+    title: "Telegram: use send_photo, never send_media_group — album captions render blank"
+    decision: Send Telegram photos with telegram_bot.send_photo (service-level caption), never
+      send_media_group. Per-item captions in a media group arrive blank on this bot,
+      silently — the photos post with no text.
+    rationale: "HA passes per-item captions correctly (InputMediaPhoto(caption=...) in
+      telegram_bot/bot.py), so the payload looks right in code and sends without error,
+      but Telegram renders nothing. Confirmed 2026-10-01: an album sent with captions
+      arrived with zero text; the same content via send_photo rendered every caption.
+      send_media_group also has no album-level caption field, so no text can be made to
+      render. Cost: 3 cameras = 3 messages, not one album."
