- Add new section explaining self-chat mode for group control
- Document routing.allowFrom as the key setting for controlling metadata mentions
- Clarify difference between whatsapp.allowFrom (DM allowlist) and routing.allowFrom (self-chat mode)
- Explain metadata mentions vs text patterns in routing.groupChat
- Add example config for responding only to specific text triggers
When routing.allowFrom contains the bot's own number, WhatsApp native
@-mentions are ignored in groups, and only mentionPatterns trigger responses.
This prevents unwanted responses when users tap-to-mention the bot owner.

When using macOS app with WhatsApp issues:
1. Run pnpm gateway:watch (Node instead of bun)
2. Enable 'External gateway' in app debug settings
Verified gateway:watch command exists in package.json
- Docker/container setup (volumes, pnpm persistence, startup script)
- OAuth vs API key billing differences
- OAuth callback workarounds for headless/containers
- Terminal onboarding vs macOS app (terminal more stable)
- bun binary vs Node runtime (Node more stable for WhatsApp)
- gateway:watch for debugging
- Tailscale link and setup clarification
Based on community questions from Discord #help
- How to add/reload skills (/reset)
- Tailscale for multi-machine setups
- Using Codex to debug
- Handling supervised processes on Linux
- Clean uninstall steps
Expand "Remote mode note" section with:
- Exact oauth.json format required (access, refresh, expires)
- Note that auto-import doesn't work with Claude Code credentials
- jq script to convert Claude Code credentials to Clawdis format
