 - **Pi/Tau stability:** RPC replies buffered until the assistant turn finishes; parsers return consistent `texts[]`; web auto-replies keep a warm Tau RPC process to avoid cold starts.
 - **Claude prompt flow:** One-time `sessionIntro` with per-message `/think:high` bodyPrefix; system prompt always sent on first turn even with `sendSystemOnce`.
 - **Heartbeat UX:** Backpressure skips reply heartbeats while other commands run; skips don’t refresh session `updatedAt`; web/Twilio heartbeats normalize array payloads and optional `heartbeatCommand`.
+- **Control via WhatsApp:** Send `/restart` to restart the warelay launchd service (`com.steipete.warelay`) from your allowed numbers.
 - **Tau completion signal:** RPC now resolves on Tau’s `agent_end` (or process exit) so late assistant messages aren’t truncated; 5-minute hard cap only as a failsafe.
 
 ### Reliability & UX
