description	Start the remotty bridge for Telegram. Use when the user asks to start remotty, run the bridge, or connect Telegram to Codex CLI.

remotty start

Start Remote Control from the current project. The supported Telegram flow is for Codex CLI.

1. Resolve the config path for checks and troubleshooting:

$configPath = Join-Path $env:APPDATA "remotty\bridge.toml"

2. If remotty service status reports an installed service, run:

remotty service start

3. Otherwise start an interactive window in the project directory:

Start-Process pwsh -ArgumentList @(
  "-NoProfile",
  "-NoExit",
  "-Command",
  "remotty remote-control; Read-Host 'Press Enter to close'"
)

4. Confirm that the Remote Control window shows:

Remote Control active
Listening for Telegram channel messages from: remotty:telegram

5. Tell the user to keep the Remote Control window open while using Telegram.
6. If a polling conflict appears, explain that another bridge is reading the same bot.
