Summary

• skip stale restart auto-resumes when the transcript already has a terminal assistant response or is outside the freshness window
• resolve Telegram DM topic bindings before startup auto-resume loads transcript history, so recovery uses the session the topic will actually route to
• skip empty bound Telegram DM topic sessions instead of synthesizing a blank internal turn and clear their stale resume_pending marker
• preserve resume_pending metadata when Telegram topic binding resolution switches the session entry before the recovery turn
• preserve the latest Telegram DM topic reply anchor for startup auto-resume and shutdown notices
• avoid running post-turn goal continuations after provider/auth/rate-limit failure responses
