compose.yml now holds each default as ${VAR:-default}, and the code keeps
no fallback values. The bot stops at startup on a missing or invalid
PORT or LOG_LEVEL, /addsticker refuses without STICKER_PACK_NAME, and the
renderer refuses to start until every RENDERER_* setting is a valid
value, listing each problem. Settings whose empty value means none or
all (MODULES, OWNER_ID, ADMIN_IDS, the API tokens) use ${VAR:-}.
The renderer's npm start and dev load .env when present, so a local run
works from a copy of .env.example.
BREAKING CHANGE: running outside compose now requires LOG_LEVEL and PORT
for the bot, STICKER_PACK_NAME for /addsticker, and every RENDERER_*
variable for the renderer.
Correct comments that described the retired webhook transport, a removed
/cron route, the old KV store and wrapper types, and behaviour that has since
changed; drop plan and review labels; reword two startup log lines that
overstated or misnamed what they report.
/alias <name> saves a replied message under a name and /insert <name> sends it
back; /aliases lists every name and /unalias deletes one. Every Telegram format
is supported — sticker, photo, GIF, video, video note, audio, voice, document,
plain text — and each is kept as the file_id Telegram already issued, so nothing
is downloaded and an alias survives redeploys. The namespace is global and the
last assignment wins, matching the shared sticker pack; /unalias is open to
anyone for the same reason.
A saved name also works as its own command: /cheer rather than /insert cheer.
This needs two new seams in the module contract. Module.Fallback handles a
/command no module registered, and the dispatcher installs it after every
Command — the bot library returns the first matching handler, so code always
beats a name resolved at runtime, including an alias that shares a command
added in a later build. /alias refuses a name already in the registry for the
same reason, since such an alias would only reach /insert. An unknown command
stays silent: the fallback sees every unrecognised /foo in every chat, so
replying would make typos noisy and would confirm which names exist.
Module.Inline answers inline-mode queries — "@botname <prefix>" from any chat,
filtered by prefix and capped at Telegram's 50 results. Each result is a cached
inline type carrying the stored file_id, so the picker renders real previews
without an upload. Video notes are omitted because Telegram defines no
InlineQueryResultCachedVideoNote and substituting a plain video would change
what was saved. Inline mode must be enabled in BotFather before Telegram
delivers these updates.
Both slots are single-occupancy with conflict detection at Build. Auth.Permits
learns the inline sender so a gated inline handler would not deny everyone.
Build's command indexing and slot claiming move into addCommands/addSingletons,
keeping it under the project's cyclomatic cap.
Also restores the sticker module: /addsticker moves back out of util, which has
no store, into internal/modules/sticker as its only command.
