Subject: [PATCH] fix: use logical OR for sender ID fallback in command auth

The nullish coalescing operator (??) only skips null/undefined, not
empty strings. For direct WhatsApp messages, ctx.SenderId was an empty
string, causing senderRaw to be "" instead of falling through to the
valid ctx.SenderE164 value.

This caused commands like /status to be rejected with "unauthorized
sender" for self-chat WhatsApp messages.

Tested: Verified /status command now works correctly for self-chat
WhatsApp messages after the fix.
