- Default: sendAudio (file with metadata) - preserves old behavior
- Opt-in: [[audio_as_voice]] tag for voice bubble
This is non-breaking - existing integrations keep working.
- Add audioAsVoice option to ReplyPayload type
- Update bot.ts to use sendVoice by default for audio (voice bubble)
- When audioAsVoice is false, use sendAudio (file with metadata)
This allows agents to control voice vs file mode via ReplyPayload.
Use Telegram's sendVoice API for audio files by default, displaying them
as round playable voice bubbles instead of file attachments.
Changes:
- Add asVoice option to TelegramSendOpts (defaults to true)
- When asVoice is true (default): use api.sendVoice() for voice bubbles
- When asVoice is false: use api.sendAudio() for traditional audio files
This gives callers control: voice messages for TTS/quick responses,
audio files for music/podcasts with metadata display.
Previously, grammY's default bot.start() processed updates sequentially,
blocking all Telegram messages while one was being handled. This made
maxConcurrent settings ineffective for Telegram.
Now uses @grammyjs/runner which processes updates concurrently, matching
the behavior of Discord (Promise.all) and WhatsApp (fire-and-forget).
Benefits:
- Ack reactions (👀) appear immediately, not after queue clears
- Multiple chats can be processed in parallel
- maxConcurrent setting now works correctly for Telegram
- Long-running tool calls no longer block other conversations
The /activation command now properly controls group activation mode:
- Loads session state before filtering messages
- Checks groupActivation field (from /activation command)
- Falls back to config telegram.groups requireMention setting
Previously, the bot only checked config and ignored session state,
making the /activation command appear to work but have no effect.
Changes:
- Add resolveGroupActivation() to check session before config
- Import loadSessionStore to read session state early
- Pass messageThreadId to support forum topics correctly
Implement reply routing based on OriginatingChannel/OriginatingTo fields.
This ensures replies go back to the provider where the message originated
instead of using the session's lastChannel.
Changes:
- Add OriginatingChannel/OriginatingTo fields to MsgContext (templating.ts)
- Add originatingChannel/originatingTo fields to FollowupRun (queue.ts)
- Create route-reply.ts with provider-agnostic router
- Update all providers (Telegram, Slack, Discord, Signal, iMessage)
to pass originating channel info
- Update reply.ts to pass originating channel to followupRun
- Update followup-runner.ts to use route-reply for originating channels
This addresses the issue where messages from one provider (e.g., Slack)
would receive replies on a different provider (e.g., Telegram) because
the queue used the last active dispatcher instead of the originating one.
Adds a /stop command that:
- Can interrupt a running agent session mid-execution
- Works in both DMs and group chats (including forum topics)
- Uses grammy's bot.command() to run before the main message handler
- Returns status: stopped, stop requested, or nothing running
Also fixes session key lookup in pi-embedded-runner to use sessionKey
instead of sessionId, ensuring /stop finds the correct active run.
- Add TelegramLocation, TelegramVenue, and TelegramMessageWithLocation types
- Add formatLocationMessage() to convert location/venue shares to text
- Add extractLocationData() for structured location access in ctxPayload
- Handle both raw location pins and venue shares (places with names)
- Include location in reply-to context for quoted messages
Location messages now appear as:
- [Location: lat, lon ±accuracy] for raw pins
- [Venue: Name - Address (lat, lon)] for places
ctxPayload includes LocationLat, LocationLon, LocationAccuracy,
VenueName, and VenueAddress fields for programmatic access.
Block streaming replies were missing the textLimit parameter in
deliverReplies(), causing long messages to fail with 'message is too
long' error instead of being chunked properly.
The final reply path already included textLimit, but the onBlockReply
callback path did not.
