Telegram

Set up in the wizard (step 4) or edit config.json directly:

"telegram": {
  "enabled": true,
  "botToken": "123456:ABC...",         // from @BotFather
  "allowedUsers": [42, 100],           // from @userinfobot — first = owner
  "homeChannel": -1001234567890        // optional; for cron deliveries
}

Run the bot daemon (long-polling, Ctrl+C to exit):

elanous telegram

Every incoming chat+thread maps to a per-conversation session. Messages persist to the same session store as CLI chats; you can elanous session list --source telegram to audit. Replies chunk automatically at 4000 chars; parameters.retry_after on 429 is respected.

Unknown user IDs (not in allowedUsers) get a polite refusal and nothing else. Empty allowlist = fail-open (solo-dev convenience).
