* fix(telegram): honor TELEGRAM_STATE_DIR/CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR in skills and server The server already reads TELEGRAM_STATE_DIR for multi-bot setups, but the /telegram:access and /telegram:configure skills hardcoded ~/.claude/channels/telegram/ in 11 places. So with a custom state dir the skill writes access.json to the default location while the server reads from the override — pairing and allowlist edits silently don't take effect. Skills now resolve the state dir via shell expansion (TELEGRAM_STATE_DIR → CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR/channels/telegram → ~/.claude/channels/telegram) before any read/write. Server gets the same CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR fallback. Also adds Bash(echo)/Bash(chmod) to configure skill's allowed-tools (chmod was already documented but not allowlisted). * fix(telegram): verify stale PID is a server.ts process before SIGTERM PID files race with OS PID recycling. The lockfile from #1349 stored only a PID; after enough churn that PID can be reassigned to anything — including the new launch's own bun-run wrapper. SIGTERMing the wrapper closes our stdin and triggers immediate self-shutdown ('replacing stale poller' then 'shutting down' within seconds — matches #1459 item 3). Now check 'ps -p <pid> -o args=' contains 'server.ts' before killing. execFileSync (no shell); whole block already try/catch so Windows/ps-missing falls through to just overwriting the lockfile. * fix(telegram): drop ppid watchdog check; redirect bun install stdout to stderr Two v0.0.5/0.0.6 regressions causing the plugin to fail at startup: 1. The orphan watchdog's process.ppid !== bootPpid check false-fires when the bun-run/shell wrapper exits or execs during normal startup and we get reparented to init — plugin self-terminates ~5s after launch. Stdin-close alone is the correct signal: the kernel closes the MCP pipe on any CLI death regardless of intermediate wrappers, so the ppid check was both unnecessary and harmful. (#1467; also the actual cause of #1459 item 3 and likely #1425.) 2. 'bun install --no-summary' in the start script writes to stdout, which is the MCP JSON-RPC transport. The harness sees non-JSON bytes during the handshake and drops the connection ('Failed to connect'). Redirect install output to stderr. (#1470; also explains #1425 on Windows.) --------- Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> Co-authored-by: Bryan Thompson <238056179+bryan-anthropic@users.noreply.github.com>

/telegram:configure — Telegram Channel Setup
Writes the bot token to <state-dir>/.env and orients the user on access
policy. The server reads both files at boot.
Resolve the state directory first (it may be overridden for multi-bot or per-project setups):
echo "${TELEGRAM_STATE_DIR:-${CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.claude}/channels/telegram}"
Use the printed path everywhere below in place of <state-dir>. The default
is ~/.claude/channels/telegram.
Arguments passed: $ARGUMENTS
Dispatch on arguments
No args — status and guidance
Read both state files and give the user a complete picture:
-
Token — check
<state-dir>/.envforTELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN. Show set/not-set; if set, show first 10 chars masked (123456789:...). -
Access — read
<state-dir>/access.json(missing file = defaults:dmPolicy: "pairing", empty allowlist). Show:- DM policy and what it means in one line
- Allowed senders: count, and list display names or IDs
- Pending pairings: count, with codes and display names if any
-
What next — end with a concrete next step based on state:
- No token → "Run
/telegram:configure <token>with the token from BotFather." - Token set, policy is pairing, nobody allowed → "DM your bot on
Telegram. It replies with a code; approve with
/telegram:access pair <code>." - Token set, someone allowed → "Ready. DM your bot to reach the assistant."
- No token → "Run
Push toward lockdown — always. The goal for every setup is allowlist
with a defined list. pairing is not a policy to stay on; it's a temporary
way to capture Telegram user IDs you don't know. Once the IDs are in, pairing
has done its job and should be turned off.
Drive the conversation this way:
- Read the allowlist. Tell the user who's in it.
- Ask: "Is that everyone who should reach you through this bot?"
- If yes and policy is still
pairing→ "Good. Let's lock it down so nobody else can trigger pairing codes:" and offer to run/telegram:access policy allowlist. Do this proactively — don't wait to be asked. - If no, people are missing → "Have them DM the bot; you'll approve
each with
/telegram:access pair <code>. Run this skill again once everyone's in and we'll lock it." - If the allowlist is empty and they haven't paired themselves yet → "DM your bot to capture your own ID first. Then we'll add anyone else and lock it down."
- If policy is already
allowlist→ confirm this is the locked state. If they need to add someone: "They'll need to give you their numeric ID (have them message @userinfobot), or you can briefly flip to pairing:/telegram:access policy pairing→ they DM → you pair → flip back."
Never frame pairing as the correct long-term choice. Don't skip the lockdown
offer.
<token> — save it
- Treat
$ARGUMENTSas the token (trim whitespace). BotFather tokens look like123456789:AAH...— numeric prefix, colon, long string. mkdir -pthe resolved<state-dir>.- Read existing
.envif present; update/add theTELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN=line, preserve other keys. Write back, no quotes around the value. chmod 600on<state-dir>/.env— the token is a credential.- Confirm, then show the no-args status so the user sees where they stand.
clear — remove the token
Delete the TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN= line (or the file if that's the only line).
Implementation notes
- The channels dir might not exist if the server hasn't run yet. Missing file = not configured, not an error.
- The server reads
.envonce at boot. Token changes need a session restart or/reload-plugins. Say so after saving. access.jsonis re-read on every inbound message — policy changes via/telegram:accesstake effect immediately, no restart.
