue]` Moved `/status` and `/model` command handling onto high-priority control queue items. Impact: control actions can wait safely behind the current run while still jumping ahead of normal queued prompts.
- `[Setup]` `/telegram-setup` now shows the stored bot token first, otherwise prefills from common Telegram bot environment variables before falling back to the placeholder, using an actual prefilled editor when a real default exists. Impact: repeat setup respects local saved state while first-run and secret-managed setup stay fast.
