// ============================================================================
// 36 — POSTING, EDITING, AND REPOSTING STORIES
// ============================================================================
//
// Bots can post Telegram Stories on behalf of a connected Business
// Account. This example shows:
//   - `postStory` — publishing a new photo/video story.
//   - `editStory` — replacing an existing story's content or caption.
//   - `deleteStory` — removing one early.
//   - `repostStory` — reposting a story from one connected account to
//     another (both must be connected to this bot, and the source story
//     must have been posted/reposted by this bot).
//
// HOW TO RUN:
//   1. Create a file named `.env` next to this script containing:
//        TOKEN=123456:ABC-your-token-here
//   2. Connect a Business Account to this bot in Telegram's settings.
//   3. dart run example/36_stories.dart
// ============================================================================
