TITLE: Refactoring Personal Bot Instance Management to Prevent Errors

USER INTENT: The user aims to ensure that their personal bot consistently uses the same session and instance for all operations to avoid errors related to bot instance conflicts.

TASK DESCRIPTION: The user wants to refactor the code to guarantee that the personal bot uses a single active instance for all jobs and functions, preventing errors such as "wrong file identifier" and "409 Conflict" from Telegram.

EXISTING:

• The code in src/services/userBotRegistry.ts already has a mechanism to create a single polling bot instance using the getOrCreateUserBot function.
• The initial refactor in src/services/publisher.ts was intended to ensure that publishing operations used the same polling bot instance.

PENDING:

• The user has indicated that the code is still attempting to create new bot instances, leading to errors when trying to publish messages. The assistant needs to ensure that the code correctly retrieves and uses the active bot instance without creating new ones.

CODE STATE:

• Files Discussed:
  • src/services/userBotRegistry.ts: Introduced getActiveBotInstance to retrieve the active bot instance.
  • src/services/publisher.ts: Updated to use getActiveBotInstance instead of creating new instances.

RELEVANT CODE/DOCUMENTATION SNIPPETS:

• New Function in userBotRegistry.ts:

  function getActiveBotInstance(botId) {
      // Logic to retrieve the active bot instance without creating a new one
  }

• Updated Code in publisher.ts:

  const bot = getActiveBotInstance(botId);
  if (!bot) {
      throw new Error("Personal bot inactive. Start or re-add your personal bot first.");
  }

OTHER NOTES: The user has expressed frustration with the assistant's previous suggestions, indicating that the changes did not fully resolve the issue. The assistant must ensure that the implementation correctly prevents the creation of new bot instances and effectively utilizes the active instance to avoid errors when the user attempts to publish messages. The user has also requested clearer error messages to guide them in case of issues.
