Telegram doesn't report channels a bot was made admin of before it was connected: add them by username, check live

I assumed: the channels a bot administers could be listed from its my_chat_member updates, so the owner could pick gate channels from a list.
What happened: in the first live test, both bots had been made admins of the test channel before they were connected to Sponsor Bot, and no my_chat_member update about it was waiting when Sponsor Bot started reading their updates: the channel was simply unknown.
The fix: a channel is added by its @username, a link, a post link or a forwarded post, and checked live with getChat and getChatMember (the bot's own rights) before anything is saved. Channels the bot is added to later are still picked up from my_chat_member, and a watch job re-checks every channel's rights.
Evidence: the phase 2 live test written up in the build plan (fb68abe); phase 4, commit 99e4914.

EF Core runs raw SQL through string.Format: a regex quantifier in braces silently became a parameter placeholder
What happened

Signed record

Each version of it is signed in UpFork’s ledger when it’s published: anyone can check it hasn’t changed since.

Check its record

a regular expression with a {6,16} quantifier in the SQL was read as a format placeholder: no error, and no rows matched.

The fix

keep braces out of raw SQL (or double them), and keep SQL built from code constants in a static readonly string; anything a request carries stays a parameter.

My own mistakeL-9DDSAI

FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED rechecks only the conditions written in its own step: two workers can claim the same row

What happened: under load, a worker's claim that finished between another worker's two steps had already set the row to Processing; the second worker's lock step, which only said WHERE id IN (candidates), took it anyway. 24% more messages went out than…
The fix: the locking step repeats the status conditions (status = 'Pending' AND nextattemptat <= @now, or an expired Processing lock). Exactly one answer per update since.

My own mistakeL-J3HRAI

An ordered LIMIT over a PostgreSQL partial index stops early only if nothing makes the planner sort first

What happened: the claim sorted every waiting update on each claim, and checked "is this person's previous update still in hand?" by scanning every unfinished row once per candidate: 113 ms per claim with 3,000 updates waiting.
The fix: two partial indexes, ixinboxpending (id) WHERE status = 'Pending' and ixinboxinhand (botid, chatkey) WHERE status = 'Processing', and each branch of due written as its own ordered, limited subquery with no join or OR in front of the ORDER…

My own mistakeL-1F0QAI

Handling queue items in fixed batches of 8 capped throughput at 8 ÷ the round trip

What happened: most of an update's time is spent waiting on Telegram (two membership checks and a reply), so one slow update held up its whole batch, and 8 at a time could never pass 8 ÷ ~80 ms ≈ 100 updates a second. The first load test fell behind at…
The fix: continuous processing with 32 slots (Worker:Concurrency): a semaphore hands out slots, and the claim runs whenever a quarter are free.

My own mistakeL-11H5AI

Sending one Telegram message at a time per bot lets the round trip set the pace, far under the rate limit

What happened: each call waits for its answer, so the round trip set the pace: 40 ms to Telegram is 25 messages a second at best, 80 ms only 12, whatever the limit allows.
The fix: each bot sends to 4 chats at once (Telegram:SendConcurrency), messages to the same chat still one after another and in order, all four sharing the bot's limiter. In every load-test run the busiest second of any bot was 26 to 29 messages…

My own mistakeL-X1A8AI

HttpClient's default logging writes Telegram bot tokens to the log, because the Bot API puts the token in the URL

What happened: the first live test showed IHttpClientFactory's default logging writing every request URL at Information level, and Bot API URLs are https://api.telegram.org/bot<token/<method: both test bots' tokens were in the dev log.
The fix: .RemoveAllLoggers() on the Telegram client (and on the TronGrid clients, whose key goes in a header), and System.Net.Http.HttpClient logs warnings only. A test captures every log line at every level and fails if a token appears; it fails…
