v3.1.0 - Self-contained Telegram Sending (2026-06-06)

Critical reliability fix — script now sends Telegram directly, no LLM relay needed.

Changes

• notify sends Telegram directly: Script calls Telegram Bot API itself, no LLM relay
• Atomic seen marking: Only marks video as seen AFTER successful Telegram send
• Auto-retry on failure: Failed sends stay "unseen", next cron cycle retries automatically
• Reads bot token from ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json: No extra config needed
• Fallback mode: If bot token unavailable, falls back to stdout output for LLM relay

Bug fix

• v3.0.0 had a critical bug: notify marked videos as seen immediately upon detection, but Telegram sending was done by LLM. If LLM failed (rate limit/timeout), videos were lost forever — marked as seen but never sent. v3.1.0 fixes this completely.
