Reminders
- Add recurrence to wizard step 3 (None / Daily / Weekly+weekday picker /
Monthly / Yearly). Build the RRULE client-side and thread it through
the wizard URL state.
- Action stores rrule + scheduleKind="recurring" on insert.
- Bot reschedules the next occurrence after firing a recurring reminder
using the existing rrule helpers in @cmbot/shared. One-off behavior
unchanged.
- Add reminders.last_fired_at column to track last fire.
Pairing
- Move QR PNG out of the pg_notify payload (the 8000-byte limit was
silently truncating it; QR never reached the web → "QR hang"). PNG
now lives on whatsapp_accounts.last_qr_png; NOTIFY just signals
{type: session.qr, accountId, ts}. Web fetches the bytes from a new
read-only /api/qr/[accountId] route (allowed via middleware).
- handleStartPairing now stops any in-flight session before starting a
fresh one — fixes Re-pair where session.start was a silent no-op and
Baileys never re-emitted QR.
- Pair-live: countdown moved out from over the QR (it was overlapping
the scan area); shown as a discrete progress bar above the QR.
- Add a "Save QR" download button.
Account detail page
- Pair / Unpair / Delete cards are themselves the trigger (form submit
or DialogTrigger) — no inline buttons, whole card is clickable.
- Sync Groups Now card removed earlier; bot already auto-syncs.
Account list page
- Cards are the link target. A small floating Delete trigger (top-right
trash icon) opens the destructive confirm dialog without blocking
navigation on the rest of the card.
Tests
- recurrence.test.ts: 10 tests for buildRrule / kindFromRrule /
describeRecurrence (incl. weekly day combos and BYDAY ordering).
- reminders.schema.test.ts: regression for the "Invalid datetime" bug —
proves strict Zod .datetime() rejected luxon's offset ISO and the
{ offset: true } option accepts both forms.
Migration: 0004_next_prowler.sql
- whatsapp_accounts.last_qr_png (text)
- reminders.last_fired_at (timestamptz)

cm WhatsApp Reminder Bot
Self-hosted WhatsApp reminder bot. Pairs multiple WhatsApp accounts via Telegram-delivered QR codes and sends scheduled reminders to groups.
Status
Plan 1 complete. Foundation, DB schema, and Telegram-driven WhatsApp pairing are working end-to-end. Reminder scheduling, the web dashboard, and production deploy are upcoming plans (docs/superpowers/plans/).
What's working today:
- Single-operator Telegram bot with a whitelist + audit log of every command.
- BotFather-style menu navigation:
/menuopens a single message that edits in place as you navigate. - Pair a new WhatsApp account with
/menu→ 📡 Pair New → reply with a label. QR is delivered to Telegram and refreshed in place as it expires. - Browse paired accounts with 📒 Accounts. Tap an account → see groups, send a test text message, or unpair.
- Group sync runs at pairing and on every Baileys
groups.upsert/groups.updateevent, plus a manual 🔄 Refresh button. Removed groups are pruned automatically. - Auto-reconnect on transient drops; restart-survival via Baileys
useMultiFileAuthState(no QR rescan needed across container restarts as long as WhatsApp hasn't logged the device out).
Host requirements
Only Docker. No host Node, pnpm, or any other language toolchain — everything runs in containers via the long-lived tools service.
Architecture in one paragraph
Two app containers and one external dependency. bot (Node.js) holds the live Baileys WhatsApp sessions, the grammy Telegram bot, and (in plan 2) a pg-boss scheduler. web (Next.js, plan 3) is stateless UI + API. tools is a long-running Node 22 + pnpm sidecar used for installs/tests/typechecks/migrations so the host doesn't need a Node toolchain. Postgres lives external at 192.168.0.210 in a wabot database. All cross-service communication goes through Postgres (LISTEN/NOTIFY for events, table writes for state).
Full design spec: docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-03-whatsapp-bot-design.md
Quick start (dev)
Prerequisites: Docker, the wabot database + waBot role on 192.168.0.210 (with a pg_hba.conf line permitting 192.168.0.0/24), and a Telegram bot token from @BotFather.
# 1. Configure env
cp envs/.env.example .env.development
# edit .env.development: real DATABASE_URL, TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN, your TG user ID
scripts/gen_auth_secret.sh --write
# 2. Bring up the tools container, install deps
NO_SUDO=1 scripts/dev.sh up
NO_SUDO=1 scripts/dev.sh pnpm install
# 3. Apply migrations and seed your operator row
NO_SUDO=1 scripts/db.sh migrate
NO_SUDO=1 scripts/db.sh seed
# 4. Watch the bot service
NO_SUDO=1 scripts/dev.sh logs bot
In Telegram, message your dev bot /menu, tap 📡 Pair New, reply with a label, scan the QR.
NO_SUDO=1 is the right setting if your user is in the docker group (the default for this repo). Drop it if you need sudo docker.

Scripts
All pnpm/tsx/drizzle-kit invocations run inside the tools container, so no host Node is needed.
