Summary

Add a disableAudioPreflight configuration option for Telegram groups and topics.

Currently, OpenClaw automatically transcribes voice notes in groups where a mention is required to detect if the bot was addressed. This can lead to unintended API costs in busy groups. This PR allows bot owners to opt-out of this behavior.

Changes

• Configuration: Added disableAudioPreflight?: boolean to TelegramTopicConfig and TelegramGroupConfig in src/config/types.telegram.ts.
• Logic: Updated buildTelegramMessageContext in src/telegram/bot-message-context.ts to skip preflight transcription if disableAudioPreflight is set to true.
• Tests: Added a unit test in src/telegram/bot-message-context.audio-transcript.test.ts to verify that transcription is skipped when the flag is enabled.

Verification

• Ran pnpm test src/telegram/bot-message-context.audio-transcript.test.ts - PASS
• Verified that transcribeFirstAudio is not called when the config is active.
