## Key Features

* **Two-Step Pipeline**: Drafter writes an initial response, Editor polishes it
* **Workflow on Telegram**: The `Workflow` (not individual agents) is passed to the Telegram interface
* **Sequential Steps**: `Steps` chains `Step` objects in order
* **Persistent Sessions**: SQLite database for conversation history across restarts
