+"""#64674 — multiplex primary gateway must not fail forever without bot tokens.
+
+When gateway.multiplex_profiles is on and TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN lives only in a
+secondary profile's .env, the default-profile primary adapter used to start
+with an empty token, log "No bot token configured", and queue an infinite
+reconnect loop. Secondary profiles already load under _profile_runtime_scope;
+this suite locks the complementary primary-path fixes:
+
+1. load_gateway_config_for_runner reloads under the default profile secret scope
+   when multiplex is on (so default .env tokens resolve like secondary loads).
+2. Primary startup skips token platforms that still have no credential under
+   multiplex instead of connecting-and-failing forever.
+3. The reconnect watcher drops empty-token queued configs.
