Hey @alimaktabi - I've reviewed your changes and found some issues that need to be addressed.

Blocking issues:

• Removing IP validation creates a significant security vulnerability (link)

Overall Comments:

• ⚠️ SECURITY CONCERN: Removing IP address validation for Telegram webhooks creates a significant security vulnerability. This validation ensures requests are genuinely from Telegram's servers. Please either restore the validation or provide strong justification and alternative security measures.
• Instead of commenting out code, please either keep it active or remove it entirely with proper justification. Commented out code creates maintenance confusion and technical debt.

Here's what I looked at during the review

• 🟢 General issues: all looks good
• 🔴 Security: 1 blocking issue
• 🟢 Testing: all looks good
• 🟢 Complexity: all looks good
• 🟢 Documentation: all looks good

🚨 issue (security): Removing IP validation creates a significant security vulnerability

IP validation is a crucial security control for Telegram webhooks. Removing it allows potential attackers to spoof requests from unauthorized sources. Consider keeping this validation in place as part of a defense-in-depth strategy.
