- Volume was mounted at ~/.claude only, but claude-code writes auth to
~/.claude.json too — that file lived on the ephemeral container layer and
was lost on every recreate. Now the whole $HOME is on the named volume,
and claude-config moved outside HOME (/app) so it isn't shadowed by it.
- Default /news topic was hardcoded to AI; now it's a configurable
DEFAULT_TOPIC (plain "главные новости дня"), topic is fully free-form.
- Prompt now instructs Claude to send interim "⏳ ..." progress updates via
send_to_telegram while researching, not just the final digest — a bare
request like "call this tool" was already taking 3+ minutes end-to-end,
so silence read as broken.
- All user-facing/prompt text moved into bot/lib/lexicon.dart.
