      "Title": "Master daemon never recovers from a dropped MTProto connection — all tool calls fail with 'IPC call timeout' until killed",
      "Excerpt": "## Summary\n\nOnce the master daemon loses its MTProto connection, it never recovers. It stays alive, keeps accepting IPC clients and keeps serving tool calls that can never complete, so every call from every client fails with `IPC call timeout: <tool>` until the master is killed by hand.\n\nI hit this after the daemon had been up for ~22 hours. The process was healthy and listening on `daemon.sock`, but had **zero** TCP connections to Telegram:\n\n```\n$ cat ~/.mcp-telegram/daemon.lock\n1836\n$ ps -o…",

      "Excerpt": "## Summary\n\nSince the master/client IPC architecture, the npm package cannot start on Windows with Node.js. `startOwner()` (dist/master.js) listens on `join(sessionDir, \"daemon.sock\")` — a filesystem path. On Windows, Node's `net.Server.listen(path)` only supports the named-pipe namespace (`\\\\.\\pipe\\` / `\\\\?\\pipe\\`, see [Node docs, \"IPC support\"](https://nodejs.org/api/net.html#identifying-paths-for-ipc-connections)), so the first launch (which becomes master) dies immediately:\n\n```…",
