- restores TDLib and Telegram Desktop with the same user account

- starts a mock OpenClaw Telegram SUT from the current checkout

- selects the configured Telegram chat in the visible Linux desktop

- starts desktop recording

- starts a 24fps desktop recording

- writes `.artifacts/qa-e2e/telegram-user-crabbox/pr-review/session.json`

Keep the session alive while investigating. It is valid for the agent to test

for minutes, run several commands, use WebVNC, inspect transcripts, and only

finish once the behavior is understood.

For deterministic visual repros, put the exact mock-model reply in a file and

pass it to `start`:

```bash

pnpm qa:telegram-user:crabbox -- start \

--tdlib-url http://artifacts.openclaw.ai/tdlib-v1.8.0-linux-x64.tgz \

--mock-response-file .artifacts/qa-e2e/telegram-user-crabbox/reply.txt \

--output-dir .artifacts/qa-e2e/telegram-user-crabbox/pr-review

```

The runner defaults to `--class standard`, `--record-fps 24`,

`--preview-fps 24`, and `--preview-width 1280`. Keep those defaults unless the

proof needs something else.

## While Testing

Send as the real Telegram user:

needs logs or JSON output. Never publish credential payloads, local env files,

TDLib databases, Telegram Desktop profiles, or raw session archives.

For before/after proof, run one session on `main` and one on the PR head, then

publish only the intended GIFs from a clean bundle:

```bash

mkdir -p .artifacts/qa-e2e/telegram-user-crabbox/pr-123/comparison

cp <main-output>/telegram-user-crabbox-session-motion.gif \

.artifacts/qa-e2e/telegram-user-crabbox/pr-123/comparison/main-before.gif

cp <pr-output>/telegram-user-crabbox-session-motion.gif \

.artifacts/qa-e2e/telegram-user-crabbox/pr-123/comparison/pr-after.gif

crabbox artifacts publish \

--repo openclaw/openclaw \

--pr 123 \

--dir .artifacts/qa-e2e/telegram-user-crabbox/pr-123/comparison \

--summary 'Telegram before/after proof' \

--no-comment

```

Then post a concise markdown table with those two URLs. Do not publish working

directories that contain screenshots, raw videos, logs, session JSON, or crop

experiments unless those artifacts are explicitly needed.
