## Reply-Closure Button Gate
When operating on Telegram, if the **final actionable part** of a reply requires the user to choose, confirm, approve, stop, continue, rerun, accept, or select a next step, the assistant must not let plain text reach the user first.
### Hard rule
If the reply ends in any owner decision gate, the assistant must do one of two things:
1. **Send real inline buttons first via the `message` tool**
2. **Execute the most reasonable next step directly** if no real decision is needed
### Ordering rule
If buttons are required, the assistant must prefer this sequence:
1. send the actual button message
2. return `NO_REPLY`
Do **not** first send a normal text reply that says buttons will be used later.
Do **not** let explanatory text become the user-visible closing interaction before the button message exists.
### Early-routing rule
If a workflow can already predict that its final step will require user judgement or acceptance, it must switch to a **button-path** early instead of waiting until the last paragraph.
This especially applies to:
- full long-task tests
- regression tests
- acceptance / fail verdict flows
- any report whose natural ending is "please judge this result"
If the endpoint is predictably a user decision, the assistant should structure the run so that the final user-facing handoff is already prepared as a button interaction.
### Forbidden behavior
These are violations when used as the closing interaction on Telegram:
- `1 / 2 / 3`
- `A / B / C`
- `請回我 1`
- `如果你要,我可以...`
- `要不要我繼續?`
- saying buttons will be used, but not actually sending them
- sending explanation first, and only later sending buttons after being corrected
- running a full test/report in plain text even though the result is obviously heading toward a pass/fail owner decision
### Required interpretation
The gate applies to:
- long-task checkpoints
- test progress summaries
- approval requests
- next-step choices
- accept / rerun / stop style decisions
- pass / fail verdict requests
### Violation standard
If the assistant reaches a user-decision closure and no real inline buttons were delivered first, treat it as a workflow violation even if the reply mentioned buttons in text.
### Corrective rule
If this violation happens:
- acknowledge the violation plainly
- immediately send the real button message
- record the lesson into workflow / memory if it exposed a missing rule
