Symptom
-------
Click "Unpair" on a connected account. The web action sets
\`status='unpaired'\`, but the account detail page often still shows
"Disconnected" — and on accounts that had been previously connected,
the QR pair flow restarts a few seconds later all on its own.
Cause
-----
Two races inside the session manager:
1. The web's \`unpairAccountAction\` notifies the bot via \`pg_notify\`
and then writes \`status='unpaired'\` to the row. The bot's
\`handleUnpair\` calls \`sessionManager.stop()\` which closes the
Baileys socket; Baileys eventually fires a \`connection: close\`
event which the manager's \`handleEvent\` translates into a
\`status='disconnected'\` UPDATE. Whichever write lands second wins.
The user clicks Unpair and sees Disconnected.
2. The same close-event handler schedules a 5-second
\`stop().then(start())\` reconnect for accounts whose
\`lastConnectedAt\` is set. Five seconds after unpair, the bot
silently re-opens the socket, the row flips to \`pending\`, and the
QR carousel restarts.
Fix
---
\`stop(accountId, { intentional: true })\` marks the account in a new
\`intentionalStops\` Set. When the close event lands, \`handleEvent\`
drains the flag (with \`Set.delete()\` returning whether the key was
present, so it's exactly-once and a stale flag can't bleed into a
later session) and skips both the DB UPDATE and the reconnect
schedule. The caller — only \`handleUnpair\` for now — is the one
choosing the row's next state, so we step out of its way.
The flag is set ONLY when callers ask for it. Internal recoveries
(restartRequired auto re-open, ephemeral-close back-off) keep the
default behaviour and continue to write \`disconnected\` + reschedule.
Drive-bys
---------
- Refresh the stale "the row is gone by the time we run" comment in
unpair-handler — the row stays alive now (the operator can re-pair
without retyping the label). Look up the account first so the
audit log carries the real \`operatorId\` instead of \`null\`. The
delete-account flow really does delete the row before notifying us;
the lookup tolerates that and falls back to \`null\`.

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.
