Telegram Intel

The Telegram Intel panel (internal id telegram-intel) mirrors a curated set of open-source Telegram channels into the dashboard: topic-tabbed, freshness-aware, and relay-status-aware so the panel can distinguish "no recent traffic" from "relay unavailable".

What the panel shows

A row of topic tabs at the top with a feed list below:

• Topic tabs — tabs derived from TELEGRAM_TOPICS in src/services/telegram-intel. The default tab is all.
• Feed items — TelegramItem[] for the active topic, each showing channel, message timestamp, and message body (with sanitizeUrl applied to any links).
• Live distinction — items newer than 10 minutes (LIVE_THRESHOLD_MS = 600_000) are flagged as live.
• Relay state — when the Telegram relay isn't reachable (relayEnabled = false), the panel indicates degraded mode rather than showing an empty list.

Panel id is telegram-intel; canonical component is src/components/TelegramIntelPanel.ts. Title from i18n (panels.telegramIntel); config name: "Telegram Intel". Default row span is 2 — the panel is dense.

How you reach it

• Cmd+K: type telegram.
• Availability by variant: registered and enabled by default in the full/geopolitical variant only (priority: 2). The full-variant registration layers premium: 'locked' on desktop (_desktop && { premium: 'locked' as const }), so the panel is free on web and PRO-locked on desktop. Not present in the tech, finance, commodity, or happy variants. Source: 'telegram-intel' in FULL_PANELS of src/config/panels.ts.

Data sources

• @/services/telegram-intel — backed by /api/telegram-feed which proxies to a Railway relay that pulls the curated channel set. Channel coverage is curated rather than user-configurable.

Backed by endpoints

Surface	Endpoint	Notes
Panel relay path	GET /api/telegram-feed	Current browser path for the topic-tabbed feed.
Generated service RPC	GET /api/intelligence/v1/list-telegram-feed	Direct IntelligenceService RPC with topic, channel, and limit query parameters; fetches the same Railway relay.

Refresh cadence

Driven by the relay's poll cycle; the panel reads on mount and on relevant external refresh triggers.

Tier & gating

Free on web; PRO-locked on desktop. Registered without premium on the web path; the desktop variant spreads premium: 'locked' via the _desktop && clause.
