#### Telegram Test Environment

Telegram provides a dedicated [environment for **bot testing**](https://core.telegram.org/bots/webapps#testing-mini-apps). It allows safe, isolated testing of bot functionality without affecting production data or users.

To send requests to the test environment, insert `/test` **between the bot token and method name** in your API call. This acts as a shorthand "hack" to avoid changing your code structure.

```ruby
# Normal token:
'123456:ABC-DEF1234ghIkl-zyx57W2v1u123ew11'

# Modified for test environment:
'123456:ABC-DEF1234ghIkl-zyx57W2v1u123ew11/test'
```

### Testing

There is a `Telegram::Bot::ClientStub` class to stub client for tests.
