Subject: [PATCH] feat(03-03): build batch confirmation keyboard with inline
 buttons

- Replace placeholder 'Format Multiple Matches' with 'Build Batch Keyboard'
- Create inline_keyboard with 'Yes, <action> N containers' and 'Cancel' buttons
- Encode batch container IDs in callback_data (limit 4 for 64-byte constraint)
- Use HTTP Request for sendMessage (same pattern as suggestion flow)
- Format container list with bullet points in confirmation message
