Description
I've been looking into what a implementation of the WhatsApp source would look like and it lookslike Meta has blocked general purpose aAI chatbots from using their business api.
The workaround is to use a unofficial protocol library like github.com/WhiskeySockets/Baileys
I would be interested in looking further into this if the team doesn't think this is a deal breaker?

Research direction
Start with issue #418 and the linked Baileys library, then assess how a WhatsApp source could fit this Rust repository and whether the unofficial protocol is acceptable under Meta's stated restrictions. Done would require an agreed implementation scope and feasibility decision; the issue currently names no files, tests, or entry point.
