Health Checks on macOS

How to see whether the WhatsApp Web/Baileys bridge is healthy from the menu bar app.

Menu bar (planned)

• Status dot expands beyond “relay running” to reflect Baileys health:
  • Green: linked + socket opened recently.
  • Orange: connecting/retrying.
  • Red: logged out or probe failed.
• Secondary line reads "Web: linked · auth 12m · socket ok" or shows the failure reason.
• "Run Health Check" menu item triggers an on-demand probe.

Settings (planned)

• General tab gains a Health card showing: linked E.164, auth age, session-store path/count, last check time, last error/status code, and buttons for Run Health Check / Reveal Logs / Relink.
• Uses a cached snapshot so the UI loads instantly and falls back gracefully when offline.

How the probe works (planned)

• App runs clawdis health --json via ShellRunner every ~60s and on demand. The probe loads creds, attempts a short Baileys connect, and reports status without sending messages.
• Cache the last good snapshot and the last error separately to avoid flicker; show the timestamp of each.

Until the UI ships

• Use the CLI flow in docs/health.md (status, heartbeat dry-run, relay heartbeat) and tail /tmp/clawdis/clawdis.log for web-heartbeat / web-reconnect.
