Represents a chat — a group, channel, contact, or bot conversation.

💡 Most fields are only populated by getChat. Elsewhere you usually get just id, title, and type.

Depending on the chat type, the server may include extra internal fields — scheduling, splash, and slot settings among them. They are not part of the documented contract and no SDK exposes them.
