When sending media with text exceeding Telegram's 1024 character caption limit, the API returns 'message caption is too long' error. This fix: - Adds TELEGRAM_MAX_CAPTION_LENGTH constant (1024) - Detects when text exceeds the limit while sending media - Sends media first without caption, then sends text as follow-up message - Preserves thread params, reply markup, and HTML parsing in follow-up - Returns the text message ID as the main message ID Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
Address code review feedback: - Follow-up text now uses plain text to match caption behavior (no HTML conversion) - reply_markup (buttons) only appears on follow-up text when splitting, not on the media message - Added tests for reply_markup behavior with split captions Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
