# Phase 33: Telegram Bot Verification - Context

**Gathered:** 2026-03-29
**Status:** Ready for planning
**Mode:** Auto-generated (verification-only gap closure phase)

<domain>
## Phase Boundary

Verify that the Telegram bot implementation (completed in Phase 29 outside GSD) satisfies BOT-10, BOT-11, BOT-12. Produce VERIFICATION.md with evidence. No new code — inspect codebase and verify existing implementation against requirements.

## Implementation Decisions

### Claude's Discretion

All implementation choices are at Claude's discretion — this is a verification-only phase. Inspect the existing codebase for evidence that:

- BOT-10: TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN and TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID are set in the launchd plist (from ~/.claude/.secrets/ccterrybot-telegram)
- BOT-11: Bot connects via long polling and responds to /status within 5 seconds of service start
- BOT-12: Session-end notifications send Arc Summary + Tail Brief to Telegram with rich HTML formatting

</decisions>

## Existing Code Insights

### Key Files to Inspect

- `plugins/claude-tts-companion/Sources/CompanionCore/TelegramBot.swift` — Bot connection and polling
- `plugins/claude-tts-companion/Sources/CompanionCore/CompanionApp.swift` — Bot initialization and credential loading
- `plugins/claude-tts-companion/Sources/CompanionCore/TelegramFormatter.swift` — HTML formatting
- `plugins/claude-tts-companion/Sources/CompanionCore/Config.swift` — Bot credential paths
- LaunchAgent plist for environment variable injection

</code_context>

<specifics>
## Specific Ideas

No specific requirements — verification-only phase. Refer to REQUIREMENTS.md for BOT-10/11/12 acceptance criteria.

</specifics>

<deferred>
## Deferred Ideas

None — verification-only phase.
