//! Burst collector for the Telegram inbound path.
//!
//! Telegram gives bots no "still typing" signal, so a short quiet window per
//! account and chat is the only available mechanism to fuse one burst into one
//! request; the collector hands the parts to the pipeline in send order.
//!
//! One quiet window is not enough on its own, because a forwarded attachment is
//! handed to the collector only once its fetch has finished while the comment
//! that came with it opens a group whose much shorter window keeps running. The
//! collector therefore holds a group while a message of the same sender in the
//! same chat is still being prepared ([`Preparations`]) — whatever that message
//! is, an attachment as much as a forwarded one — and takes the hold from that
//! preparation: the mark is cleared before the part is handed over, and the
//! group's window starts at that clear rather than at its last part — the moment
//! in between is what the window covers — so the part it produced lands inside it.
//! The ceiling yields to a held group for the same reason: a ceiling falling at
//! the end of a hold would cut the group before that part had been taken in. The
//! wait is the preparation's own — bounded by the transfer, which abandons a
//! fetch that overruns it — and the caps still bound the group's size: they release
//! a group whatever is being prepared for it, a burst that large being beyond what
//! one turn is for. Only that pair is affected; a group with nothing of its
//! sender's in flight keeps the window it has today.
//!
//! Every release — a lone message's included — is recorded durably (see
//! [`crate::channels::telegram_intake::BurstRecord`]).
