telegram.message.delete-api

Delete a message via Telegram Bot API (deleteMessage) and return whether it succeeded. Input takes bot_uuid; the token is resolved from the TelegramBot row internally.

Call Telegram deleteMessage for a bot identified by bot_uuid.

PENDING (auto_advance=execute) → COMPLETED with {ok, chat_ref, message_ref} ↘ FAILED on any error

Single-responsibility: one API call, no DB writes.
