wacli
Use wacli for WhatsApp sync/search/send via WhatsApp Web protocol.
Normal operation: the user chats with you via Telegram or WhatsApp and Clawdis handles it automatically.
Use wacli only when you need to talk to other people on WhatsApp (or to debug sync/search).

Notes
- Store dir:
~/.wacli(override with--store). - Backfill requires your phone online; results are best-effort.
- WhatsApp CLI is not needed for routine user chats; it’s for messaging other people.
- Confirm recipient + message before sending.
