Telegram

Provides OSINT posts and bot commands/alerts.

• Source collection uses configured public/channel inputs where available.
• Bot alerts require TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN and TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID.
• Polling failures are non-fatal and use backoff logging to avoid log spam.
• /brief includes source integrity, evidence links, event id, why-it-matters, and next-step context.
• Test: configure bot variables, start the container, send /status and /brief.
