Bot only handles /alert — no /help or /start commands #12

Description

@jangid

Problem

The bot only responds to the `/alert` command. Standard Telegram bot conventions include:

  • `/start` — greeting and usage instructions when a user first interacts
  • `/help` — display available commands and usage
  • `/status` — check if the bot is running and connected to Better Stack

Users who discover the bot have no way to learn how to use it without external documentation.

Expected

Add at minimum:

  • `/start` — welcome message with brief instructions
  • `/help` — list available commands with usage examples
  • Consider `/status` — a lightweight health check that confirms the bot can reach the Better Stack API
