I read this as mapping Telegram precedence and startup wiring plus test seams - I’ll pinpoint the env/profile/telegram entry points, then line up the existing tests and the missing red cases.


I’ve got the main hotspots; now I’m narrowing to exact lines and current tests around the Telegram path, env precedence, and profile package resolution.


I’ve got enough to read the core implementations now; I’m pulling the decisive line ranges for precedence, gating, menu assembly, and profile-package validation.


I’ve isolated the startup/menu/membership seams; I’m now pulling the exact test files that already cover the command menu and Telegram gate behavior so I can call out what’s missing.

WORKING

Current flow:
- Env precedence is `~/.hermes/.env` first, project `.env` as fallback, managed `.env` last and overriding, then Bitwarden/external secrets; gateway reload preserves config authority.
- Telegram startup is: token lock -> PTB build/init -> diagnostic bot identity pin -> staff membership readiness gate -> app start -> menu registration -> forum-topic lazy registration.
- Membership gate is strict: bot must be admin in every staff membership chat; customer must be absent from every staff chat and cannot overlap a private staff DM.
- Topic mode is opt-in only: `/topic` is the explicit migration boundary that creates topic tables/bindings.
- Profile package loading is guarded twice: bootstrap registration rejects non-profile-local `checkin_cli`, and runtime rejects onboarding modules outside the configured profile root.

Current gaps:
- No coverage for startup failing closed when Telegram bot identity is wrong.
- No unit coverage for `verify_subscription_readiness()` / `observe_customer_absence()` failure paths.
- No collision test for a shadowed `checkin_cli`/package-root mismatch.
- No connect-level test that the startup menu wiring registers the exact menu to default/private/group scopes.
- No managed-scope `.env` override test yet, even though the loader supports it.

Smallest fix boundaries:
- `hermes_cli/env_loader.py` for precedence semantics.
- `gateway/platforms/telegram.py` for startup wiring only.
- `gateway/platforms/telegram_staff_membership_gate.py` for gates/evidence only.
- `gateway/platforms/telegram_customer_bootstrap_registration.py` and `gateway/platforms/telegram_nutrition_onboarding_runtime.py` for profile-package locality only.
- `hermes_cli/commands.py` for menu assembly drift only.

Exact RED tests to add or pin:
- `tests/gateway/test_telegram_conflict.py::test_connect_rejects_wrong_bot_identity_before_subscription` - fake bot identity should fail before staff subscription arms.
- `tests/gateway/test_telegram_staff_membership_gate.py::test_verify_subscription_readiness_rejects_non_admin_bot` - bot `get_chat_member()` returns non-admin status.
- `tests/gateway/test_telegram_staff_membership_gate.py::test_observe_customer_absence_rejects_topic_overlap` - customer appears in a staff chat or overlaps a private staff DM.
- `tests/hermes_cli/test_env_loader.py::test_managed_env_overrides_user_and_project_env` - managed `.env` beats user/project/shell.
- `tests/gateway/test_telegram_customer_bootstrap_registration.py::test_profile_modules_rejects_site_packages_shadowing` - imported `checkin_cli` from outside `DUALCOACH_PROFILE_PACKAGE` is rejected.
- `tests/gateway/test_telegram_connect.py::test_connect_registers_exact_menu_for_all_scopes_and_forum_scope` - menu registration uses `telegram_menu_commands()` output for default/private/group and forum scope.
- `tests/hermes_cli/test_commands.py::test_telegram_menu_drift_snapshot` - assert the capped menu still contains the operational built-ins and ordered priority set.

Existing tests that already cover adjacent behavior:
- env precedence: `tests/hermes_cli/test_env_loader.py:8,22,54,89`
- menu cap/filters: `tests/hermes_cli/test_commands.py:1126,1133,1157,1183,1224,1291,1325`
- forum lazy registration: `tests/gateway/test_telegram_forum_commands.py:34,42,51,88,104`
- group mention gate: `tests/gateway/test_telegram_group_gating.py:875`
- token lock: `tests/gateway/test_telegram_conflict.py:51`
- profile env resolution: `tests/hermes_cli/test_profiles.py:694,700,705,709`
