Fixes #2167

Summary

Telegram sink currently sends every TableBlock as {table_name}.txt via sendDocument when send_files is true (the default), including tiny Alert-label tables. Tables are also excluded from the finding message, so send_files: false drops them entirely.

This change:

  • Never sendDocument for table text under 1KB (or for overflow). Tables stay in sendMessage.
  • Uses parse_mode=HTML (not MarkdownV2). Cell/user text escapes &, <, >.
  • Wraps labels/tables in <blockquote expandable>.
  • Sets link_preview_options.is_disabled unless sending a graph/image.
  • Splits HTML over Telegram’s 4096-character limit into sequential sendMessage calls.
  • Keeps send_files for real FileBlock images/graphs only.
  • Passes message_thread_id on sendPhoto / sendDocument as well as sendMessage.

Independent of #2105 (MarkdownV2). Related UX request: #2137.

Test plan

  • Unit tests in tests/test_telegram_sink.py (small table does not call send_file; large text splits sendMessage; HTML escaping; expandable blockquote; parse_mode=HTML)

Walkthrough

The Telegram sink now renders findings with Telegram HTML, inlines tables as expandable quotes, splits messages over 4096 characters, and keeps send_files for images and other FileBlock attachments.

Changes

Telegram HTML delivery

Layer / File(s) Summary
HTML rendering and message splitting
src/robusta/core/sinks/telegram/telegram_html.py
Adds escaped HTML rendering for reporting blocks, expandable table output, and HTML-aware message splitting.

src/robusta/core/sinks/telegram/telegram_client.py
Sends HTML message chunks with disabled link previews and includes chat and thread identifiers in file requests.
Finding formatting and attachments
src/robusta/core/sinks/telegram/telegram_sink.py, src/robusta/core/sinks/telegram/telegram_sink_params.py
Inlines tables, renders finding content and actions as HTML, preserves multiple action links, and sends only FileBlock attachments.
Behavior validation and documentation
tests/test_telegram_sink.py, docs/configuration/sinks/telegram.rst
Adds coverage for escaping, rendering, splitting, API payloads, tables, files, and updated Telegram sink behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to a56ac

The PR changes how small Telegram tables and related message formatting are delivered, with no actionable merge-blocking risk remaining beyond normal checks and review.

In `@src/robusta/core/sinks/telegram/telegram_html.py`:
- Line 82: Update the HTML escaping/formatting flow around the emphasis
substitutions and the code-span handling so inline code content is temporarily
stashed before applying bold/italic transformations, then restored unchanged
afterward. Preserve literal Markdown delimiters inside code spans, and add a
regression test covering code such as `*pod*`.
- Line 174: Update split_telegram_html so its boundary selection also detects
incomplete HTML entities and backtracks to the entity start before returning the
limit, preventing entities such as escaped ampersand, less-than, or greater-than
sequences from being split across chunks. Add boundary tests covering entities
at the split point and verify each resulting chunk remains valid for Telegram.

In `@src/robusta/core/sinks/telegram/telegram_sink.py`:
- Line 36: Update the image-detection condition in __finding_has_graph_or_image
so it only detects image FileBlocks when self.send_files is enabled, preventing
link previews when uploads are disabled. Add an assertion covering
disable_links_preview=True to the test for images with file sending disabled.

- Line 114: Update the rendering logic around the table output to include
markdown_to_telegram_html(block.table_name) at the start of the expandable
blockquote body, rather than emitting it before the blockquote wrapper. Keep the
table label and body together so collapsing the expandable quote hides both.
