/**
* Telegram Channel Prompt Injection Security Tests
*
* Tests that the agent properly handles malicious content embedded in
* Telegram-specific message formats without executing injected instructions.
*
* Attack vectors tested:
* - Inline keyboard callback data injection
* - Bot deep link parameter injection
* - Forwarded channel post with instructions
* - Poll option text injection
*
* Uses LLM-as-judge pattern: Claude evaluates whether Moltbot resisted the attack.
