Add tguser CLI for sending Telegram messages#150
Conversation
Implements a GramJS-based CLI tool that sends Telegram messages as a real user account (MTProto), required by test-bot.sh for Telegram platform testing. Session is persisted in ~/.tguser/session. https://claude.ai/code/session_01CbMGHLawRiDRhC2euMdR8U

The prompt() helper binds readline to process.stdin/process.stderr; when tguser is invoked by scripts/test-bot.sh (which runs tguser send ... inside command substitution with 2>&1), those streams are captured so phone/code prompts are not visible and first-time login appears to hang. This blocks the documented Telegram test flow for fresh sessions unless users do an out-of-band manual auth step; reading/writing via /dev/tty (or detecting non-interactive mode and failing with guidance) avoids that.

When a saved session exists, the code only calls client.connect() and skips client.start(). If ~/.tguser/session is revoked or corrupted, sends will keep failing with auth errors on every run and the CLI never recovers automatically, forcing users to manually delete the session file. Adding a fallback to interactive auth on connect/auth failure would make this command resilient.

Description
Add a new
tgusercommand-line tool for sending messages via Telegram user accounts. This tool provides a simple interface to authenticate with Telegram and send messages to peers, with session persistence to avoid repeated authentication.The implementation includes:
scripts/tguser.ts) using thetelegramlibraryscripts/tguser) for convenient execution viabun run~/.tguser/sessionType of Change
Testing
TG_API_IDandTG_API_HASHenvironment variablesbun run scripts/tguser send <peer> <message>for initial authenticationChecklist
Additional Notes
The tool requires Telegram API credentials from https://my.telegram.org and uses the
telegramlibrary for client functionality. Session files are stored with restricted permissions (0o600) for security.https://claude.ai/code/session_01CbMGHLawRiDRhC2euMdR8U
