feat(telegram): split connector into home validator + remote bot
Move all Telegram egress off the main host. The single connector held the
bot token, long-polled Telegram and answered the gateway/backend over the
trusted internal network, so the whole component (including login validation)
shared fate with its VPN sidecar. Split it into two binaries that share the
token:

- cmd/validator (home, no VPN): Mini App initData + Login Widget HMAC only,
  never calls the Bot API. The gateway dials it for Telegram auth, so game
  login is now independent of Telegram reachability.
- cmd/bot (remote): Bot API long-poll + sendMessage, the only component
  reaching Telegram. It holds no inbound port — it dials the gateway over a
  new reverse mTLS bot-link (pkg/proto/botlink/v1) and executes the send
  commands the gateway pushes.

The gateway funnels sends to the bot-link: out-of-app push is fire-and-forget
(at-most-once, dropped if no bot is connected); the backend admin broadcasts
reach a gateway-served relay that forwards them and awaits the bot's ack
(SendToUser/SendToGameChannel contract preserved). mTLS (pkg/mtls) is the one
inter-service link that leaves the trusted segment; validator<->gateway and
the relay stay plaintext internal. The bot is Telegram-rate-limited.

One bot now; the gateway bot registry, an owns_updates flag and per-command
ids leave seams for N later. Webhook rejected (one URL per token, adds inbound
+ a static address).

The unified test contour runs the split (the bot keeps its VPN sidecar and
dials the gateway by its internal name; bot-link certs from deploy/gen-certs.sh,
generated in CI). The prod wiring — the bot on a separate host (no VPN), the
gateway bot-link port published, PROD_ certs with scheduled rotation, an SSH
deploy of both hosts together — is the deferred final stage (PRERELEASE.md TX,
Stage 18).

# gateway
The Scrabble platform's only public ingress (module `scrabble/gateway`). It
terminates the client's **Connect-RPC + FlatBuffers** traffic over HTTP/2
cleartext (`h2c`), authenticates the originating credential, mints/resolves a
thin opaque session, rate-limits, injects `X-User-ID` when forwarding to the
backend over REST/JSON, and bridges the backend's gRPC push stream to each
client's in-app live channel. It **embeds the static UI build** (`go:embed`, baked
in by the gateway image's node stage) and serves a **landing page** at `/` and the game
**SPA** at `/app/` (web) and `/telegram/` (the Mini App) — the single-origin model.
Hash-named `/assets/*` are served `immutable`; the HTML shells are `no-cache`. It can also serve the
backend's admin console at `/_gm` behind HTTP Basic-Auth for a local non-caddy run;
in the deployed contour the front caddy owns `/_gm` (see
[`../deploy`](../deploy)). See
[`../docs/ARCHITECTURE.md`](../docs/ARCHITECTURE.md) §2, §3, §10, §12, §13.

```
The FlatBuffers payloads and the backend push proto are the shared wire
contracts in [`../pkg`](../pkg).
## Transport contract
A single `Gateway` Connect service: `Execute(message_type, payload, request_id)`
for unary operations and `Subscribe` for the live stream. The `payload` bytes are
FlatBuffers tables (`scrabble/pkg/fbs`); the gateway transcodes them to and from
the backend's JSON. The session token rides in `Authorization: Bearer`; `auth.*`
operations are unauthenticated and return the minted token. A unary domain
outcome rides back in `ExecuteResponse.result_code` (HTTP 200); only edge
failures become Connect error codes.
`auth.telegram` validates the Mini App `initData` by calling the **Telegram validator**
(`GATEWAY_VALIDATOR_ADDR`), which holds the bot token (HMAC); out-of-app push for
recipients with no live in-app stream goes to the remote **bot** over the reverse **mTLS
bot-link** (`GATEWAY_BOTLINK_ADDR`, fire-and-forget), and the backend admin broadcasts
arrive on the gateway's plaintext **relay** (`GATEWAY_BOTLINK_RELAY_ADDR`) which forwards
them down the same link and awaits the bot's ack (ARCHITECTURE.md §10/§12). When
`GATEWAY_VALIDATOR_ADDR` is unset Telegram auth is disabled; when `GATEWAY_BOTLINK_ADDR`
is unset the bot channel (out-of-app push + admin relay) is disabled.
The message-type catalog: `auth.telegram`, `auth.guest`,
`auth.email.request`, `auth.email.login`, `profile.get`, `game.submit_play`,
`game.state`, `lobby.enqueue`, `lobby.poll`, `chat.post`, `chat.read` and the play-loop ops;
live events
`your_turn`, `opponent_moved`, `chat_message`, `nudge`, `match_found` (the game events —
and `game_over`/`notify` — carry the state delta the client applies without a `game.state`
refetch). The social/account/history ops —
`friends.*` (list/incoming/request/respond/cancel/unfriend/code.issue/code.redeem),
`blocks.*`, `invitation.*` (list/create/accept/decline/cancel), `profile.update`,
`stats.get`, `game.gcg`, and the `notify` live event — go through the identical
transcode pattern (`transcode_social.go`). Account linking & merge
`link.email.request/confirm/merge` and `link.telegram.confirm/merge`
(`transcode_link.go`); the telegram ops validate the **Login Widget** payload via the
validator (`ValidateLoginWidget`) and forward the trusted `external_id`. These
**superseded** the former `email.bind.*` ops, which were removed.
## Configuration
| Variable | Default | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `GATEWAY_HTTP_ADDR` | `:8081` | public Connect/h2c listener (also serves the admin console at `/_gm`) |
| `GATEWAY_LOG_LEVEL` | `info` | zap level |
| `GATEWAY_BACKEND_HTTP_URL` | `http://localhost:8080` | backend REST base URL |
| `GATEWAY_BACKEND_GRPC_ADDR` | `localhost:9090` | backend push gRPC address |
| `GATEWAY_BACKEND_TIMEOUT` | `5s` | per backend REST call |
| `GATEWAY_ADMIN_USER` / `GATEWAY_ADMIN_PASSWORD` | unset | enable + guard the admin console at `/_gm` |
| `GATEWAY_VALIDATOR_ADDR` | unset | Telegram validator gRPC address (enables initData / Login Widget validation) |
| `GATEWAY_BOTLINK_ADDR` | unset | reverse mTLS bot-link listener the remote bot dials (enables out-of-app push + admin relay) |
| `GATEWAY_BOTLINK_RELAY_ADDR` | unset | plaintext internal listener serving the backend admin `SendToUser`/`SendToGameChannel` relay |
| `GATEWAY_BOTLINK_TLS_CERT` / `_KEY` / `_CA` | unset | gateway server cert, its key, and the CA that signs accepted bot client certs (required when `GATEWAY_BOTLINK_ADDR` is set) |
| `GATEWAY_BOTLINK_SEND_TIMEOUT` | `5s` | admin relay wait for the bot ack before reporting not-delivered |
| `GATEWAY_SESSION_TTL` | `10m` | cached session lifetime |
| `GATEWAY_SESSION_CACHE_MAX` | `50000` | cached session cap |
| `GATEWAY_PUSH_HEARTBEAT_INTERVAL` | `10s` | live-stream keep-alive (an immediate heartbeat also fires on open, under the ~15s edge idle timeout) |
| `GATEWAY_MAX_BODY_BYTES` | `1048576` | caps one request body and one Connect message read; an oversized Execute is refused with `resource_exhausted` |
| `GATEWAY_SERVICE_NAME` | `scrabble-gateway` | OpenTelemetry `service.name` |
| `GATEWAY_OTEL_TRACES_EXPORTER` | `none` | `none`, `stdout` or `otlp` (gRPC; endpoint from `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_*`) |
| `GATEWAY_OTEL_METRICS_EXPORTER` | `none` | `none`, `stdout` or `otlp` |
Rate-limit defaults (built-in): public 30/min·IP (burst 10), authenticated
300/min·user (burst 80, sized for multi-device play), admin
60/min·IP (burst 20, guarding the `/_gm` mount ahead of its Basic-Auth),
email-code 5/10 min·IP (burst 2).
Every rejection increments `gateway_rate_limited_total{class}`
(`user`/`public`/`email`/`admin`) and logs one Debug line; a reporter drains the
per-key rejection tracker every 30 s, emits a Warn summary per throttled key and
posts the report to the backend (`/api/v1/internal/ratelimit/report`), feeding
the admin console's throttled view and the high-rate auto-flag.
## Run
```sh
GATEWAY_BACKEND_HTTP_URL=http://localhost:8080 \
GATEWAY_BACKEND_GRPC_ADDR=localhost:9090 \
go run ./gateway/cmd/gateway # Connect edge on :8081
```
## Generated code
The Connect envelope Go is committed under `proto/edge/v1`. Regenerate after
editing the `.proto` (dev-time, like `backend/cmd/jetgen`):
```sh
make -C gateway tools # go install protoc-gen-go + protoc-gen-connect-go
make -C gateway gen # buf generate (local plugins)
```
The FlatBuffers payloads are generated in [`../pkg`](../pkg) (`make -C pkg fbs`).
## Tests
```sh
go test -count=1 ./gateway/...
```
All gateway tests are hermetic: no real network, a fake backend (`httptest`) and
credential fixtures. There is no integration (Docker) suite — the gateway holds
no database.
