* fix(auto-reply): deliver verbose tool summaries in Telegram forum topics Forum topics have ChatType 'group' but are threaded conversations where verbose tool output should be delivered (same as DMs). The shouldSendToolSummaries gate now checks IsForum to allow tool summaries in forum topic sessions. Fixes #43206 * test: add sendToolResult count assertion per review feedback * fix: add changelog for forum topic verbose tool summaries (#43236) (thanks @frankbuild) --------- Co-authored-by: Ayaan Zaidi <hi@obviy.us>

 ### Fixes
 
+- Telegram: deliver verbose tool summaries inside forum topic sessions again, so threaded topic chats now match DM verbose behavior. (#43236) Thanks @frankbuild.
 - Agents/sandbox: honor `tools.sandbox.tools.alsoAllow`, let explicit sandbox re-allows remove matching built-in default-deny tools, and keep sandbox explain/error guidance aligned with the effective sandbox tool policy. (#54492) Thanks @ngutman.
 - Agents/sandbox: make blocked-tool guidance glob-aware again, redact/sanitize session-specific explain hints for safer copy-paste, and avoid leaking control-character session keys in those hints. (#54684) Thanks @ngutman.
 - Feishu: close WebSocket connections on monitor stop/abort so ghost connections no longer persist, preventing duplicate event processing and resource leaks across restart cycles. (#52844) Thanks @schumilin.
