telegram-echo

Replies to every message your Telegram bot gets (docs/spec.md §3.13).

1. In Telegram, message @BotFather, send /newbot, and copy the token.
2. bun pipo ui, open 🤖 Bots, add a bot named main with that token.
3. bun pipo start examples/telegram-echo/telegram-echo.pipo, then message the bot. The first message is ignored: the log (bun pipo logs telegram-echo) names your chat id.
4. Add that id to the bot's Allow list, restart the pipeline, and message it again.
