Problem
When using Claude Code primarily through the Telegram MCP plugin, tool permission prompts are only displayed in the local terminal — they never reach the Telegram chat. This means a user interacting solely via Telegram has no way to approve or deny tool calls that require permission.
Reproduction
- Start a Claude Code session with the Telegram MCP plugin active
- From Telegram, ask Claude to run a command that requires permission (e.g., a Python script)
- Claude Code shows the permission prompt in the terminal
- The Telegram user sees nothing — the request silently stalls or times out
Expected behavior
When a permission prompt is triggered during a Telegram-initiated interaction, the user should be notified in Telegram that a tool call is awaiting approval, ideally with the ability to approve/deny from there.
Impact
This effectively breaks the remote/mobile workflow. If the user isn't at their terminal, any non-auto-approved tool call becomes a dead end.
