## TL;DR

- 4 member(s): 0 open issue(s), 2 closed issue(s), 0 open PR(s), 1 merged PR(s), 1 PR(s) closed without merging.

- **Recommended:** read PR #1422 (and any competing PRs below) before filing. Confirm the merged change covers your symptom.

## Maintainer resolution verdict

- Internal-tracker verdict over this cluster's issue members: `unresolved`. This is distinct from the fix status above. Weigh it yourself.

## How this cluster was grouped

- Link evidence (`STRUCTURAL_PARTIAL`): some members are connected by structural evidence (shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference); the rest are joined by an automated relevance judgement over their text.
- Members outside that structural core may belong to a different underlying problem.
- Pairwise link density `0.39`: the share of member pairs that carry a link, counting a structural link in full and a relevance-only link at 0.36. `1.00` means every pair is linked.

## Closed / duplicate issues

- #1409: Telegram photo bursts can interrupt active runs with 'Operation interrupted: waiting for model response'
- #46100: \[Bug\]: Telegram batch/media-group attachments can split across turns
