The "Manage Bot" button on a bot's profile deep-links to @BotFather with
start=<bot username>. parseBotCommand dropped the argument, so /start <bot>
just replied with the generic greeting instead of the per-bot menu.
Route "/start <arg>" to the bot's "What do you want to do?" screen (same as
/mybots then tapping the bot) when <arg> names one of the sender's own bots by
username or id; empty or unknown args keep the greeting.
New supergroups are created with "chat history for new members" hidden (the
client sets this right after creation, matching official Telegram). The
official server then forces it back to visible when the group is made public;
owpengram's UpdateUsername left the flag alone, leaving public groups in a
state where non-members (and post-join members) see no history at all.
UpdateUsername now clears pre_history_hidden whenever a non-empty username is
assigned, in the same transaction, with a matching admin-log event. Removing
the username leaves the flag untouched, so the creator can hide history again
once the group is private.
cachedParticipants returned a participant page with Hash=0 whenever the
channel_base / channel_participants rows in read_model_versions were never
seeded for a channel (e.g. groups created via messages.createChat). With
Hash=0 the RPC layer can never answer channels.channelParticipantsNotModified,
so a client that polls the member list re-fetches it in a tight loop forever.
Fall back to a deterministic content hash derived from the page itself
(channel id, page key, count, and each member's id/role/status/rank) so an
unchanged member list yields an identical non-zero Hash and the client
converges. The read-model-backed path is unchanged.
- Edit Bot now shows the current value of every field (Name/About/
Description/Botpic/Commands) like BotFather, with real botpic status
via a new PeerHasAvatar port method.
- After editing a field the dialog lands back on a fresh Edit Bot menu
(working "Back to bot" / "Bots list" buttons) instead of ending, so a
follow-up button press no longer reports the button as expired.
- Service-bot messages now render @username as a tappable mention entity.
Button-driven bot management: paginated picker, per-bot API token /
revoke, Edit Bot (name/description/about/commands/botpic), Bot Settings
toggles (inline/groups/privacy), and delete. Navigation edits the menu
message in place via a new editServiceBotMessage helper.
Edit Botpic accepts a photo the user sends to @BotFather and sets it as
the bot's profile photo (new files.SetAvatarFromExistingPhoto, wired
through bots.SetBotUserpic / WithBotAvatarStore); photos.uploadProfilePhoto
does not accept a bot target so this is the only route.
