Adds three new MCP tools for forum topic management: - create_forum_topic — create a topic in a forum-enabled supergroup - edit_forum_topic — edit/close/reopen/hide a topic - delete_forum_topic — clear a topic's history (effectively delete) Adds `manage_topics` to ChatAdminRights for promote_admin, demote_admin, and edit_admin_rights so bots can be granted topic-management privileges (without this, you can promote a bot to admin but it still can't create or edit topics). Also fixes a latent bug in `list_topics`: it was calling `functions.channels.GetForumTopicsRequest` which doesn't exist in current Telethon — the actual MTProto method lives under `functions.messages.GetForumTopicsRequest` (verified on Telethon 1.42). Same correction applied across all forum-topic methods. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Closing as superseded — split into two focused PRs for easier review:
The remaining topic CRUD (edit/close/delete) from this PR can be revived separately if needed — branch stays. |

…ights (#6) promote_admin builds ChatAdminRights from a fixed dict that silently dropped manage_topics — granting topic rights via MCP was impossible (bots promoted this way could not create forum topics). Extracted from chigwell#126.

Summary
Three new MCP tools for forum topic management — and a bug fix on
list_topics.New tools (
telegram_mcp/tools/forum_topics.py)create_forum_topic(chat_id, title, icon_color, icon_emoji_id)— create a topic in a forum-enabled supergroupedit_forum_topic(chat_id, topic_id, title, icon_emoji_id, closed, hidden)— edit / close / reopen / hidedelete_forum_topic(chat_id, topic_id)— clear the topic's history (Telegram clients use this to delete a topic)manage_topicsadmin right (groups.py)ChatAdminRightsalready supportsmanage_topics, butpromote_admin,demote_admin, andedit_admin_rightsweren't passing it through. Result: you can promote a bot to admin, but it still can't create or edit topics. Now:promote_admindefault rights includemanage_topics: Trueedit_admin_rightsexposes amanage_topics: boolparameterdemote_adminexplicitly clears it on revokeBug fix on
list_topics(chats.py)list_topicswas callingfunctions.channels.GetForumTopicsRequest— that attribute doesn't exist in current Telethon (verified on 1.42.0). The MTProto method actually lives undermessagesnamespace:functions.messages.GetForumTopicsRequest(peer=...). The new forum-topic methods (Create/Edit/DeleteTopicHistory) live there too — so all four are now consistent.Test plan
functions.messages.{Create,Edit,Get,DeleteTopicHistory}exist withpeerkwargChatAdminRights(manage_topics=True)constructs without errorcreate_forum_topic, post into the new topicSupersedes #125 (closed because the original branch was off our internal fork rather than upstream main).
