/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.
/addsticker becomes a single stateless command in util, writing to one
env-configured set (STICKER_PACK_NAME, default miti99_by_miti99bot).
AddStickerToSet takes the set owner's user ID rather than the caller's, so
nothing is per-user any more: the sticker module's pack records, slug
reservations, pending deletes, per-user locks and its eight other commands are
removed with it.
The pack creates itself on first use. A positive STICKERSET_INVALID from the
add triggers createNewStickerSet owned by OWNER_ID, seeded with the sticker
that triggered it and titled with the slug half of the name; a name that is
occupied but unwritable is reported instead of taken over. The mandatory
"_by_<bot_username>" suffix is Telegram's own proof of authorship, so a
misconfigured pack name is refused offline before any API call. StickerSet
exposes no owner ID, so ownership is only provable when Telegram refuses.
Video, GIF, animation and video-note sources are transcoded to WEBM/VP9 with
ffmpeg: long edge scaled to exactly 512 in either direction, cut to 3s, capped
at 30fps, audio dropped, retried down a CRF ladder until under 256KB. Animated
and video stickers are copied by file_id with no conversion. Sticker format is
per-sticker since Bot API 7.2, so one pack holds all three.
ffmpeg cannot ship in distroless/static and Go has no VP9 encoder, so the
runtime base becomes alpine with apk add ffmpeg. The image grows from roughly
20MB to 213MB, and the transcode holds the single dispatcher worker — bounded
at 20s per encode and a 45s handler deadline for moving sources, against 10s
for stills.
Nine commands mirroring the names @Stickers uses: /newpack, /mypack,
/addsticker, /delsticker, /editsticker, /ordersticker, /setpackicon,
/renamepack and /delpack, plus a confirm callback for the destructive
one. Sources are replied stickers, photos or image documents; photos are
downloaded, resampled to 512px and re-uploaded.
One pack per user, keyed by owner id. Creating a pack is the only
operation here that makes a durable, publicly linkable object on a user's
behalf, so it is built around proving ownership rather than assuming it:
- A name is claimed globally and create-only before Telegram is called.
A pending record alone proves only that a caller *asked* for a name,
which is exactly what someone naming a victim's public slug also does.
- Adopting an existing set additionally requires that the claim predates
this invocation. The claim lives in our store and the pack lives at
Telegram, so a wiped store would otherwise make every pack adoptable.
- Names are released only on positive evidence that no pack stands behind
them, never on a generic failure, so a transient error cannot hand a
live name to the next caller.
- Ownership refusals are byte-identical across failure modes, so they
cannot be used to probe which sets exist.
Error classification is positive-only throughout: "the set is gone" and
"nothing was created" are each proven from a specific Telegram response,
never inferred from an error. Post-action commits run on a context
detached from the request so a shutdown mid-handler cannot lose the
record of something Telegram already did.
Enabled explicitly via MODULES rather than by default.
/amlich converts duong lich to am lich (defaults to today, Asia/Saigon);
/duonglich converts am lich to duong lich with a nhuan flag for leap
months. Dates accept d, d/m, or d/m/yyyy - missing parts fill from today
in the input's calendar. Conversion is a dependency-free port of Ho Ngoc
Duc's algorithm at UTC+7, with rejection of impossible lunar inputs,
anchored by known Tet/leap-month dates and a 1950-2050 round-trip test.
Replies with a hashtag line led by #MonkeyD, then a blank line and the novel
URL, sent as a code block so it can be copied in one tap. Each genre label
becomes one hashtag with spaces and punctuation stripped and every word
capitalised, since Telegram ends a hashtag at the first character that is not a
letter, digit, or underscore. Diacritics survive; a label with no letters is
dropped rather than emitted as a bare hash.
The command costs one request and runs inline under a short timeout rather than
in the background: handlers are dispatched one at a time, so a stalled fetch
would block every other command. It shares the export page cache.
Advance the submodule to the tag parser, which matches itemprop="genre"
microdata so the site-wide genre navigation stays out of the result.
/monkeyd_crawl <url> [font_size] sets the body text size in points, half points
included, bounded to 6-24. Omitting it sends no size at all so the crawler's
default applies, rather than defining a second default here that could drift.
The document caption reports the size used.
Also advance the submodule to the lower 10pt default: on the 90x160mm phone
page that fits about 43 characters per line instead of 36.
Advance the crawler submodule to the fix for the production failure "stat
usr/share/fonts/...: no such file or directory": the PDF writer was handing
fpdf a font path, and fpdf rewrote the absolute path into a
working-directory-relative one. Font data is now passed as bytes, with a
fallback font compiled into the binary when the host has none.
The runtime image therefore no longer installs DejaVuSans, which also removes
the font layer from the builder stage.
/monkeyd_crawl becomes public. The host allowlist and the single in-flight
export were already the controls that bound its cost; they now carry that job
alone, so both are load-bearing.
