Bug Description

Running v0.8.0 on macOS. MiniMax-M2.7 is configured as primary provider via Anthropic endpoint. Short conversational messages work fine via Telegram gateway. Any message that triggers tool use fails with 'Connection error' after ~18 seconds every time. Direct curl to the MiniMax Anthropic endpoint works perfectly and returns 200.

Steps to Reproduce

Configure MiniMax as primary provider (provider=minimax, base_url=https://api.minimax.io/anthropic)
Start gateway with Telegram
Send a short message — works fine
Send any message requiring tool use (e.g. "set up a cron job")
Gateway retries 3 times then fails with Connection error
