hermes - 💡(How to fix) Fix Feature request: Configurable Telegram bot command menu order

Problem

The Telegram bot command menu order is hardcoded in hermes_cli/commands.py via _TELEGRAM_MENU_PRIORITY. Users cannot customize which commands appear first in the slash-command hint menu without editing source code.

Use Case

My most-used workflow commands (/background, /steer, /queue) are buried mid-menu. I want them at the top. The only option today is patching the source, which gets overwritten on every hermes update.

Current Workaround

I wrote a script that calls the Telegram Bot API setMyCommands directly after gateway startup to override the order. It works but is fragile:

• Fetches commands via getMyCommands
• Reorders them client-side
• Pushes back via setMyCommands
• Needs a cron job to reapply after updates/restarts

Proposed Solution

A config option in config.yaml:

telegram: menu_priority: - background - steer - queue - help - new

Commands in the list get ordered first; unlisted commands fall back to alphabetical after the explicit entries. This mirrors how _TELEGRAM_MENU_PRIORITY already works internally.

Alternatives Considered

• Source patch: fragile, root-required, wiped on update
• Bot API hack (current): works but adds latency and maintenance overhead
• Plugin hook: overkill for a config value

The config approach is minimal, backward-compatible (empty list = stock behavior), and consistent with how other Hermes features are configured.
