- #54370: bug(gateway): require_mention gate bypassed when message arrives during active group session
- PR #115252: fix(telegram): drop no-mention group msgs during active session

Most members concern Telegram group messages and mention rules: one reports that the require_mention gate can be bypassed during an active group session, and two propose changes to how active-session messages are filtered. A fourth adds a TELEGRAM_ALLOW_BOTS option (none/mentions/all), which is related but a distinct feature.

## TL;DR
