Hey @santosparra651-arch — this PR has 919 changed files, most unrelated to the Telegram Bot bounty. @createkr submitted a cleaner, focused implementation in #1779.

The pattern across your PRs: each one includes hundreds of files from other bounties bundled together. This is diff padding — it inflates the PR size but doesn't help reviewers, and it actually makes it harder for us to find your real work.

The fix is simple:

  1. git checkout main && git pull
  2. git checkout -b my-feature
  3. Add ONLY the files for that one bounty
  4. Submit a clean, focused PR

You clearly have energy for this — channel it into one clean submission and you'll get paid. We're rooting for you! 🔧
