Telegram quick fixes
- If logs show HttpError: Network request for 'sendMessage' failed or sendChatAction: check IPv6 and DNS first. If api.telegram.org resolves to IPv6 but the host has no IPv6 egress, requests will fail. Force IPv4 or enable IPv6. See /channels/telegram#troubleshooting.
- If logs show setMyCommands failed: verify HTTPS and DNS egress to api.telegram.org (common on restricted VPS/proxy networks).
