- Add send_chat_action() method to TelegramNotifier to send typing action
- Display 'typing...' in Telegram chat while generating AI summary
- Apply typing status in /ai command handler
- Apply typing status in hybrid mode AI summary callback

The typing status provides visual feedback to users that the bot is
processing their request, improving user experience when waiting for
LLM responses.

When user clicks 'AI Summary' button in hybrid mode, delete the original
message containing the button after generating and sending the summary.
This keeps the chat cleaner and removes the now-redundant message.

Hybrid mode now shows:
- Summary button (always displayed)
- Translate button (only when source_language != target_language)

Changes:
- Enhanced cache to store source_language for each email uid
- Modified _send_hybrid to accept language parameters
- Updated keyboard generation to conditionally show Translate button
- Added _cb_translate callback handler for translation button
- Pass user's language setting from manager to notifier

When user clicks Translate button:
- Show typing status
- Generate translation via AI
- Display translation as reply
- Delete original button message

Agent mode now follows sequence:
1. Send original email (RAW format)
2. Auto-send Summary as separate message
3. Auto-send Translation (only if source_language != target_language)

Changes:
- Modified send_with_mode Agent branch to send original only
- Added _send_agent_summary() method for auto-summary messages
- Added _send_agent_translation() method for auto-translation messages
- Updated manager.py to trigger summary and translation in Agent mode
- Conditional translation based on language detection

This replaces the old _send_agent_card behavior with a sequence
of individual messages for better clarity and control.

When user clicks AI Summary or Translate button:
- Remove inline keyboard (buttons) using editMessageReplyMarkup
- Keep the original message text intact
- Cleaner UX that preserves message context

Changes:
- Added remove_message_keyboard() method to TelegramNotifier
- Updated _cb_summary() to use remove_message_keyboard() instead of delete_message()
- Updated _cb_translate() to use remove_message_keyboard() instead of delete_message()

Previously, AI analysis was only run in Agent mode, so Hybrid mode
never had source_language information to decide whether to show the
Translate button.

Now both Hybrid and Agent modes run analyze_email() to get:
- source_language for detecting translation need
- summary and other AI analysis results

This fixes the Translate button not appearing in Hybrid mode.

…control

- Hybrid mode: display email preview with dynamic buttons (Summary, Original, Translate)
  - No AI analysis upfront (zero token cost unless user clicks)
  - Translate button only shown when source language differs from target
  - Language detection via heuristic method (no LLM call)

- Agent mode: auto-run AI summary with Original/Translate buttons
  - Upfront token cost but provides immediate summary
  - Translate button shown conditionally based on source language

- Add show original email button in both modes
  - Displays full email content via cached snapshot
  - Zero token cost (no AI analysis)

- Token cost optimization:
  - Hybrid users can save 80-90% tokens by not using AI features
  - Agent users get automatic summaries at cost of upfront token usage
  - All buttons remain visible (no hiding after interaction)

Changes:
- core/ai.py: Add detect_language_simple() for heuristic language detection
- core/manager.py: Differentiate AI analysis timing (Agent upfront, Hybrid on-demand)
- core/notifiers/telegram.py: Dynamic button display based on language detection
- core/bot.py: Implement callback handlers for Summary, Original, Translate buttons
