 inspection can use the scenario `command` action while recording.
 
+## QA Lab participant identity fixtures
+
+The QA Lab Telegram adapter accepts optional fields on one Convex-leased Test
+Server credential: `forumGroupId`, positive numeric `forumTopicId`, and
+`participants`. Each additional participant supplies a unique lowercase `alias`,
+`testerUserId`, `tdlibArchiveBase64`, `tdlibArchiveSha256`, and `tdlibVersion`.
+The pool owner provisions these independently authorized users under the same
+lease. The SUT bot and every participant must already belong to the selected
+group and forum, and the topic must exist. No credential is acquired by merely
+listing scenarios or running deterministic support tests.
+
+For mixed-user flows, use `senderId: primary` and the additional aliases. A
+single-user fixture binds its first scenario sender label to its leased user;
+changing that label cannot impersonate a second person. `conversation.kind:
+direct` sends to the SUT DM. A group/channel conversation uses `groupId`; adding
+a positive numeric `threadId` selects that forum topic in `forumGroupId` (or the
+existing group when it is itself a forum). Each native chat/topic belongs to one
+logical conversation until transport reset. Replies require a receipt observed
+by the sending participant in that chat; TDLib message IDs cannot cross accounts.
+
+Flow preparation exposes in-memory `telegramIdentityFixture.participantAliases`
+and `forumTopicId`. Set `execution.config.requireParticipantIdentityFixture:
+true` to require the complete mixed-user/forum fixture before sending. It also
+retains the existing `readTelegramMessages()` observer for native topic evidence.
+These inputs enable real Telegram identity proof; deterministic adapter tests do
+not claim that live transport or audit inspection has run.

+    primary:
+      - gateway.identity-and-presence-apis
+  objective: Verify real Telegram DM and forum-topic admissions preserve one person identity across routes, distinguish a second participant, and retain bounded redacted execution identity across one Gateway restart.
+  gatewayConfigPatch:
+    logging:
+      audit:
+        enabled: true
+        executionIdentity: true
+  successCriteria:
+    - The primary QA user receives a DM reply and both participants receive replies in the configured forum topic.
+    - Each turn has one newly admitted run and distinct execution context; the primary person's pseudonym is stable across DM and forum while the additional person's differs.
+    - audit.run.inspect and audit CLI JSON and human output agree, retain bounded pseudonyms, and expose no raw participant, room, or message content.
+    - Exact execution identity survives one lifecycle-owned Gateway restart, and generic decision displays remain unverified.

+    summary: Run with qa telegram --scenario telegram-participant-identity-inspection --provider-mode mock-openai. The default mode requires a Convex-leased Test Server fixture with distinct participants and a forum topic. An explicitly supplied private-production descriptor uses two operator-local Telegram.app participants and private native-observation acknowledgements without leasing a production user. Uses the live adapter and no live model; incomplete fixtures fail without fallback.
