What add-telegram does
Adds Telegram bot support via the Chat SDK bridge. NanoClaw doesn't ship channels in trunk — this skill copies the Telegram adapter, its pairing helper, and their tests in from the `channels` branch. The `pair-telegram` setup step is maintained in trunk, so it is not copied here.
