Wizard Telegram Bot Cutover

Purpose: Finish the last mile for Ezra and Bezalel entering the Timmy Time Telegram group as distinct bots.

Current truth

Done:

• Ezra house exists on 143.198.27.163
• Bezalel house exists on 67.205.155.108
• both Hermes API health endpoints answered locally
• Timmy Time Telegram home channel is known:
  • group id: -1003664764329
  • name: Timmy Time

Blocked:

• new bot creation still requires BotFather through Alexander's real Telegram user session
• there is no console-provable BotFather automation path available from the harness yet
