Found from the live bot log: after the user scans the QR, Baileys
receives `pair-success`, logs "pairing configured successfully, expect
to restart the connection...", and then closes the websocket with
status 515 (DisconnectReason.restartRequired) so it can reopen with
the new credentials. The next `open` event finishes the pairing.
The previous code path treated ANY close during pairing as a failure:
it parked the row as `unpaired`, wiped the QR, and emitted
session.timeout to the UI. The user was greeted with "Pairing timed
out — The QR window closed before a device was linked" at the exact
moment they had successfully paired.
Three changes:
- session.ts emits `restartRequired: boolean` on the SessionEvent close
payload (true when reason === DisconnectReason.restartRequired).
- pair-handler treats the restart-required close as a no-op: keeps the
listener attached and the DB row in `pending` so the upcoming `open`
event flips it to `connected`.
- session-manager always reconnects on restart-required (250 ms after
the close — no `lastConnectedAt` gate, no 5 s back-off).
Pure helpers (`pair-state.ts`) updated to model the new branch:
- decideOnPairClose returns null when restartRequired (don't touch DB).
- shouldAutoReconnect returns true on restartRequired regardless of
whether the account has ever connected before.
Tests (+1; 26 bot tests, 104 web tests = 130 green):
- pair-state.test.ts gains explicit cases:
* restart-required close → null
* shouldAutoReconnect always true on restart-required (incl.
first-time pair, where hasEverConnected is false — the exact
case that broke in production).

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.
