What's Wrong?

Description:

When a permission request is sent to Telegram and the user doesn't reply within the 60-second timeout, the system correctly falls back to the local IDE confirmation dialog. However, if the user then replies to the Telegram message (e.g. okkk to add to global allowlist) after the timeout has already occurred, the reply is silently discarded — the allowlist is never updated and no feedback is given to the user.

Steps to reproduce:

A permission prompt is sent to Telegram
Do not reply within 60 seconds — local IDE dialog appears
After the IDE dialog appears, reply okkk in Telegram
Approve the action in the local IDE dialog
Expected behavior: Either (a) the late Telegram reply is still processed to update the allowlist, or (b) the user receives a feedback message in Telegram indicating the reply arrived too late and the allowlist was not updated.

Actual behavior: The okkk reply is silently ignored. The action is allowed once via the local IDE dialog, but the global allowlist is not updated. The user has no indication that their allowlist intent was not applied.

Root cause (suspected): After the 60s timeout, the Telegram handler stops listening for replies on that message. Late-arriving replies have no consumer and are dropped without any error or notification.

What Should Happen?

Either (a) the late Telegram reply is still processed to update the allowlist, or (b) the user receives a feedback message in Telegram indicating the reply arrived too late and the allowlist was not updated.
