  • Command handling: built‑in /stop, /qa, and /status commands execute directly from Telegram, with safe defaults.
  • Configuration utilities: one‑time setup for bot token, chat pairing, and optional Whisper transcription.
  • Menu customization: define custom / commands for project‑specific actions.
