Convert markdown output to Telegram-compatible HTML before sending, so bold, italic, code, links, headers, blockquotes and code blocks render properly instead of showing raw markdown characters. Every send path (text, rich messages, thread replies, streaming edits, captions, ephemeral, scheduled, broadcast) now goes through `send_formatted` which sets `ParseMode::Html` and automatically falls back to plain text if the API rejects the HTML. Only the Telegram adapter is touched — Discord and Slack are unaffected.
If Telegram rejects the HTML caption the file was silently lost. Now retry with the raw caption text so the document is always delivered.
