Windows install note

On Windows, the WhatsApp plugin needs Git on PATH during npm install because one of its Baileys/libsignal dependencies is fetched from a git URL. Install Git for Windows, then restart the shell and rerun the install:

powershell
winget install --id Git.Git -e

Portable Git also works if its bin directory is on PATH.
