Developer's WhatsApp agent now clears its own STOPs with signal-based gate rules

Developer petrusenkomax shares how his WhatsApp agent (sending replies and follow-ups for his contact improv class) now clears most of its own STOP blocks, with one deliberate exception.
A send gate checks for STOPs before anything goes out, using five rules:
- Sort every STOP by cause—a logout is not a warning;
- Logout STOPs clear once the daemon reconnects; the only human step is re-pairing the phone;
- STOPs from earlier days clear on the first tick of the new day;
- Same-day WhatsApp warning STOPs hold and never auto-clear;
- Every clear must tie to a signal the agent can itself observe (a reconnect or date change), never "looks fine now".
The takeaway: compress human intervention to one re-pair, and let the agent unblock itself based on observable signals.
