Subject: [PATCH] fix: clarify WhatsApp phone number prompt to prevent auth
 failures
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The example "1234567890" was ambiguous — users couldn't tell where the
country code ended and the number began, and some included a leading "+"
which caused pairing to fail. Use a realistic US example (14155551234)
and explicit formatting rules in both the prompt and troubleshooting.

Closes #447
