fix: allow enabling an agent without Telegram credentials

[Jeremy2026AI]

Summary

• The `enable` CLI preflight hard-blocked every agent without BOT_TOKEN/CHAT_ID, but agent-manager.ts already treats Telegram as fully optional at the daemon level (it's simply skipped when BOT_TOKEN is absent — see the existing comment at agent-manager.ts:578).
• This aligns the CLI check with existing daemon behavior: enable now succeeds when both BOT_TOKEN and CHAT_ID are blank, and still fails loud on a partial config (only one of the two set), since that's a real misconfiguration rather than an intentional no-Telegram setup.

Test plan

• npm test — full suite passes (3646 passed)
• New integration test tests/integration/enable-no-telegram-cli.test.ts covers: both blank → exit 0 + enabled, only BOT_TOKEN set → exit 1, only CHAT_ID set → exit 1
• Manually verified against a temp fixture directory

Thanks for the contribution, @Jeremy2026AI. We’ve acknowledged PR #60 and queued it for maintainer review. We’ll post a substantive verdict by Monday, August 10.

Reopening to re-emit the pull_request event because GitHub did not materialize the first-time-contributor workflow approval run for exact head 86c7b62.

P1 — unreadable .env now fails open as intentional no-Telegram configuration.

parseEnvFile() catches every read error and returns {} (src/cli/enable-agent.ts:33-47). This change then treats both absent values as telegramConfigured === false and continues enabling (src/cli/enable-agent.ts:182-197). On exact head 86c7b62190775c66796ed901fc026bce570cbc69, I made the discovered .env path a directory so readFileSync throws EISDIR; cortextos enable exited 0, wrote enabled-agents.json, and reported “enabling without a Telegram channel.” The predecessor failed closed because the same empty parse result hit the required-value error. A permissions/read I/O failure has the same outcome.

Please distinguish a successful readable env with both Telegram values blank/absent from an env read failure. Fail before writing the registry on read failure, and add the unreadable/non-file .env casualty. The new positive and partial-pair cases can remain as-is. I also independently verified that a configured pair still enters live validation (an invalid configured token exited 1 without writing the registry), but a committed configured-pair regression would strengthen the moved branch.

Evidence closure for exact head 86c7b62190775c66796ed901fc026bce570cbc69:

• Hosted CI: all jobs green — CI run 31318951830
• Hosted safety gates: leak guard and scope reconcile green — run 31318951835
• Isolated checkout: typecheck/build green; focused new integration test 3/3 green; configured-pair invalid-token casualty exited 1 without registry write; unreadable/non-file .env casualty exited 0 and wrote the registry, which is the blocking REQUEST_CHANGES finding.

The full isolated root suite was not used as authority because it was run before dashboard dependencies were installed and also hit an unrelated timing test; hosted CI installed both dependency sets and completed green. The review remains blocked only on the fail-open repair and its regression test.

Thanks for this - it's a clean fix. You're right that the daemon already treats Telegram as optional; aligning the enable preflight with that behavior (and keeping the fail-loud path when exactly one of the two vars is set) is exactly the right shape, and the integration test is appreciated. Verdict: adopting. It's mergeable against current main, so we'll route it through our review process as-is. Thanks for contributing!
