See workflow files for full documentation.

Dialog Cache

Dialog cache (~/.cybos/telegram/dialog-cache.json) stores all dialog IDs with access hashes for fast lookups:

Populated automatically during searches
Used by telegram-save-drafts.ts to avoid fetching all dialogs
~1 second draft save vs ~90 seconds without cache

Username Resolution

save-telegram-draft.ts uses fast contacts.ResolveUsername API for @handles — resolves any Telegram user/channel instantly without scanning dialogs. Falls back to searching recent dialogs (top 200) for name-based lookups.

Safety

Drafts only - never sends messages automatically. User reviews and sends manually in Telegram.
