Claude Code adds Discord, Telegram channels

This looks less like a novelty integration and more like Anthropic turning Claude Code into a real event-driven agent runtime. The first release is still tightly gated, which makes it feel aimed at power users and admins rather than casual remote control.

• –It standardizes a pattern developers have already been hacking together with unofficial Discord and Telegram bridges.
• –The session-open requirement keeps the scope narrow: useful for reactive workflows, not true always-on automation.
• –Using MCP as the transport makes the feature composable with existing Claude Code plugins and tooling.
• –Sender allowlists and `channelsEnabled` controls address the obvious abuse and access-control risks.
• –The strongest use cases are CI alerts, human handoffs, and status pings that need an immediate coding response.
