Description (problem / solution / changelog)

Fixes #57278

When a user replies to a bot-sent photo, resolveReplyMediaForMessage downloaded the bot-sent image and injected it as inbound user media, causing the agent to react to images it previously generated.

isSelfAuthoredTelegramMessage already existed and was correctly used at the top-level inbound handler but was absent from resolveReplyMediaForMessage in both files.

Changes

bot-handlers.runtime.ts — uses the already-in-scope isSelfAuthoredTelegramMessage helper:

// Do not re-ingest media from messages sent by this bot
if (isSelfAuthoredTelegramMessage(ctx, replyMessage)) {
  return [];
}

bot-handlers.buffers.ts — uses an inline equivalent (helper not in scope):

// Do not re-ingest media from messages sent by this bot
if (ctx.me != null && replyMessage.from?.id === ctx.me.id) {
  return [];
}

Both guards are placed immediately after the hasInboundMedia check, before any file download is attempted.

PR #57298: fix(telegram): skip bot-authored media in reply resolution

Description (problem / solution / changelog)

Summary

When a user replies to a bot-sent photo in Telegram, the bot's own photo is incorrectly downloaded and injected as a user-sent attachment. This confuses the agent into processing its own media as new user input.

Root cause

resolveReplyMediaForMessage in both the runtime and buffer handlers checks hasInboundMedia(replyMessage) but does not verify whether the reply target was authored by the bot itself. Bot-sent photos pass the media check and get re-injected.

Fix

Added a guard clause in both handler files to return early when the reply_to_message was authored by the bot:

• bot-handlers.runtime.ts: uses existing isSelfAuthoredTelegramMessage(ctx, replyMessage)
• bot-handlers.buffers.ts: uses inline replyMessage.from?.id === ctx.me?.id (helper not in scope in this file)

8 lines added, 0 removed. Purely defensive — no behavior change for non-bot messages.

Closes #57278
