Slow bot commands (/latest, /random, /favorites, /memory, /search,
/find, /person, /place, /summary) spend most of their wall time
fetching assets from the service provider, not uploading to Telegram.
Telegram chat actions expire after ~5s, so the previous one-shot hint
vanished long before media arrived — users saw nothing happening.
- TelegramClient.start_chat_action_keepalive: promoted from private
helper to public API, posts the action every 4s until cancelled.
- telegram_send.telegram_chat_action: async context manager that
starts the keep-alive task on enter and cancels + awaits it on
exit. A None action makes it a no-op so callers don't branch.
- classify_command_chat_action: maps command name to the right
Telegram action (upload_photo for media-returning commands, typing
for /summary, None for fast DB-only commands like /status /events).
- webhook.py + telegram_poller.py: wrap handle_command in the context
manager so the hint persists through the whole fetch+upload window
in both webhook and long-poll modes.
Telegram webhook handler crashed with sqlalchemy.exc.MissingGreenlet
when processing any incoming message after committing the chat row:
TelegramChat.bot_id == bot.id
^^^^^^
MissingGreenlet: greenlet_spawn has not been called
AsyncSession expires all instances on commit. Accessing bot.id/bot.token
after that triggers implicit lazy-load I/O from a sync attribute getter,
which can't enter the greenlet dispatcher → crash.
Fix: snapshot bot.id + bot.token to locals before commit, refresh the
ORM instance after a successful commit so handle_command() can still
use it, and route the remaining call sites through the snapshot
variables.
- Command templates now match notification template style: type icons,
linked filenames via album shared links, location, favorite status
- Media mode sends text message first, then media as reply (was media-only)
- Search/find/person/place resolve asset public URLs from tracked albums'
shared links (share/{key}/photos/{id})
- Albums/summary commands include album public_url in context
- Enriched command template preview sample context with public_url, city,
country, is_favorite
- Extract sanitizePreview to shared lib/sanitize.ts
- Command template preview now renders HTML links (was raw text)
- Global provider filter moved above search in sidebar
- CLAUDE.md: template consistency + context variable sync rules
- Introduce Receiver base class + typed subclasses (TelegramReceiver,
WebhookReceiver, EmailReceiver, etc.) in core/notifications/receiver.py
- Dispatcher uses typed Receiver objects instead of raw dicts, with
per-receiver locale-aware template rendering
- load_link_data resolves locale from TelegramChat.language_override at
load time: TargetReceiver.locale || chat.language_override || chat.language_code
- Add language_override field to TelegramChat (separate from auto-detected
language_code), with per-chat commands toggle and command dispatch using
override language
- Add locale field to TargetReceiver for explicit per-receiver overrides
- Add commands_enabled field to TelegramChat (default off) with
migration, gating command dispatch in both poller and webhook
- Show toggle switch per chat in bot tab for enabling/disabling commands
- Fix listener response to include bot name instead of just type
- Replace listener "Enabled" label + "Edit" link with toggle switch
and crosslink to command-trackers page
Chat language:
- Added language_code field to TelegramChat model + migration
- Saved from message.from.language_code on webhook/polling
- Displayed as badge on bot chat cards and target receiver items
- Resolved from DB in target API response (works for existing receivers)
- Shown in chat picker dropdown (desc includes language)
EntitySelect improvements:
- Tracker-target link selector shows all targets, already-linked ones
appear disabled with "Already linked" hint
- Receiver chat picker shows already-added chats as disabled
Dev scripts:
- scripts/restart-backend.sh and restart-frontend.sh
- Updated .claude/docs/dev-servers.md to reference scripts
- Locale-aware templates: CommandTemplateSlot now has a locale column,
allowing each slot to have per-language variants (EN/RU). Templates
are resolved at runtime from the Telegram user's language_code.
- Merged system configs: "Default Commands (EN)" and "(RU)" merged
into a single "Default Commands" config with locale-aware slots.
Migration handles existing data automatically.
- Configurable command descriptions: hardcoded COMMAND_DESCRIPTIONS
replaced with desc_* template slots (desc_status, desc_help, etc.)
that users can customize per locale. setMyCommands registers all
locales explicitly.
- Removed locale from CommandConfig: no longer needed since locale
is derived from the Telegram user's language at runtime.
- Debounced command auto-sync: after command config/tracker changes,
affected bots are marked dirty and synced after a 30s debounce
window. Manual "Sync with Telegram" button still works.
- Entity pickers in LinkedTargetsSection: replaced 6 plain <select>
elements with EntitySelect components (search, icons, keyboard nav).
Added onselect callback and size="sm" props to EntitySelect.
Adds telegram bot command system with 13 commands (search, latest, random, etc.),
webhook/polling handlers, rate limiting, app settings page, and various UI/UX
improvements across all entity pages.
