Completes TODO #5. Forwarding a post now asks whether to save it whole
or extract its media; sending media directly is unchanged.
Built on forwarding rather than copying file_ids. The bot already has
the post in its private chat with the owner, so it stores message ids
and forwards them back. forwardMessages takes a list and keeps an album
intact, which is what made the caption-plus-album case tractable; ids
must be strictly ascending, so they are sorted on the way out.
- Vault rows live in their own table and every query is scoped to an
owner_id, so a guessed id cannot reach someone else's saved post.
Nothing in the vault is searchable inline, moderated or federated,
and the separate table makes that structural rather than a flag.
- Albums arrive as separate messages with no completion signal, so they
are buffered by media_group_id behind a 1s debounce and prompt once.
- The add path now takes a list of items, so extracting an album stores
every piece under one set of keywords instead of asking repeatedly.
- /vault searches keywords and the original caption, since the point of
a vault is finding something you never got round to tagging.
- Retrieval failures are reported: a message id is a pointer into the
chat, not a self-contained file_id, so clearing history breaks it.
Three near-identical keyword collectors are now one helper.

Completes TODO #2. PUBLIC_MODE swaps the ALLOWED_USERS allowlist for a
membership check against REQUIRED_CHATS, with REQUIRE_MODE choosing
between needing every chat or just one.
- Stop is_admin() falling back to "everyone is an admin" when
ADMIN_USERS is unset once PUBLIC_MODE is on. That fallback is the
original single-owner convenience, but under public mode it handed
moderation, /edit and /delete to anyone who found the bot. Public
mode now grants admin to nobody until ADMIN_USERS is set, and says
so at startup. Private deployments are unaffected.
- Cache membership answers: inline search queries on every keystroke,
so an uncached check meant several API calls per typed character.
Grants last five minutes, refusals thirty seconds, so a user who has
just joined is not locked out for the full window.
- Fail closed when the membership check errors, and validate
REQUIRED_CHATS at startup so a chat the bot cannot read is reported
rather than silently refusing every user.
- Refused users get a join prompt with real links instead of silence;
inline shows a tappable bar that opens the bot and explains why.
A private bot stays silent as before.

Completes TODO #6. The bot accepted photo, animation, video, voice and
sticker; music files, documents and round videos were silently dropped.
- Replace the five near-identical media handlers with one dispatch table.
Animations are matched before documents because Telegram populates
both fields for a GIF, so the old ordering would have filed every GIF
as a document once document support existed.
- Store video notes as "video". Telegram has no cached inline result for
video notes, so this is what keeps round videos searchable; it costs
the round presentation on playback.
- Build inline results from a table keyed by media_type, and cover audio
and document. A test asserts every storable type has a builder, so a
new media type cannot be added without a way to return it.
- Reuse one MEDIA_FILTER for both the idle and mid-keyword handlers;
the second list had already drifted from the first.
