Keeping Telegram attachments ready for the next task

I needed a dependable local copy of the audio and documents arriving in Telegram. I asked the OpenClaw secretary to preserve originals in dated folders without overwriting matching filenames. Transcription and editing would happen afterward.

I used Codex to build a Python saver and its operating instructions. It accepts local paths, download URLs or Telegram file identifiers, then records the destination, size, SHA-256 and input type in JSON and an index. The secretary reads that result before confirming completion.

An old account setting initially caused authentication failures. I changed the lookup order and added explicit account selection. I also fixed media URIs to resolve to received local files, handled Korean filename normalization, and made the supplied MediaPath the first choice.

I revisited two media-URI saves and three local-path saves. All five files matched the sizes and SHA-256 values in the index, giving later tasks a way to identify their originals. I did not establish the same test coverage for every other input route.

A reusable saver needs an input source, collision policy, explicit success fields and a recheck method. If no real path or identifier is available, my secretary asks for the attachment again. Better path handling cannot recreate a missing original.

This account covers the saving tool, its instructions and size/hash checks on five files. Preservation is separate from transcription or content review.
