Make "..." placeholder first message optional in post+edit fallback #140
Description
Problem Statement
On post+edit fallback platforms (notably Telegram), the initial placeholder message can disrupt message ordering when bots emit tool/debug messages alongside a streamed response. The finished message currently shows up above the tool call messages.
I use my own injected messages for showing tool call status and args.
Also, the initial "..." placeholder looks redundant when using the typing indicator with Telegram (Adding that would be another issue actually)
Proposed Solution
Add a flag to disable this default behavior e.g.
this._fallbackStreamingPlaceholderText = config.fallbackStreamingPlaceholderText ?? "...";
or preferably remove a placeholder message completely in favor of using the Telegram typing indicator API:
await telegramApi("sendChatAction", { chat_id: chatId, action: "typing" })
Deleting it later i tried, that looks weird in the Telegram chat itself, it does its animations for that action
