Telegram operator — NeedAI Ada

Bot: @NeedAI_Ada_bot (NeedAI Ada)

Token security

• Put TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN in host .env only (services/telegram-bot/.env or root .env).
• Never commit the token to the repo, GitHub Pages build, or docs.
• If a token was pasted in chat, email, or a ticket: revoke immediately in @BotFather → /revoke, then create a new token and update the host .env only.

BotFather

1. Open @BotFather.
2. For a new bot: /newbot. For an existing bot: select NeedAI Ada / @NeedAI_Ada_bot.
3. /setcommands — paste the command list from services/telegram-bot/README.md.
4. Copy token to local .env as TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN.
