WhatsApp Voice Calls

Good to know before installing

Runs a separate sidecar process (Rust, built on whatsapp-rust) that the user starts or installs as a systemd/launchd user service; the binary is downloaded from this repo's GitHub release, built and attested by its release workflow, and checked against checksums pinned in the repo (plus the build attestation when the gh CLI is present). The sidecar becomes an extra linked device of the bot's WhatsApp number through an unofficial protocol, stores that session in the plugin's data directory, and answers only the owner's number. During calls it streams audio to generativelanguage.googleapis.com with GOOGLE_API_KEY or GEMINI_API_KEY (read via get_secret), along with the persona briefing, the outgoing call's reason and ask_hermes results as text. It calls the local api_server with API_SERVER_KEY for ask_hermes (a full Hermes turn with the owner's tools), the persona briefing (at startup and after each call) and the post-call summary, a run that may write to Hermes memory and whose result is sent to the owner on WhatsApp. The dashboard tab's backend saves only this plugin's settings (through hermes config set), starts and stops pairing, places test calls to the owner, and restarts the si
