 Telegram bot (teloxide) that turns post links from X/Twitter, Pixiv, Bluesky, Misskey (misskey.io), and Bilibili dynamics into media messages (images, video, GIF) with the post's title, author, and tags. It supports batch media splitting, retry with persistence, inline queries, forward-channel rebinding with caption templates, and Pixiv ugoira→MP4 transcoding. README is in Chinese; user-facing bot strings are in English. The project is a Rust port of a Python predecessor (see `queue.rs` comments referencing `utils/task_queue.py`).

 - Sending a link in a private chat fetches and sends the images, videos and GIFs automatically; oversized media is split into batches (10 items per group)
 - Text-only posts report "no media"; unsupported links are silently ignored. Fetch failures name the reason (post gone / content withheld / source risk control / site not enabled)
 - Long posts (text ≥ `CAPTION_QUOTE_TEXT_CHARS`, default 200) show **the text part** of their caption inside a collapsible blockquote, with the link and author line left outside it
-- Inline queries (`@bot <link>`) — except Pixiv images and locally transcoded animations, which Telegram cannot fetch (no Referer) and would show broken, so they are skipped; a supported link posted in a group gets a one-line hint to use the private chat or inline mode (channels stay silent)
+- Inline queries (`@bot <link>`) — except Pixiv images and locally transcoded animations, which Telegram cannot fetch (no Referer) and would show broken, so they are skipped (such a query answers empty rather than spinning or re-fetching); a supported link posted in a group gets a one-line hint to use the private chat or inline mode (channels stay silent)
 - `/start` explains the supported sites and how to use it; `/help` lists the commands plus argument syntax, the caption placeholders and the private-chat rule; the bot's profile description texts are set at startup
 - `/settings` shows this chat's configuration (forward channel, edit-before-forward, per-site caption formats, saved templates); templates are added with `/set_template` and removed with `/remove_template`
 - Bind a forward channel for automatic forwarding; edit the caption before forwarding and apply custom templates (the prompt carries Confirm / Skip buttons, states its expiry, and is marked expired in place once it lapses)
