Refactor index (#156)

* feat: add Telegram channel with agent swarm support

Add Telegram as a messaging channel that can run alongside WhatsApp
or standalone (TELEGRAM_ONLY mode). Includes bot pool support for
agent swarms where each subagent appears as a different bot identity
in the group.

- Add grammy dependency for Telegram Bot API
- Route messages through tg: JID prefix convention
- Add storeMessageDirect for non-Baileys channels
- Add sender field to IPC send_message for swarm identity
- Support TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN, TELEGRAM_ONLY, TELEGRAM_BOT_POOL config

* docs: add index.ts refactor plan

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* refactor: extract channel abstraction, IPC, and router from index.ts

Break the 1088-line monolith into focused modules:
- src/channels/whatsapp.ts: WhatsAppChannel class implementing Channel interface
- src/ipc.ts: IPC watcher and task processing with dependency injection
- src/router.ts: message formatting, outbound routing, channel lookup
- src/types.ts: Channel interface, OnInboundMessage, OnChatMetadata types

Also adds regression test suite (98 tests), updates all documentation
and skill files to reflect the new architecture.

* chore: remove accidentally committed pool-bot assets

* fix(ci): remove grammy from base dependencies

Grammy is installed by the /add-telegram skill, not a base dependency.

## Architecture
NanoClaw uses a **Channel abstraction** (`Channel` interface in `src/types.ts`). Each messaging platform implements this interface. Key files:
| File | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `src/types.ts` | `Channel` interface definition |
| `src/channels/whatsapp.ts` | `WhatsAppChannel` class (reference implementation) |
| `src/router.ts` | `findChannel()`, `routeOutbound()`, `formatOutbound()` |
| `src/index.ts` | Orchestrator: creates channels, wires callbacks, starts subsystems |
| `src/ipc.ts` | IPC watcher (uses `sendMessage` dep for outbound) |
The Telegram channel follows the same pattern as WhatsApp:
- Implements `Channel` interface (`connect`, `sendMessage`, `ownsJid`, `disconnect`, `setTyping`)
- Delivers inbound messages via `onMessage` / `onChatMetadata` callbacks
- The existing message loop in `src/index.ts` picks up stored messages automatically
## Implementation
### Step 1: Update Configuration
@@ -92,327 +109,299 @@ export const TELEGRAM_ONLY = process.env.TELEGRAM_ONLY === "true";
These should be added near the top with other configuration exports.
### Step 2: Add storeMessageDirect to Database
### Step 2: Create Telegram Channel
Read `src/db.ts` and add this function (place it near the `storeMessage` function):
```typescript
/**
* Store a message directly (for non-WhatsApp channels that don't use Baileys proto).
*/
export function storeMessageDirect(msg: {
id: string;
chat_jid: string;
sender: string;
sender_name: string;
content: string;
timestamp: string;
is_from_me: boolean;
}): void {
db.prepare(
`INSERT OR REPLACE INTO messages (id, chat_jid, sender, sender_name, content, timestamp, is_from_me) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)`,
).run(
msg.id,
msg.chat_jid,
msg.sender,
msg.sender_name,
msg.content,
msg.timestamp,
msg.is_from_me ? 1 : 0,
);
}
```
This uses the existing `db` instance from `db.ts`. No additional imports needed.
### Step 3: Create Telegram Module
Create `src/telegram.ts`. The Telegram module is a thin layer that stores incoming messages to the database. It does NOT call the agent directly — the existing `startMessageLoop()` in `src/index.ts` polls all registered group JIDs and picks up Telegram messages automatically.
Create `src/channels/telegram.ts` implementing the `Channel` interface. Use `src/channels/whatsapp.ts` as a reference for the pattern.

Key differences from WhatsApp message handling:
- No `onMessage` callbackmessages are stored to DB and the existing message loop picks them up
- Registration check uses `getAllRegisteredGroups()` from `db.ts` directly
- Trigger matching is handled by `startMessageLoop()` / `processGroupMessages()`, not the Telegram module
Key differences from the old standalone `src/telegram.ts`:
- Implements `Channel` interfacesame pattern as `WhatsAppChannel`
- Uses `onMessage` / `onChatMetadata` callbacks instead of importing DB functions directly
- Registration check via `registeredGroups()` callback, not `getAllRegisteredGroups()`
- `prefixAssistantName = false` — Telegram bots already show their name, so `formatOutbound()` skips the prefix
- No `storeMessageDirect` needed — `storeMessage()` in db.ts already accepts `NewMessage` directly
### Step 4: Update Main Application
### Step 3: Update Main Application
Modify `src/index.ts`:
Modify `src/index.ts` to support multiple channels. Read the file first to understand the current structure.
1. **Add imports** at the top:
```typescript
import {
connectTelegram,
sendTelegramMessage,
setTelegramTyping,
stopTelegram,
} from "./telegram.js";
import { TelegramChannel } from "./channels/telegram.js";
import { TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN, TELEGRAM_ONLY } from "./config.js";
import { findChannel } from "./router.js";
```
2. **Update `sendMessage` function** to route Telegram messages. Find the `sendMessage` function and add a `tg:` prefix check before the WhatsApp path:
2. **Add a channels array** alongside the existing `whatsapp` variable:
```typescript
async function sendMessage(jid: string, text: string): Promise<void> {
// Route Telegram messages directly (no outgoing queue needed)
if (jid.startsWith("tg:")) {
await sendTelegramMessage(jid, text);
return;
}
// WhatsApp path (with outgoing queue for reconnection)
if (!waConnected) {
outgoingQueue.push({ jid, text });
logger.info({ jid, length: text.length, queueSize: outgoingQueue.length }, 'WA disconnected, message queued');
return;
}
try {
await sock.sendMessage(jid, { text });
logger.info({ jid, length: text.length }, 'Message sent');
} catch (err) {
outgoingQueue.push({ jid, text });
logger.warn({ jid, err, queueSize: outgoingQueue.length }, 'Failed to send, message queued');
}
}
let whatsapp: WhatsAppChannel;
const channels: Channel[] = [];
```
3. **Update `setTyping` function** to route Telegram typing indicators:
Import `Channel` from `./types.js` if not already imported.
3. **Update `processGroupMessages`** to find the correct channel for the JID instead of using `whatsapp` directly. Replace the direct `whatsapp.setTyping()` and `whatsapp.sendMessage()` calls:
```typescript
async function setTyping(jid: string, isTyping: boolean): Promise<void> {
if (jid.startsWith("tg:")) {
if (isTyping) await setTelegramTyping(jid);
return;
}
try {
await sock.sendPresenceUpdate(isTyping ? 'composing' : 'paused', jid);
} catch (err) {
logger.debug({ jid, err }, 'Failed to update typing status');
}
}
// Find the channel that owns this JID
const channel = findChannel(channels, chatJid);
if (!channel) return true; // No channel for this JID
// ... (existing code for message fetching, trigger check, formatting)
await channel.setTyping?.(chatJid, true);
// ... (existing agent invocation, replacing whatsapp.sendMessage with channel.sendMessage)
await channel.setTyping?.(chatJid, false);
```
4. **Update `main()` function**. Add Telegram startup before `connectWhatsApp()` and wrap WhatsApp in a `TELEGRAM_ONLY` check:
In the `onOutput` callback inside `processGroupMessages`, replace:
```typescript
await whatsapp.sendMessage(chatJid, `${ASSISTANT_NAME}: ${text}`);
```
with:
```typescript
const formatted = formatOutbound(channel, text);
if (formatted) await channel.sendMessage(chatJid, formatted);
```
4. **Update `main()` function** to create channels conditionally and use them for deps:

Note: When running alongside WhatsApp, the `connection.open` handler in `connectWhatsApp()` already starts the scheduler, IPC watcher, queue, and message loop — no duplication needed.
