Automated Telegram alerts fail if you skip verifying the entire delivery path. 🚨 Don't rely only on the 'Linked' badge!

Keeping your non-custodial monitoring active demands surgical precision during connection setup. 🛠️

Here’s what you need to know for reliable setup:

1. **Initial Connection:** Complete the setup by connecting Telegram to the WolfBot Community.
2. **Understand Components:** Know the three parts: the Telegram bot token (authorization), the linked chat (destination), and the command listener (command receipt).
3. **Verify Everything:** Always run the 'Send test' action. This confirms both the stored link AND current bot authorization—it’s more reliable than just checking the 'Linked' badge.
4. **Uptime Requirement:** For 24/7 operation, the machine running WolfBot must stay powered on, avoid sleep modes, and maintain outbound HTTPS access to Telegram.
5. **Token Rotation:** When rotating a token, generate the new one via @BotFather, update it in WolfBot, and run 'Send test' to confirm.
6. **New Bot Setup:** If moving to a new bot, save its token, start it in Telegram, create a fresh link code, send `/link`, and *then* revoke the old bot.
7. **Security First:** Treat the bot token with extreme care: never screenshot, commit to Git, or share in logs. Rotate it immediately if exposed! ⚠️
8. **Post-Change Check:** After any major system change (update/network), perform a full health check: confirm the token, check command warnings, verify 'Linked' status, and run 'Send test'.
