Bot uses default HTML parse mode — all messages are HTML-parsed by Telegram.
Added html.escape() to all user-controlled and admin-controlled strings
before interpolation into HTML messages to prevent injection and parse errors.
49 files, ~250+ injection points fixed:
- user.full_name, first_name across all handlers and services
- tariff.name/description in purchase flow, admin panel, auto-purchase service
- campaign.name, start_parameter in admin and user-facing handlers
- group.name, promo_group.name across promo management
- contest.title, prize_text, leaderboard names (including public channels)
- transaction.description (contains raw user.full_name from referral service)
- restriction_reason across all balance and subscription handlers
- ticket.title, message_text, poll.title, poll.description
- welcome text template placeholders (first_name, username)
- maintenance reason, admin_name, selected_prize.display_name
New helpers in app/utils/formatting.py:
- safe_html_name() for escaping display names
- user_html_link() replacing 15+ duplicated inline link patterns
