Research direction
The error 'DISPLAY not set' suggests the script is trying to access X11 display, likely for notification styling. Check the Telegram notification code in ntfy/backends/telegram.py or similar. The issue may be resolved by setting the DISPLAY environment variable or using a headless mode. Consider adding a check or documentation for headless environments.
