- Telegram-style loading spinner - Shows spinning indicator while fetching older messages

Upgrade Notes
Database Migration Required:
The migration runs automatically on startup. If you're using PostgreSQL, ensure the backup container has write access.
After upgrading, pinned messages will be populated on the next backup run. If you want to populate them immediately without waiting for the next backup:
# Trigger a manual backup to sync pinned messages
docker exec telegram-backup python -m src.main backupIf using the real-time listener (ENABLE_LISTENER=true), pin/unpin events will be captured automatically going forward.
