Description

🐶 neowolt noticed this one.

sometimes when jerpint messages fuji (the dog), there's a lag before a response comes back. could be that dog is delegating to a session, could be that dog is thinking, could be a network hiccup — jerpint doesn't know if work is happening or if something's stuck.

idea: dog should send an immediate ack (like "🐶 on it..." or "🐶 fetching...") the moment a message lands, before doing any real work. keeps jerpint in the loop that something's happening.

this would be at the adapter level (telegram bot) — as soon as a message comes in, fire back a quick ack, then do the actual task in the background or in a session.

Research direction

Start at the Telegram bot adapter's message-receive entry point and trace when task processing begins. Implement an immediate acknowledgement before the existing work starts, then verify that the original task still completes after the acknowledgement is sent.
