Telegram General topic (id=1) has inconsistent API behavior:
- sendMessage: rejects explicit message_thread_id=1
- sendChatAction: requires message_thread_id=1 for typing to show
Split into two helper functions:
- buildTelegramThreadParams: excludes General topic for messages
- buildTypingThreadParams: includes General topic for typing
* feat(whatsapp): add debounceMs for batching rapid messages
Add a `debounceMs` configuration option to WhatsApp channel settings
that batches rapid consecutive messages from the same sender into a
single response. This prevents triggering separate agent runs for
each message when a user sends multiple short messages in quick
succession (e.g., "Hey!", "how are you?", "I was wondering...").
Changes:
- Add `debounceMs` config to WhatsAppConfig and WhatsAppAccountConfig
- Implement message buffering in `monitorWebInbox` with:
- Map-based buffer keyed by sender (DM) or chat ID (groups)
- Debounce timer that resets on each new message
- Message combination with newline separator
- Single message optimization (no modification if only one message)
- Wire `debounceMs` through account resolution and monitor tuning
- Add UI hints and schema documentation
Usage example:
{
"channels": {
"whatsapp": {
"debounceMs": 5000 // 5 second window
}
}
}
Default behavior: `debounceMs: 0` (disabled by default)
Verified: All existing tests pass (3204 tests), TypeScript compilation
succeeds with no errors.
Implemented with assistance from AI coding tools.
Closes#967

Adds support for template variables in `messages.responsePrefix` that
resolve dynamically at runtime with the actual model used (including
after fallback).
Supported variables (case-insensitive):
- {model} - short model name (e.g., "claude-opus-4-5", "gpt-4o")
- {modelFull} - full model identifier (e.g., "anthropic/claude-opus-4-5")
- {provider} - provider name (e.g., "anthropic", "openai")
- {thinkingLevel} or {think} - thinking level ("high", "low", "off")
- {identity.name} or {identityName} - agent identity name
Example: "[{model} | think:{thinkingLevel}]" → "[claude-opus-4-5 | think:high]"
Variables show the actual model used after fallback, not the intended
model. Unresolved variables remain as literal text.
Implementation:
- New module: src/auto-reply/reply/response-prefix-template.ts
- Template interpolation in normalize-reply.ts via context provider
- onModelSelected callback in agent-runner-execution.ts
- Updated all 6 provider message handlers (web, signal, discord,
telegram, slack, imessage)
- 27 unit tests covering all variables and edge cases
- Documentation in docs/gateway/configuration.md and JSDoc
Fixes#923
When a Telegram group is upgraded to a supergroup, the chat ID changes
(e.g., -123456 → -100123456). This causes the bot to lose its group
configuration since it's keyed by chat ID.
This change:
- Adds handler for `message:migrate_to_chat_id` event
- Logs the migration (old_id → new_id) for visibility
- If the old chat ID has config in channels.telegram.groups, automatically:
- Copies the config to the new chat ID
- Removes the old chat ID entry
- Saves the updated config file
This eliminates the need to manually update clawdbot.json when groups
migrate to supergroups.
Add ability to delete messages in Telegram chats via the message tool.
Changes:
- Add deleteMessageTelegram function in send.ts
- Add deleteMessage action handler in telegram-actions.ts
- Add delete action support in telegram message plugin adapter
- Add deleteMessage to TelegramActionConfig type
- Update message tool description to mention delete action
Usage:
- Via message tool: action="delete", chatId, messageId
- Can be disabled via channels.telegram.actions.deleteMessage=false
Limitations (Telegram API):
- Bot can delete its own messages in any chat
- Bot can delete others' messages only if admin with "Delete Messages"
- Messages older than 48h in groups may fail to delete
Refactors tests to use a shared config object and adds stricter assertions to verify that the config is passed correctly to createTelegramBot. Ensures the bindings property is checked in the test expectations.
The Telegram webhook and monitor now accept and pass through accountId and config parameters, enabling routing and configuration per Telegram account. Tests have been updated to verify correct bot instantiation and DM routing based on accountId bindings.
