maint: final follow-up cherry-pick #9810 (#9906)

* fix(deps): bump transitive deps for 6 Dependabot + remaining audit vulns on main

Same overrides as #9464 (ip-address, hono, fast-uri, socket.io-parser, undici)
applied directly to main. Also covers brace-expansion (scoped), js-yaml v4 copies,
and mermaid.

npm audit: 6→0 vulnerabilities.
Closes Dependabot #161-#166.

* fix(deps): bump nanoid, dompurify for 2 new Dependabot alerts (#189, #190)

Bumps: nanoid ^3.3.17 (was transitive, now overridden), dompurify ^3.4.13
(with monaco-editor scoped override). Closes Dependabot #189, #190.

Remaining #182-#188 (js-yaml + mermaid) already closed by #9651 merge —
awaiting Dependabot re-scan.

npm audit → 0 vulnerabilities.

* fix(repo): harden .gitignore to also ignore a _tasks symlink (/_tasks)

_tasks is a SEPARATE nested git repo (gitignored). The pattern _tasks/ (trailing
slash) ignores only a directory, not a SYMLINK named _tasks. A self-referential
_tasks symlink can slip in via git add -A and, once pulled, checkout materializes
it over the real _tasks repo (destroying plans/specs/hands-off). Anchored /_tasks
ignores the symlink too, preventing re-capture.

* docs(proposals): Telegram Mini App integration feasibility analysis

Assess adding a Telegram Mini App chat surface to OmniRoute. Verifies
against current main (918fba5e3) what exists (outbound telegram webhook
integration, bot-token validation + encryption gate) and what is missing
(inbound Bot API listener, WebApp initData HMAC verification, mini app
hosting, per-user API key mapping).

Concludes: feasible with moderate effort (2-4 dev-days for a working
slice). Identifies constraints (public HTTPS webhook, no native
streaming to Telegram, server-side initData trust, encryption gate) and
a phased next-steps plan (spike, minimal chat slice, hardening).

# Telegram Mini App Integration — Feasibility Analysis
**Status: FEASIBLE with moderate effort (estimated 24 dev-days for a working slice)**
## 1. What "Telegram Mini App" means here
A Telegram Mini App is an iframe-hosted web app opened inside Telegram (via
inline buttons / bot menu buttons) that talks to a bot backend through the
[Telegram WebApp SDK](https://core.telegram.org/bots/webapps). For OmniRoute
the natural shape is:
- **Bot backend** (new): receives Telegram updates (webhook), validates the
Mini App's `initData` signature, and proxies chat requests to OmniRoute's
existing OpenAI-compatible `/v1/chat/completions` surface.
- **Mini App frontend** (new): a small chat UI served by OmniRoute (Next.js
route or `public/` static bundle), using the Telegram WebApp JS SDK.
## 2. Current state of the codebase (verified against `main` @ 918fba5e3)
### Already present — outbound notifications only
| Piece | Location | What it does |
| ---------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Telegram webhook integration | `src/lib/webhooks/integrations/telegram.ts` | Builds `sendMessage` payloads for **outbound** gateway events (model, provider, latency, error) |
| Webhook dispatcher | `src/lib/webhookDispatcher.ts` | Routes by kind; decrypts `botToken` from DB metadata for telegram |
| Webhook kinds | `src/lib/db/webhooks.ts` | `slack \| telegram \| discord \| custom` |
| Webhook CRUD + test | `src/app/api/webhooks/*` | Create/update/test; telegram kind skips `url` (uses bot token + chat_id) |
| Bot token validation | `telegram.ts:18` | `BOT_TOKEN_RE = /^\d+:[A-Za-z0-9_-]{35,}$/` |
| Encryption requirement | `webhooks/route.ts:77` | Telegram webhooks require DB encryption enabled (bot tokens stored at rest) |
### Missing — what a Mini App needs that does not exist yet
| Gap | Detail |
| -------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Inbound Bot API listener** | No `setWebhook` registration, no `/bot<token>/getUpdates` polling, no update handling anywhere. Only the `sendMessage` direction exists. |
| **WebApp `initData` validation** | No HMAC-SHA256 check of `initData` against the bot token (`WebAppData` hash validation from the Bot API docs). |
| **Telegram bot library** | `package.json` has no `telegraf`/`grammy`/`telegram-bot-api` dependency. Would need to add one or hand-roll the (small) HMAC + fetch logic. |
| **Mini App hosting surface** | `public/` exists (static assets) and Next.js routes exist; no `/miniapp` route or static bundle yet. |
| **Session → API key mapping** | Mini App users need to authenticate to `/v1/chat/completions`. Two options: per-user generated OmniRoute API keys (via `src/lib/db/apiKeys`) or a bot-side proxy that injects a shared key. |
## 3. Constraints
### 3.1 Architectural
- **No existing inbound-bot layer.** The webhook system is strictly
event→outbound. A Mini App needs a _new_ Bot API webhook endpoint
(`POST /api/telegram/webhook/<botToken-prefix>` or a dedicated route) plus
update dispatch. This is additive — no conflicts with the existing
`webhooks/` subsystem, but the two must not share the `botToken` storage
semantics blindly (webhooks store bot tokens for _outbound_; the Mini App
needs the same token for _inbound_ signature checks — same token, new use).
- **Public HTTPS required.** Telegram only delivers updates to an HTTPS
endpoint with a valid cert. Self-hosted OmniRoute behind Tailscale/ngrok
needs a public tunnel or Cloudflare Tunnel for the webhook path
(`TELEGRAM_WEBHOOK_URL`-style env). The dashboard can render the current
public origin (`OMNIROUTE_PUBLIC_BASE_URL`) but no webhook registration
helper exists.
- **Encryption gate.** `webhooks/route.ts:77` already refuses telegram
kinds without DB encryption. The Mini App bot token has the same
sensitivity (it _is_ the HMAC secret for initData validation) — same gate
applies, which is a _good_ constraint (no plaintext tokens).
### 3.2 Telegram platform
- **initData is the only trust anchor.** Mini App auth = verify
`hash` field of `initData` using HMAC-SHA256(key = SHA256(bot_token),
data = sorted `key=value` pairs minus `hash`). Must be implemented
server-side; never trust the client.
- **No inbound push to arbitrary users.** Telegram bots cannot initiate
conversations. The Mini App works for users who _already_ have the bot —
or you add a `/start` command handler + deep-link (`t.me/bot?startapp=`).
- **Rate limits.** Bot API ~30 msg/s per bot, 20 msg/min per chat group.
Chat responses via `sendMessage`/`answerWebAppQuery` are fine at gateway
scale, but streaming must be emulated (send progressive edits or chunked
messages) — no native SSE into Telegram.
- **WebApp SDK quirks.** `Telegram.WebApp.ready()` must be called; theme
params come from the SDK; the mini app is sandboxed iframe (no
`window.open` to external, clipboard limited). For a chat UI this is fine.
### 3.3 Security / policy
- **Per-user key issuance is the clean model.** Rather than exposing the
admin's own API keys, mint a scoped OmniRoute API key per Telegram user
(`apiKeys` table + `isModelAllowedForKey` policy), or proxy with a single
gateway key and map `user_id` → account. Recommendation: per-user keys so
existing rate-limit / model-allowlist / policy code applies unchanged.
- **initData expiry.** `auth_date` in initData must be checked (Telegram
recommends < 24h; short TTLs for chat flows).
- **Secret handling.** Bot token must stay in the encrypted DB / env —
mirror the existing `isEncryptionEnabled()` gate.
## 4. Required next steps (implementation plan)
### Phase 0 — Spike (½1 dev-day)
1. Add `grammy` or `telegraf` (or ~60 lines of hand-rolled HMAC + fetch).
2. Implement `src/lib/telegram/initData.ts``verifyInitData(initData, botToken)`.
3. Stand up a throwaway `POST /api/telegram/miniapp/webhook` route behind
`TELEGRAM_WEBHOOK_SECRET`; register via `setWebhook` once, locally.
### Phase 1 — Minimal chat slice (12 dev-days)
1. **Webhook endpoint** `POST /api/telegram/bot/update` (or
`/api/telegram/miniapp/update`): parse Update, verify initData, dispatch.
2. **Command handler**: `/start` → reply with deep link
`https://t.me/<bot>?startapp=<userKey>`; `startapp` param carries a
one-time token that maps to a generated OmniRoute API key.
3. **Chat proxy**: map `initData.user.id` → API key → call
`handleChat` (same path as `/v1/chat/completions`) → reply via
`sendMessage` (non-stream) or chunked edits (fake streaming).
4. **Mini App page**: `src/app/(dashboard)/miniapp/page.tsx` (or static
bundle in `public/miniapp/`) — Telegram WebApp SDK init + minimal chat
UI posting to the bot webhook.
5. **Config**: `TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN` env (or reuse webhook metadata),
`OMNIROUTE_PUBLIC_BASE_URL` for webhook URL display; doc in
`.env.example` + `ENVIRONMENT.md` (env-doc-sync check).
### Phase 2 — Production hardening (1 dev-day)
- Streaming emulation (message edits), error/backpressure mapping to Bot API
limits, per-user key revocation (`/logout` command → revoke API key),
usage/rate-limit surfacing (reuse `enforceApiKeyPolicy`), webhook
registration helper in dashboard settings, i18n for the mini app UI.
## 5. Verdict
**Feasible.** The gateway already exposes the exact API a Mini App chat
needs (`/v1/chat/completions` with per-key policy), and the outbound
Telegram webhook shows the team already handles bot tokens safely
(encryption gate + token format validation). The genuinely new surface is
small: an inbound update webhook + initData HMAC verification + a thin
chat proxy + a static Mini App page. No changes to the core SSE/relay
pipeline are required.
**Primary risks:** (1) public HTTPS requirement for the webhook (tunnel
needed on self-hosted installs), (2) no native streaming to Telegram
(UX tradeoff), (3) initData trust must be strictly server-side.
