This commit addresses three critical issues:
1. **Windows Compatibility**: Added explicit UTF-8 encoding to subprocess calls in
claude.py and codex.py to ensure proper execution on Windows systems where the
default encoding may differ.
2. **Telegram Special Characters**: Fixed encoding issues with special characters
(accents, emojis, etc.) in Telegram messages by:
- Adding UTF-8 encoding to subprocess calls
- Implementing fallback mechanism in telegram.py to retry without parse_mode
when markdown parsing fails with special characters
3. **Codex Session Control**: Added TELECODE_CODEX_PERSIST_SESSION configuration
option to control whether Codex sessions are persisted across messages:
- Default: enabled (1) - maintains backward compatibility
- Set to 0 to disable session persistence (fresh context each message)
- Added startup debug output to show current configuration
- Updated README.md and CLAUDE.md documentation
Breaking Changes: None - all changes are backward compatible.
Fixes issues with non-ASCII characters and provides better control over AI
session management.
The previous implementation used 'claude.cmd' on Windows, but the actual installed binary is 'claude.exe'. Simplifying to just 'claude' works across all platforms since Windows automatically resolves to .exe files in PATH.
- Added support for both /new (Codex) and /clear (Claude) commands - Both commands clear the current engine's session ID - Single menu entry shows '/clear or /new' to indicate both work - Provides user feedback confirming session reset
