The tool execution loop wasn't working because: 1. Only assistant messages were being appended (missing tool results) 2. Cleaned content was stored in log, breaking tool parsing 3. response_parts was reset each iteration Now matches Discord bot behavior: - Append ALL messages from step() to log (including tool results) - Keep original content in log for proper tool parsing - Only clean content for display purposes - Accumulate response_parts across loop iterations
✅ Tool Execution FixedPushed fix in 3bbd738 that addresses the tool execution issue. The ProblemTool calls weren't executing because:
The FixNow matches Discord bot behavior:
The key insight: Discord bot preserves original message content in the log and only cleans it when displaying to users. The Telegram bot was cleaning before storing, which stripped the tool call syntax. |

Log.append() returns a NEW Log instance (immutable), so we must: 1. Capture return: log = log.append(msg) 2. Update conversations dict: conversations[chat_id] = log Without this, messages weren't being accumulated between loop iterations, breaking tool execution entirely.
🔧 Additional Fix: Immutable Log PatternPushed another fix in a14a57c. The Problem
log.append(msg) # Return value discarded!This meant messages weren't accumulating between loop iterations - the log stayed the same size each time, completely breaking tool execution. The Fix# Capture the new Log instance
log = log.append(msg)
# Save back to conversations dict
conversations[chat_id] = logSummary of Both Fixes
Tool execution should now work correctly. The conversation will also persist properly across messages in the same session. |

exc_info expects True or (type, value, traceback) tuple, not the exception instance directly. Fixes traceback not being logged.
✅ All Review Comments Addressed
Additional fix discovered during review
On the async executor: Deferred for now. For single-user bots, blocking during LLM calls is acceptable. The typing indicator won't update mid-generation, but functionality is correct. Can add Ready for merge - tool execution should now work correctly. |

Tool loop can't progress
The while True loop re-runs step(log, ...) when has_runnable is true, but it never actually executes/confirm-runs any tool uses; step is also called without the confirm=lambda _: True used previously. As a result, any assistant tool requests will remain runnable and you can end up in an infinite loop (repeating tool requests) or simply never run tools.
This needs to either (a) pass confirm so step executes tools, or (b) explicitly execute tool uses (like the Discord bot’s async_step pattern), otherwise the loop condition doesn’t lead to progress.

Runnable check misses tool msgs
last_content is taken from the last assistant message only. If tool results are logged as role="tool" (or similar) and the assistant’s final content is empty/unchanged, the runnable-check can be incorrect and keep looping or stop prematurely. The Discord bot checks runnable tools against the evolving current_log and yields all messages; Telegram should mirror that by basing the runnable check on the content that actually contains tool-use blocks (or tracking the last assistant message that included tool calls).

Fixes two issues from PR #269 review: 1. User message not persisted - Log.append() returns a NEW Log (immutable pattern), so must capture: log = log.append(msg) 2. Missing step() parameters that Discord has: - tool_format='markdown' - ensures proper tool parsing - workspace=workspace_root - provides working directory context

Summary
Improvements to the Telegram bot to make it more similar to the Discord bot in functionality and user experience.
Changes
Design Approach
This PR follows the same patterns as the Discord bot:
Known Issues
Tool calls are still broken: While the tool execution loop is implemented, tools may not be executing properly or returning results. This needs further debugging to match the Discord bot's behavior exactly.
Testing

Similar to Discord bot implementation in scripts/discord/discord_bot.py
Important
Enhances Telegram bot with typing indicator, tool execution loop, cleaner output, and improved error handling, aligning it with Discord bot functionality.
