---# /whatsapp-claude-channel:configure — WhatsApp Channel Setup
Writes configuration to `~/.whatsapp-channel/.env` and orients the
user on access policy. The server reads both files at boot.
Arguments passed: `$ARGUMENTS`
---## Dispatch on arguments
### No args — status and guidance
Read both state files and give the user a complete picture:
1. **Phone number** — check `~/.whatsapp-channel/.env` for
`WHATSAPP_PHONE_NUMBER`. Show set/not-set; if set, show the number.
2. **Auth state** — check whether `~/.whatsapp-channel/.baileys_auth/creds.json`
