+/**
+ * Telegram channel for Claude Gateway.
+ *
+ * Self-contained MCP server with full access control: pairing, allowlists,
+ * group support with mention-triggering. State lives in
+ * TELEGRAM_STATE_DIR/access.json — managed by the /telegram:access skill.
+ *
+ * Works in two modes:
+ *  - Gateway mode: TELEGRAM_STATE_DIR and TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN injected via MCP
+ *    config env block by claude-gateway's agent-runner.
+ *  - Standalone mode: TELEGRAM_STATE_DIR defaults to ~/.claude/channels/telegram,
+ *    token falls back to ~/.claude/channels/telegram/.env (written by /telegram:configure).
+ *
+ * Telegram's Bot API has no history or search. Reply-only tools.
