# Telegram Admin Troubleshooting

Use this file when Telegram appears configured but Clawdie does not respond.

## Common failure signatures

### `getUpdates` returns empty while bot is running

Likely cause:
- the running process is already consuming updates

### Chat exists in `chats` table but `groups --list` used to show nothing

Known fix:
- current code now lists chats from the actual `chats` table

### Bot shows `Typing...` but no reply

Likely cause:
- downstream Warden/jail failure
- check `npm run doctor`
- check `logs/clawdie.log`
