  • Primary decision areas: Two Modes, Prerequisites, Step 1: Run the Setup Wizard, Step 2: Getting a Second Phone Number (Bot Mode), Step 3: Configure Hermes. Read those source anchors before changing installs, credentials, automation, or runtime configuration.
  • Useful search signals for this doc: whatsapp, setup, connects, through, bridge. These are derived from the public title and summary so the clone remains lightweight.
