feat(telegram): add react_emoji config for incoming messages

The tz parameter was previously only allowed with cron_expr. When users
specified tz with at for one-time tasks, it returned an error. Now tz
works with both cron_expr and at — naive ISO datetimes are interpreted
in the given timezone via ZoneInfo.

- Relax validation: allow tz with cron_expr or at
- Apply ZoneInfo to naive datetimes in the at branch
- Update SKILL.md with at+tz examples
- Add automated tests for tz+at combinations

+# Contributing to nanobot
+
+Thank you for being here.
+
+nanobot is built with a simple belief: good tools should feel calm, clear, and humane.
+We care deeply about useful features, but we also believe in achieving more with less:
+solutions should be powerful without becoming heavy, and ambitious without becoming
+needlessly complicated.
+
+This guide is not only about how to open a PR. It is also about how we hope to build
+software together: with care, clarity, and respect for the next person reading the code.
+
+## Maintainers
+
+| Maintainer | Focus |
+|------------|-------|
+| [@re-bin](https://github.com/re-bin) | Project lead, `main` branch |
+| [@chengyongru](https://github.com/chengyongru) | `nightly` branch, experimental features |
+
+## Branching Strategy
+
+We use a two-branch model to balance stability and exploration:
+
+| Branch | Purpose | Stability |
+|--------|---------|-----------|
+| `main` | Stable releases | Production-ready |
+| `nightly` | Experimental features | May have bugs or breaking changes |
+
+### Which Branch Should I Target?
+
+**Target `nightly` if your PR includes:**
+
+- New features or functionality
+- Refactoring that may affect existing behavior
+- Changes to APIs or configuration
+
+**Target `main` if your PR includes:**
+
+- Bug fixes with no behavior changes
+- Documentation improvements
+- Minor tweaks that don't affect functionality
+
+**When in doubt, target `nightly`.** It is easier to move a stable idea from `nightly`
+to `main` than to undo a risky change after it lands in the stable branch.
+
+### How Does Nightly Get Merged to Main?
+
+We don't merge the entire `nightly` branch. Instead, stable features are **cherry-picked** from `nightly` into individual PRs targeting `main`:
+
+```
+nightly  ──┬── feature A (stable) ──► PR ──► main
+           ├── feature B (testing)
+           └── feature C (stable) ──► PR ──► main
+```
+
+This happens approximately **once a week**, but the timing depends on when features become stable enough.
+
+### Quick Summary
+
+| Your Change | Target Branch |
+|-------------|---------------|
+| New feature | `nightly` |
+| Bug fix | `main` |
+| Documentation | `main` |
+| Refactoring | `nightly` |
+| Unsure | `nightly` |
+
+## Development Setup
+
+Keep setup boring and reliable. The goal is to get you into the code quickly:
+
+```bash
+# Clone the repository
+git clone https://github.com/HKUDS/nanobot.git
+cd nanobot
+
+# Install with dev dependencies
+pip install -e ".[dev]"
+
+# Run tests
+pytest
+
+# Lint code
+ruff check nanobot/
+
+# Format code
+ruff format nanobot/
+```
+
+## Code Style
+
+We care about more than passing lint. We want nanobot to stay small, calm, and readable.
+
+When contributing, please aim for code that feels:
+
+- Simple: prefer the smallest change that solves the real problem
+- Clear: optimize for the next reader, not for cleverness
+- Decoupled: keep boundaries clean and avoid unnecessary new abstractions
+- Honest: do not hide complexity, but do not create extra complexity either
+- Durable: choose solutions that are easy to maintain, test, and extend
+
+In practice:
+
+- Line length: 100 characters (`ruff`)
+- Target: Python 3.11+
+- Linting: `ruff` with rules E, F, I, N, W (E501 ignored)
+- Async: uses `asyncio` throughout; pytest with `asyncio_mode = "auto"`
+- Prefer readable code over magical code
+- Prefer focused patches over broad rewrites
+- If a new abstraction is introduced, it should clearly reduce complexity rather than move it around
+
+## Questions?
+
+If you have questions, ideas, or half-formed insights, you are warmly welcome here.
+
+Please feel free to open an [issue](https://github.com/HKUDS/nanobot/issues), join the community, or simply reach out:
+
+- [Discord](https://discord.gg/MnCvHqpUGB)
+- [Feishu/WeChat](./COMMUNICATION.md)
+- Email: Xubin Ren (@Re-bin) — <xubinrencs@gmail.com>
+
+Thank you for spending your time and care on nanobot. We would love for more people to participate in this community, and we genuinely welcome contributions of all sizes.

+# Channel Plugin Guide
+
+Build a custom nanobot channel in three steps: subclass, package, install.
+
+## How It Works
+
+nanobot discovers channel plugins via Python [entry points](https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/specifications/entry-points/). When `nanobot gateway` starts, it scans:
+
+1. Built-in channels in `nanobot/channels/`
+2. External packages registered under the `nanobot.channels` entry point group
+
+If a matching config section has `"enabled": true`, the channel is instantiated and started.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+We'll build a minimal webhook channel that receives messages via HTTP POST and sends replies back.
+
+### Project Structure
+
+```
+nanobot-channel-webhook/
+├── nanobot_channel_webhook/
+│   ├── __init__.py          # re-export WebhookChannel
+│   └── channel.py           # channel implementation
+└── pyproject.toml
+```
+
+### 1. Create Your Channel
+
+```python
+# nanobot_channel_webhook/__init__.py
+from nanobot_channel_webhook.channel import WebhookChannel
+
+__all__ = ["WebhookChannel"]
+```
+
+```python
+# nanobot_channel_webhook/channel.py
+import asyncio
+from typing import Any
+
+from aiohttp import web
+from loguru import logger
+
+from nanobot.channels.base import BaseChannel
+from nanobot.bus.events import OutboundMessage
+
+
+class WebhookChannel(BaseChannel):
+    name = "webhook"
+    display_name = "Webhook"
+
+    @classmethod
+    def default_config(cls) -> dict[str, Any]:
+        return {"enabled": False, "port": 9000, "allowFrom": []}
+
+    async def start(self) -> None:
+        """Start an HTTP server that listens for incoming messages.
+
+        IMPORTANT: start() must block forever (or until stop() is called).
+        If it returns, the channel is considered dead.
+        """
+        self._running = True
+        port = self.config.get("port", 9000)
+
+        app = web.Application()
+        app.router.add_post("/message", self._on_request)
+        runner = web.AppRunner(app)
+        await runner.setup()
+        site = web.TCPSite(runner, "0.0.0.0", port)
+        await site.start()
+        logger.info("Webhook listening on :{}", port)
+
+        # Block until stopped
+        while self._running:
+            await asyncio.sleep(1)
+
+        await runner.cleanup()
+
+    async def stop(self) -> None:
+        self._running = False
+
+    async def send(self, msg: OutboundMessage) -> None:
+        """Deliver an outbound message.
+
+        msg.content  — markdown text (convert to platform format as needed)
+        msg.media    — list of local file paths to attach
+        msg.chat_id  — the recipient (same chat_id you passed to _handle_message)
+        msg.metadata — may contain "_progress": True for streaming chunks
+        """
+        logger.info("[webhook] -> {}: {}", msg.chat_id, msg.content[:80])
+        # In a real plugin: POST to a callback URL, send via SDK, etc.
+
+    async def _on_request(self, request: web.Request) -> web.Response:
+        """Handle an incoming HTTP POST."""
+        body = await request.json()
+        sender = body.get("sender", "unknown")
+        chat_id = body.get("chat_id", sender)
+        text = body.get("text", "")
+        media = body.get("media", [])       # list of URLs
+
+        # This is the key call: validates allowFrom, then puts the
+        # message onto the bus for the agent to process.
+        await self._handle_message(
+            sender_id=sender,
+            chat_id=chat_id,
+            content=text,
+            media=media,
+        )
+
+        return web.json_response({"ok": True})
+```
+
+### 2. Register the Entry Point
+
+```toml
+# pyproject.toml
+[project]
+name = "nanobot-channel-webhook"
+version = "0.1.0"
+dependencies = ["nanobot", "aiohttp"]
+
+[project.entry-points."nanobot.channels"]
+webhook = "nanobot_channel_webhook:WebhookChannel"
+
+[build-system]
+requires = ["setuptools"]
+build-backend = "setuptools.backends._legacy:_Backend"
+```
+
+The key (`webhook`) becomes the config section name. The value points to your `BaseChannel` subclass.
+
+### 3. Install & Configure
+
+```bash
+pip install -e .
+nanobot plugins list      # verify "Webhook" shows as "plugin"
+nanobot onboard           # auto-adds default config for detected plugins
+```
+
+Edit `~/.nanobot/config.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "channels": {
+    "webhook": {
+      "enabled": true,
+      "port": 9000,
+      "allowFrom": ["*"]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Run & Test
+
+```bash
+nanobot gateway
+```
+
+In another terminal:
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:9000/message \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"sender": "user1", "chat_id": "user1", "text": "Hello!"}'
+```
+
+The agent receives the message and processes it. Replies arrive in your `send()` method.
+
+## BaseChannel API
+
+### Required (abstract)
+
+| Method | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| `async start()` | **Must block forever.** Connect to platform, listen for messages, call `_handle_message()` on each. If this returns, the channel is dead. |
+| `async stop()` | Set `self._running = False` and clean up. Called when gateway shuts down. |
+| `async send(msg: OutboundMessage)` | Deliver an outbound message to the platform. |
+
+### Provided by Base
+
+| Method / Property | Description |
+|-------------------|-------------|
+| `_handle_message(sender_id, chat_id, content, media?, metadata?, session_key?)` | **Call this when you receive a message.** Checks `is_allowed()`, then publishes to the bus. |
+| `is_allowed(sender_id)` | Checks against `config["allowFrom"]`; `"*"` allows all, `[]` denies all. |
+| `default_config()` (classmethod) | Returns default config dict for `nanobot onboard`. Override to declare your fields. |
+| `transcribe_audio(file_path)` | Transcribes audio via Groq Whisper (if configured). |
+| `is_running` | Returns `self._running`. |
+
+### Message Types
+
+```python
+@dataclass
+class OutboundMessage:
+    channel: str        # your channel name
+    chat_id: str        # recipient (same value you passed to _handle_message)
+    content: str        # markdown text — convert to platform format as needed
+    media: list[str]    # local file paths to attach (images, audio, docs)
+    metadata: dict      # may contain: "_progress" (bool) for streaming chunks,
+                        #              "message_id" for reply threading
+```
+
+## Config
+
+Your channel receives config as a plain `dict`. Access fields with `.get()`:
+
+```python
+async def start(self) -> None:
+    port = self.config.get("port", 9000)
+    token = self.config.get("token", "")
+```
+
+`allowFrom` is handled automatically by `_handle_message()` — you don't need to check it yourself.
+
+Override `default_config()` so `nanobot onboard` auto-populates `config.json`:
+
+```python
+@classmethod
+def default_config(cls) -> dict[str, Any]:
+    return {"enabled": False, "port": 9000, "allowFrom": []}
+```
+
+If not overridden, the base class returns `{"enabled": false}`.
+
+## Naming Convention
+
+| What | Format | Example |
+|------|--------|---------|
+| PyPI package | `nanobot-channel-{name}` | `nanobot-channel-webhook` |
+| Entry point key | `{name}` | `webhook` |
+| Config section | `channels.{name}` | `channels.webhook` |
+| Python package | `nanobot_channel_{name}` | `nanobot_channel_webhook` |
+
+## Local Development
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/you/nanobot-channel-webhook
+cd nanobot-channel-webhook
+pip install -e .
+nanobot plugins list    # should show "Webhook" as "plugin"
+nanobot gateway         # test end-to-end
+```
+
+## Verify
+
+```bash
+$ nanobot plugins list
+
+  Name       Source    Enabled
+  telegram   builtin  yes
+  discord    builtin  no
+  webhook    plugin   yes

-## Rules
-1. Stay focused - complete only the assigned task, nothing else
-2. Your final response will be reported back to the main agent
-3. Do not initiate conversations or take on side tasks
-4. Be concise but informative in your findings
-
-## What You Can Do
-- Read and write files in the workspace
-- Execute shell commands
-- Search the web and fetch web pages
-- Complete the task thoroughly
-
-## What You Cannot Do
-- Send messages directly to users (no message tool available)
-- Spawn other subagents
-- Access the main agent's conversation history
+Stay focused on the assigned task. Your final response will be reported back to the main agent.

+
+## Structuring This Skill
+
+[TODO: Choose the structure that best fits this skill's purpose. Common patterns:
+
+**1. Workflow-Based** (best for sequential processes)
+- Works well when there are clear step-by-step procedures
+- Example: DOCX skill with "Workflow Decision Tree" -> "Reading" -> "Creating" -> "Editing"
+- Structure: ## Overview -> ## Workflow Decision Tree -> ## Step 1 -> ## Step 2...
+
+**2. Task-Based** (best for tool collections)
+- Works well when the skill offers different operations/capabilities
+- Example: PDF skill with "Quick Start" -> "Merge PDFs" -> "Split PDFs" -> "Extract Text"
+- Structure: ## Overview -> ## Quick Start -> ## Task Category 1 -> ## Task Category 2...
+
+**3. Reference/Guidelines** (best for standards or specifications)
+- Works well for brand guidelines, coding standards, or requirements
+- Example: Brand styling with "Brand Guidelines" -> "Colors" -> "Typography" -> "Features"
+- Structure: ## Overview -> ## Guidelines -> ## Specifications -> ## Usage...
+
+**4. Capabilities-Based** (best for integrated systems)
+- Works well when the skill provides multiple interrelated features
+- Example: Product Management with "Core Capabilities" -> numbered capability list
+- Structure: ## Overview -> ## Core Capabilities -> ### 1. Feature -> ### 2. Feature...
+
+Patterns can be mixed and matched as needed. Most skills combine patterns (e.g., start with task-based, add workflow for complex operations).
+
+Delete this entire "Structuring This Skill" section when done - it's just guidance.]
+
+## [TODO: Replace with the first main section based on chosen structure]
+
+[TODO: Add content here. See examples in existing skills:
+- Code samples for technical skills
+- Decision trees for complex workflows
+- Concrete examples with realistic user requests

+- PDF skill: `fill_fillable_fields.py`, `extract_form_field_info.py` - utilities for PDF manipulation
+- DOCX skill: `document.py`, `utilities.py` - Python modules for document processing

+# Agent Instructions
+
+You are a helpful AI assistant. Be concise, accurate, and friendly.
+
+## Scheduled Reminders
+
+Before scheduling reminders, check available skills and follow skill guidance first.
+Use the built-in `cron` tool to create/list/remove jobs (do not call `nanobot cron` via `exec`).
+Get USER_ID and CHANNEL from the current session (e.g., `8281248569` and `telegram` from `telegram:8281248569`).
+
+**Do NOT just write reminders to MEMORY.md** — that won't trigger actual notifications.
+
+## Heartbeat Tasks
+
+`HEARTBEAT.md` is checked on the configured heartbeat interval. Use file tools to manage periodic tasks:
+
+- **Add**: `edit_file` to append new tasks
+- **Remove**: `edit_file` to delete completed tasks
+- **Rewrite**: `write_file` to replace all tasks
+
+When the user asks for a recurring/periodic task, update `HEARTBEAT.md` instead of creating a one-time cron reminder.

+# Tool Usage Notes
+
+Tool signatures are provided automatically via function calling.
+This file documents non-obvious constraints and usage patterns.
+
+## exec — Safety Limits
+
+- Commands have a configurable timeout (default 60s)
+- Dangerous commands are blocked (rm -rf, format, dd, shutdown, etc.)
+- Output is truncated at 10,000 characters
+- `restrictToWorkspace` config can limit file access to the workspace
