Problem

When a user sends an image via Telegram and the media fetch fails, the error is only logged server-side. The user receives no response at all.

Log

[telegram] handler failed: MediaFetchError: Failed to fetch media from https://api.telegram.org/file/bot.../photos/file_X.jpg: TypeError: fetch failed

Expected behavior

• Send user an ack like "Failed to process image" on error
• Or pass the error to Claude so it can respond appropriately

Notes

• Same URL downloads fine via curl (123KB file)
• Likely a Node.js fetch issue (timeout or network config)
