# Phase 17: Telegram Bot & Scheduled Scanning - Context **Gathered:** 2026-04-06 **Status:** Ready for planning **Mode:** Auto-generated ## Phase Boundary Two capabilities: 1. **Telegram Bot** — Long-polling bot using telego v1.8.0. Commands: /scan, /verify, /recon, /status, /stats, /providers, /help, /key, /subscribe. Runs via `keyhunter serve --telegram`. Private chat only. Keys always masked except `/key ` which sends full detail. 2. **Scheduled Scanning** — Cron-based recurring scans using gocron v2.19.1. Stored in SQLite. CLI: `keyhunter schedule add/list/remove`. Jobs persist across restarts. New findings trigger Telegram notification to subscribers. ## Implementation Decisions ### Telegram Bot (TELE-01..07) - **Library**: `github.com/mymmrac/telego` v1.8.0 (already in go.mod from Phase 1 dep planning) - **Package**: `pkg/bot/` - `bot.go` — Bot struct, Start/Stop, command registration - `handlers.go` — command handlers for /scan, /verify, /recon, /status, /stats, /providers, /help, /key - `subscribe.go` — /subscribe handler + subscriber storage (SQLite table) - `notify.go` — notification dispatcher (send findings to all subscribers) - **Long polling**: Use `telego.WithLongPolling` option - **Auth**: Bot token from config `telegram.token`; restrict to allowed chat IDs from `telegram.allowed_chats` (array, empty = allow all) - **Message formatting**: Use Telegram MarkdownV2 for rich output - **Key masking**: ALL output masks keys. `/key ` sends full key only to the requesting user's DM (never group chat) - **Command routing**: Register each command handler via `bot.Handle("/scan", scanHandler)` etc. ### Scheduled Scanning (SCHED-01..03) - **Library**: `github.com/go-co-op/gocron/v2` v2.19.1 (already in go.mod) - **Package**: `pkg/scheduler/` - `scheduler.go` — Scheduler struct wrapping gocron with SQLite persistence - `jobs.go` — Job struct + CRUD in SQLite `scheduled_jobs` table - **Storage**: `scheduled_jobs` table: id, name, cron_expr, scan_command, notify_telegram, created_at, last_run, next_run, enabled - **Persistence**: On startup, load all enabled jobs from DB and register with gocron - **Notification**: On job completion with new findings, call `pkg/bot/notify.go` to push to subscribers - **CLI commands**: Replace `schedule` stub in cmd/stubs.go with: - `keyhunter schedule add --name=X --cron="..." --scan= [--notify=telegram]` - `keyhunter schedule list` - `keyhunter schedule remove ` - `keyhunter schedule run ` (manual trigger) ### Integration: serve command - `keyhunter serve [--telegram] [--port=8080]` - If `--telegram`: start bot in goroutine, start scheduler, block until signal - If no `--telegram`: start scheduler + web server only (Phase 18) - Replace `serve` stub in cmd/stubs.go ### New SQLite Tables ```sql CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS subscribers ( chat_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, username TEXT, subscribed_at DATETIME DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ); CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS scheduled_jobs ( id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, name TEXT UNIQUE NOT NULL, cron_expr TEXT NOT NULL, scan_command TEXT NOT NULL, notify_telegram BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE, enabled BOOLEAN DEFAULT TRUE, last_run DATETIME, next_run DATETIME, created_at DATETIME DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ); ``` ### Dependencies - `github.com/mymmrac/telego` — already indirect in go.mod, promote to direct - `github.com/go-co-op/gocron/v2` — already indirect, promote to direct ## Existing Code Insights ### Reusable Assets - pkg/engine/ — engine.Scan() for bot /scan command - pkg/verify/ — verifier for bot /verify command - pkg/recon/ — Engine.SweepAll() for bot /recon command - pkg/storage/ — DB for findings, settings - pkg/output/ — formatters for bot message rendering - cmd/stubs.go — serve, schedule stubs to replace - cmd/scan.go — openDBWithKey() helper to reuse ### Key Integration Points - Bot handlers call the same packages as CLI commands - Scheduler wraps the same scan logic but triggered by cron - Notification bridges scheduler → bot subscribers ## Specific Ideas - /status should show: total findings, last scan time, active scheduled jobs, bot uptime - /stats should show: findings by provider, top 10 providers, findings last 24h - Bot should rate-limit commands per user (1 scan per 60s) - Schedule jobs should log last_run and next_run for monitoring ## Deferred Ideas - Webhook notifications (Slack, Discord) — separate from Telegram - Inline query mode for Telegram — out of scope - Multi-bot instances — out of scope - Job output history (keep last N results) — defer to v2
