• Find your bot
• Send: Hello bot!
• Verify: Bot responds within 3 seconds

Test 2: Long Message (Split Test)

# Generate a long message
python3 tests/telegram/generate_test_messages.py long

• Copy the output
• Paste into Telegram to your bot
• Verify:
  • Message is split into 2+ chunks
  • First chunk ends with (continues...)
  • Middle chunks have (continued) and (continues...)
  • Last chunk starts with (continued)
  • All chunks arrive in order

Test 3: Word Boundary Splitting

python3 tests/telegram/generate_test_messages.py word

• Send to bot
• Verify: Splits at word boundaries (not mid-word)

🎯 Test Results Checklist

After running all tests, verify:

Automated Tests

• ✅ Build completed successfully
• ✅ Binary size <10MB
• ✅ Health check completes in <5s
• ✅ No clippy warnings

Manual Tests

• ✅ Bot responds to basic messages
• ✅ Long messages split correctly
• ✅ Continuation markers appear
• ✅ Word boundaries respected
• ✅ Allowlist blocks unauthorized users
• ✅ No errors in logs

Performance

• ✅ Response time <3 seconds
• ✅ Memory usage <10MB

🐛 Troubleshooting

Issue: Tests fail to compile

# Clean build
cargo clean
cargo build --release

# Update dependencies
cargo update

Issue: "Bot token not configured"

# Check config
cat ~/.zeroclaw/config.toml | grep -A 5 telegram

# Reconfigure
zeroclaw onboard --channels-only

Issue: Health check fails

# Test bot token directly
curl "https://api.telegram.org/bot<YOUR_TOKEN>/getMe"

# Should return: {"ok":true,"result":{...}}

Issue: Bot doesn't respond

# Enable debug logging
RUST_LOG=debug zeroclaw channel start

# Look for:
# - "Telegram channel listening for messages..."
# - "ignoring message from unauthorized user" (if allowlist issue)
# - Any error messages

📊 Performance Benchmarks

After all fixes, you should see:

Metric	Target	Command
Unit test pass	24/24	cargo test telegram --lib
Build time	<30s	time cargo build --release
Binary size	~3-4MB	ls -lh target/release/zeroclaw
Health check	<5s	time zeroclaw channel doctor
First response	<3s	Manual test in Telegram
Message split	<50ms	Check debug logs
Memory usage	<10MB	ps aux | grep zeroclaw

🔄 CI/CD Integration

Add to your workflow:

# Pre-commit hook
#!/bin/bash
./tests/telegram/quick_test.sh

# CI pipeline
./tests/telegram/test_telegram_integration.sh

📚 Next Steps

1. Run the tests:

   ./tests/telegram/test_telegram_integration.sh

2. Fix any failures using the troubleshooting guide

3. Complete manual tests using the checklist

4. Deploy to production when all tests pass
