Description

When using Telegram channel with streamMode: partial or streamMode: block, outgoing messages appear as "edited" instead of new messages. This causes issues:

1. When multiple messages are sent in quick succession, they appear as a single message being edited multiple times
2. Users cannot see the full message history because earlier messages get overwritten
3. The behavior is confusing since edited messages don't trigger notifications in Telegram

Expected Behavior

Messages should be delivered as new messages, not edited versions of previous messages.

Current Workaround

Setting streamMode: off in channel config works around the issue.

Environment

• OpenClaw Version: 2.14 / 2.15
• Telegram channel
