Watch out for

Google Contacts API has strict rate limits so implement caching or throttling to avoid 429 errors.
Timezone mismatches can cause missed birthdays so explicitly convert all dates to UTC before comparison.
Telegram bot tokens must be stored as secrets rather than hardcoded in the script to prevent leakage.
Home Assistant media players may ignore long messages so truncate or split text if it exceeds character limits.
