retoorandClaude Opus 4.8 115e403e67 whatsapp: native C++ client + terminal-screenshot tool
Native WhatsApp Web multi-device client in C++ (src/whatsapp/, namespace
detz::wa), built on OpenSSL plus a vendored public-domain ed25519 ref10
(third_party/ed25519, zlib) for XEdDSA and the nayuki QR generator
(third_party/qrcodegen, MIT); no new runtime dependency.

- WaCrypto, WaBinary, WaProto, WaNoise, WaSignal, WaDevice, WaSocket,
  WaClient, WaStore, WaQr, WaWizard.
- Verified offline against golden vectors captured from the real Baileys
  client (tests/whatsapp_data, from jfelipesjc/wa-go, MIT): HKDF/PBKDF2 RFC
  vectors, XEdDSA roundtrips, codec battery 19/19, ClientPayload byte-exact,
  the Noise handshake, and a 4-exchange Signal session byte-exact. Unit test
  build/whatsapp_test (16/16), run_all step whatsapp.unit.
- Verified live against web.whatsapp.com: `detz --whatsapp-link` connects,
  completes the Noise handshake, receives pair-device, renders a scannable QR
  in the terminal, and persists the device to the vault (whatsapp/<profile>.db).
  Also --whatsapp-status / --whatsapp-unlink.
- Agent tools whatsapp_send and whatsapp_contacts (detz-only, in DetzTools).
- Pairing completion after the phone scans, and the message send path
  (usync + prekey fetch + Signal encrypt + send node), are ported faithfully
  from whatsmeow but unverified in-tree (no linked account in development).
  send_image and own-device fan-out are not wired yet. See docs/whatsapp.md.

Also in this snapshot: the terminal-screenshot tool (src/termshot/,
terminal_screenshot, docs/termshot.md, research/terminal-screenshot-rendering)
and a concurrent session's in-progress llm/muse failover changes carried along
in the shared files.

Summary

The local copyright file of the PSF console fonts installed under /usr/share/consolefonts. Read to see which bitmap fonts are already on the machine and under which terms.

Key findings

  • Terminus Font is SIL OFL 1.1 with Reserved Font Name "Terminus Font".
  • X11 fixed fonts 7x14, 8x13, 9x15, 9x18 are public domain; 8x16 variants carry a Sony permission notice; unifont.bdf (old) is Czyborra freeware.
  • Installed: Uni2-Terminus16.psf.gz and related Uni1/Uni2/Lat15 Terminus and Fixed PSF fonts (directory listing).

Pros / strengths

Ground truth for the fallback option without a download: Terminus 8x16 is present locally.

Cons / limitations / caveats

PSF fonts are a console package, not guaranteed on a minimal server; OFL reserved-name rules complicate a converted copy.

Relevance to tai

Terminus kept as the documented fallback; Spleen chosen for its simpler BSD license and braille coverage.
