+## Nodes
+
+- resolve-userid – resolve a Telegram username to its numeric user ID
+
+## Session management
+
+Connections to Telegram are cached by the configuration node. When the flow is
+redeployed, the existing session is reused instead of creating a new one.
+The client is only disconnected once no nodes reference that session anymore.
