When a user replies to an agent's message in Telegram groups,
it is now treated as a direct mention (SOWA FULL response).
Implementation:
- Detect reply_to_message.from.is_bot in Gateway webhook handler
- Verify bot_id matches this agent's token (multi-agent safe)
- Pass is_reply_to_agent=True to detect_explicit_request() and
analyze_message() (SOWA v2.2)
- Add is_reply_to_agent to Router metadata for analytics
SOWA already had Priority 3 logic for reply_to_agent → FULL,
it was just never wired up (had TODO placeholders with False).
Edge cases handled:
- Only triggers when reply is to THIS agent's bot (not other bots)
- Reply to forwarded messages: won't trigger (from.is_bot would be
the original sender, not the bot)
- Works alongside existing DM, mention, and training group rules
