feat(telegram): promo bot + channel-chat moderation gate
Add a second standalone promo bot to the bot container (answers /start with a
localized message + a URL button into the main bot's Mini App) and gate write
access in a channel's linked discussion chat: grant on join when the Telegram
user is registered and neither admin-suspended nor holding a new chat_muted
role, and revoke/grant on the matching moderation change for a member currently
in the chat.

Eligibility (registered AND NOT suspended AND NOT chat_muted; the game
suspension dominates) is resolved once in the backend and reached two ways: the
bot's join-time unary ResolveChatEligibility over the existing mTLS bot-link,
and a backend chat_access_changed event -> gateway -> ChatGate command
(idempotent; a temporary-block-expiry sweeper may over-emit). The bot guards the
block/unblock path with getChatMember, since bots cannot list members.

A web_app button cannot open another bot's Mini App (it signs initData with the
sending bot's token), so the promo button is a t.me ?startapp URL reusing the
UI's VITE_TELEGRAM_LINK. The bot must be a chat admin with the restrict-members
right and chat_member in its allowed updates.

No schema change: chat_muted reuses the data-driven account_roles table.

# scrabble/platform/telegram — Telegram validator + bot
The Telegram platform side-service, split into **two binaries** that share the bot
token, so Telegram egress lives off the main host while game login does not depend on
it. See [`docs/ARCHITECTURE.md`](../../docs/ARCHITECTURE.md) §1/§3/§10/§12/§13.
- **`cmd/validator`** (home) — verifies Mini App `initData` and Login Widget data by
HMAC (the bot token is the secret) and **never calls the Bot API**. It serves the
validation gRPC API the gateway calls during Telegram auth, on the trusted internal
network with no VPN. Because it needs no Telegram reachability, **game login stays up
even when the bot or the bot-link is down**.
- **`cmd/bot`** (remote) — runs the Bot API long-poll (Mini App launch + `/start`
deep-links) and `sendMessage`, the only component reaching the Telegram Bot API. It
holds **no inbound port**: it dials the gateway over a reverse **mTLS bot-link** and
executes the send commands the gateway pushes, so its egress can run on a host with
native Telegram access (a VPN sidecar in the test contour, a separate host in prod).
Both hold the same token. One bot owns the exclusive `getUpdates` long-poll
(`TELEGRAM_OWNS_UPDATES`, exactly one per token, else Telegram returns 409); the
design leaves seams (a gateway bot registry, the `owns_updates` flag, per-command ids)
for running several bots later, not built yet.
## Validator
`ValidateInitData` validates `initData` against the token and returns only the
Telegram user identity (no per-bot service language, no supported-languages set);
`ValidateLoginWidget` verifies Telegram **Login Widget** web sign-in data — HMAC under
`SHA-256(bot_token)`, distinct from initData (`internal/loginwidget`) — for attaching a
Telegram identity to an account from a browser. Both map a rejection to gRPC
`InvalidArgument`.
## Bot
- **Send commands.** The gateway pushes `Notify` (out-of-app push: your_turn,
game_over, nudge, match_found, and the invitation / friend_request notify sub-kinds),
`SendToUser` and `SendToGameChannel` (operator broadcasts) down the bot-link. The bot
renders the message in the command's `language` (the recipient's interface language;
operator-chosen for broadcasts) with a Mini App launch button and sends it. It replies
with an `Ack` per command (`delivered` mirrors the former connector semantics —
false when the kind is not rendered out-of-app or the user never started the bot).
- **Bot chat.** `/start <payload>` (and the chat menu button) reply with a Mini App
launch button; a deep-link payload routes the launch to a game / invitation / friend
code. This is **self-contained** — the bot never calls back into the game, so `/start`
onboarding works even when the game is down.
- **Moderated-chat gating.** When `TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID` names a channel's linked discussion
group, the bot gates who may write there. The group is configured **default no-send**
(a human setting); the bot grants write access to a user who **joins** when they are
registered and neither admin-suspended nor `chat_muted`, asking the gateway over the
bot-link (`ResolveChatEligibility`). When an operator blocks/unblocks an account or
toggles its `chat_muted` role, the gateway pushes a `ChatGate` command and the bot
applies it — but only to a member currently in the chat (it probes one user with
`getChatMember`, since bots cannot list members). The bot must be an **administrator**
there with the **"Ban users"** right (the Bot API `can_restrict_members`), and it
subscribes to `chat_member` updates, which Telegram delivers only to a chat admin.
- **Promo bot (optional).** When `TELEGRAM_PROMO_BOT_TOKEN` is set, the container also
runs a **second, standalone** bot whose only job is to answer `/start` with a localized
message and a button that opens the **main** bot's Mini App. The button is a **URL** to
the main bot's direct link (`TELEGRAM_BOT_LINK`, the same link the UI uses) with
`?startapp` — a `web_app` button would launch under the promo bot's identity (its token
would sign the initData), which the main bot's validator rejects. It is fully
self-contained: no bot-link, no gateway, no game.
- **Rate limiting.** Outbound sends are throttled (`TELEGRAM_SEND_RATE_PER_SECOND`,
default 25) to respect the Bot API flood limits.
The send commands address a recipient by the identity `external_id` (as in the backend
`identities` table), so a future VK / MAX bot reuses them; only the validator's initData
parsing is Telegram-specific.
## gRPC contracts
- `pkg/proto/telegram/v1`, service `Telegram` — served by the **validator**
(`ValidateInitData`, `ValidateLoginWidget`). Its `Notify` / `SendToUser` /
`SendToGameChannel` request shapes are reused as bot-link command payloads; the
gateway also implements `SendToUser` / `SendToGameChannel` as the backend's admin
relay.
- `pkg/proto/botlink/v1`, service `BotLink` — the reverse bidi stream the **bot** dials
on the gateway (`Hello` / `Command` / `Ack`), now also carrying a `ChatGateCommand` (set
a user's chat write access) and a unary `ResolveChatEligibility` (the bot's join-time
query) over the same mTLS channel. Generated Go is committed under `pkg`.
## Deep-link scheme
Shared verbatim with the UI (`ui/src/lib/deeplink.ts`). A Mini App start parameter is a
one-character kind prefix plus a value:
| Parameter | Destination |
| --- | --- |
| `g<game uuid>` | open that game |
| `i<invitation uuid>` | open that invitation |
| `f<6-digit code>` | redeem that friend code |
| empty / unknown | the lobby |
The bot turns a `/start <payload>` or a notification target into a launch-button URL
`<MiniAppURL>?startapp=<payload>`.
## Configuration
Shared:
| Env var | Default | Meaning |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN` | — (required) | the bot's API token + initData HMAC secret |
| `TELEGRAM_LOG_LEVEL` | `info` | zap log level |
| `TELEGRAM_SERVICE_NAME` | per binary | OpenTelemetry `service.name` (validator: `scrabble-telegram-validator`, bot: `scrabble-telegram-bot`) |
| `TELEGRAM_OTEL_TRACES_EXPORTER` | `none` | `none`, `stdout` or `otlp` (gRPC; endpoint from `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_*`) |
| `TELEGRAM_OTEL_METRICS_EXPORTER` | `none` | `none`, `stdout` or `otlp` |
Validator (`cmd/validator`):
| Env var | Default | Meaning |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `TELEGRAM_VALIDATOR_GRPC_ADDR` | `:9091` | validator gRPC listen address (the gateway dials it) |
Bot (`cmd/bot`):
| Env var | Default | Meaning |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `TELEGRAM_MINIAPP_URL` | — (required) | Mini App HTTPS origin (BotFather-registered) |
| `TELEGRAM_GATEWAY_ADDR` | — (required) | the gateway bot-link endpoint to dial |
| `TELEGRAM_BOTLINK_SERVER_NAME` | — (required) | the gateway certificate's expected SNI / CN |
| `TELEGRAM_BOTLINK_TLS_CERT` / `_KEY` / `_CA` | — (required) | the bot client cert, its key, and the CA that signs the gateway server cert |
| `TELEGRAM_GAME_CHANNEL_ID` | — | the bot's game channel chat id for `SendToGameChannel` |
| `TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID` | — | the moderated discussion chat id (a channel's linked group); empty disables chat gating |
| `TELEGRAM_PROMO_BOT_TOKEN` | — | the optional standalone promo bot's token; empty disables it |
| `TELEGRAM_BOT_USERNAME` | — | the main bot's @username without the @ (promo message); required when the promo bot runs |
| `TELEGRAM_BOT_LINK` | — | the main bot's Mini App link for the promo button (the UI's `VITE_TELEGRAM_LINK`); required when the promo bot runs |
| `TELEGRAM_OWNS_UPDATES` | `true` | run the exclusive `getUpdates` long-poll (one bot per token) |
| `TELEGRAM_SEND_RATE_PER_SECOND` | `25` | outbound Bot API send cap (0 disables) |
| `TELEGRAM_INSTANCE_ID` | hostname | bot identity reported to the gateway |
| `TELEGRAM_BOTLINK_RECONNECT_DELAY` | `2s` | pause before re-dialing after the stream ends |
| `TELEGRAM_API_BASE_URL` | `https://api.telegram.org` | Bot API host override (mock / self-hosted) |
| `TELEGRAM_TEST_ENV` | `false` | route to the Bot API **test environment** (`/bot<token>/test/METHOD`) |
## Build, test, run
```sh
go build ./platform/telegram/...
go test ./platform/telegram/... # unit tests use an httptest fake Bot API + an in-process bot-link
go run ./platform/telegram/cmd/validator # needs TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN
go run ./platform/telegram/cmd/bot # needs the bot env above + mTLS cert files
```
## Deploy
`platform/telegram/Dockerfile` builds both binaries on distroless nonroot with two
targets, `validator` and `bot`. In the test contour (`deploy/docker-compose.yml`) the
**validator** runs on the internal network (no VPN); the **bot** keeps a VPN sidecar
for Telegram egress and dials the gateway bot-link by its internal name. The bot-link
mTLS material is generated by `deploy/gen-certs.sh`. In prod the bot runs on a separate
host with native Telegram access and dials the gateway's published bot-link port with
`PROD_` certificates (the deferred final stage — see `PRERELEASE.md`).
A real end-to-end Telegram smoke needs a BotFather bot, its token, a public HTTPS Mini
App origin, and the bot container; the unit tests cover the wire format, templates,
deep-links, the validator handlers and the bot-link client/executor without a live bot.
