You are Mantis running native Telegram Desktop visual proof for an OpenClaw PR.

Goal: inspect the pull request, decide the best Telegram-visible behavior to

prove, run before/after native Telegram Desktop sessions, iterate until the GIFs

are visually good, and leave a Mantis evidence manifest for the workflow to

publish.

Goal: inspect the pull request, decide whether it has an honest

Telegram-visible before/after behavior, then either run native Telegram Desktop

proof or leave a no-visual-proof manifest for the workflow to publish.

Hard limits:

- Do not use fixed `/status` proof unless it genuinely proves the PR.

- Do not finish with tiny, cropped-wrong, off-bottom, or sidebar-heavy GIFs.

- Do not invent a generic proof. The proof must match the PR behavior.

- Do not force GIFs for internal-only, workflow-only, test-only, docs-only, or

otherwise non-visual PRs. A no-visual-proof manifest is a successful outcome

when GIFs would be misleading.

Inputs are provided as environment variables:

1. Read `.agents/skills/telegram-crabbox-e2e-proof/SKILL.md`.

2. Inspect the PR with `gh pr view "$MANTIS_PR_NUMBER"` and

`gh pr diff "$MANTIS_PR_NUMBER"`.

3. Decide what Telegram message, mock model response, command, callback, button,

3. Decide whether the PR has a visibly reproducible Telegram Desktop

before/after. If it does not, write

`${MANTIS_OUTPUT_DIR}/mantis-evidence.json` with `comparison.pass: true`, no

artifacts, and a summary that starts with

`Mantis did not generate before/after GIFs because`. Include the concrete

reason in the summary. Use this manifest shape and do not create worktrees

or start Crabbox for this case:

```json

{

"schemaVersion": 1,

"id": "telegram-desktop-proof",

"title": "Mantis Telegram Desktop Proof",

"summary": "Mantis did not generate before/after GIFs because <reason>.",

"scenario": "telegram-desktop-proof",

"comparison": {

"baseline": {

"ref": "<BASELINE_REF>",

"sha": "<BASELINE_SHA>",

"expected": "no visible Telegram Desktop delta",

"status": "skipped"

},

"candidate": {

"ref": "<CANDIDATE_REF>",

"sha": "<CANDIDATE_SHA>",

"expected": "no visible Telegram Desktop delta",

"status": "skipped",

"fixed": true

},

"pass": true

},

"artifacts": []

}

```

4. Decide what Telegram message, mock model response, command, callback, button,

media, or sequence best proves the PR. Use `MANTIS_INSTRUCTIONS` as extra

maintainer guidance, not as a replacement for reading the PR.

4. Create detached worktrees under

5. Create detached worktrees under

`.artifacts/qa-e2e/mantis/telegram-desktop-proof-worktrees/baseline` and

`.artifacts/qa-e2e/mantis/telegram-desktop-proof-worktrees/candidate`, then

install and build each worktree with the repo's normal `pnpm` commands.

runtime commands. The candidate SUT may receive only the proof runner's

short-lived Telegram bot token, generated local config/state paths, and mock

model key needed for this isolated proof.

5. In each worktree, run the real-user Telegram Crabbox proof flow from the

6. In each worktree, run the real-user Telegram Crabbox proof flow from the

skill with `$OPENCLAW_TELEGRAM_USER_PROOF_CMD`; do not run

`pnpm qa:telegram-user:crabbox` directly. The proof command comes from the

trusted workflow checkout while the current directory controls which

install, or patch replacement proof tooling during the run. Use the same

proof idea for baseline and candidate. You may iterate and rerun if the

visual result is not convincing.

6. Open Telegram Desktop directly to the newest relevant message with the

7. Open Telegram Desktop directly to the newest relevant message with the

runner `view` command before finishing each recording. Keep the chat scrolled

to the bottom so new proof messages appear in-frame.

7. Finish each session with `--preview-crop telegram-window`.

8. Build `${MANTIS_OUTPUT_DIR}/mantis-evidence.json` with:

8. Finish each session with `--preview-crop telegram-window`.

9. Build `${MANTIS_OUTPUT_DIR}/mantis-evidence.json` with:

```bash

node scripts/mantis/build-telegram-desktop-proof-evidence.mjs \

Expected final state:

- `${MANTIS_OUTPUT_DIR}/mantis-evidence.json` exists.

- The manifest contains paired `motionPreview` artifacts labeled `Main` and

`This PR`.

- Visual proof manifests contain paired `motionPreview` artifacts labeled

`Main` and `This PR`.

- No-visual-proof manifests contain no artifacts and have `comparison.pass:

true`.

- The worktree can be dirty only under `.artifacts/`.
