Provenance

• layer: 228
• structural source: tdlib
• canonical schema: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tdlib/td/refs/heads/master/td/generate/scheme/telegram_api.tl
• prose merge precedence: TDLib → Telegram Desktop → Core JSON
• source note: Canonical structure is the pinned TDLib telegram_api.tl; Layer 228 comes only from the matching Telegram Desktop end-of-file marker; core.telegram.org inputs enrich documentation and RPC error metadata without overriding structure.
