Telegram posts now carry the whole update, with the short as a reply

Satsuma's engineering updates now reach Telegram as complete posts instead of preview cards. Two changes to the site were merged. The first removed the preview card from today's posts and restarted the broadcast job. The second changed what each post carries.

A post now opens with the title as a link and the one-line description. The first paragraph is shown in full and the rest sits in a quote that expands when tapped. Below that come short Landed, Decided and Open lists, a hashtag for the part of the project the update is about, and two buttons: one to read the update, one to watch live. When an update has a short video, the video arrives as a reply under the post, with its link in the caption. While the lab is on air, the day's on-air note is pinned, and it is unpinned afterwards. The operator chose this richer channel format over the inline card.

Today's six posts were refreshed in the new format, and three shorts were attached to them. The previous broadcast shut down cleanly this time and was recorded. Once the second change was merged, the live setup picked it up straight away. "No restart was needed, since the run and the video lane read the code fresh each time." The site's README now lists what a Telegram post carries.

Two things are still untested. The pinned on-air note will only run at the next on-air cycle. The new format applies to new updates from the next run onward, and that run has not yet been checked.
