rmyndharis/OpenWA：README 來源編輯指南

rmyndharis/OpenWA 的 README 將專案描述為「Free, Open Source, Self-Hosted WhatsApp API Gateway」。本文只整理倉庫可直接核對的內容，不把 star、Fork 或宣傳語當成品質證明。README 在「✨ Why OpenWA?」下寫到：OpenWA is a free, open-source WhatsApp API Gateway designed for developers who need full control over their messaging infrastructure,without vendor lock-in or hidden paywalls.。這說明的是專案邊界，不是已完成的生產驗證。

從 README 的「What this means in practice」與相關條目，可以先判斷它是否處理你的實際問題：Pick the right number. Never connect your primary personal or business number to an automated gateway. Use a dedicated number you can afford to lose. If you're running this for paying clients, pass that guidance on to them.。若需求不同，不應只因專案熱度就採用。本文保留原始專案名、命令與元件名，方便回到一手來源核對。 README 另外列出一項可核對的資訊：There is always a non-zero risk of account restriction or ban. WhatsApp's anti-abuse systems actively look for unofficial automation. No amount of code quality on our side can make that risk zero.。這類原文條目可用來設計試跑步驟，但不能取代實際環境測試。

README 將運作方式分散在「✨ Why OpenWA?」等段落。可確認的線索包括：| | | | ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | 🔓 100% Open Source | No licensing fees, no feature locks, full source code access | | 🏗️ Pluggable。本文不把未寫出的架構、效能或安全邊界補成結論；真正的執行鏈仍要配合目錄、設定檔與版本標籤檢查。

第一次安裝應從 README 指出的入口開始。目前可核對的命令是： # Clone and start git clone https://github.com/rmyndharis/OpenWA.git cd OpenWA docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up -d # Access (the dashboard is bundled into the API image and served on the same port) # Dashboard: http://localhost:2785 # API: http://localhost:2785/api # Swagger: http://localhost:2785/api/docs 如果倉庫沒有命令，本文不會自行編造步驟，而是建議先閱讀「⚠️ Before you connect a number , please read」，確認系統依賴、預設埠與首次初始化。

日常使用取決於專案文件。README 的「⚠️ Before you connect a number , please read」段落提到：OpenWA is an unofficial, community-maintained gateway. It connects to WhatsApp through reverse-engineered clients (the whatsapp-web.js, not through Meta's official Cloud API.。設定檔、環境變數、權限與資料目錄只在來源明確時才會記錄；沒有寫出的預設值，應在測試環境驗證並保留回滾副本。 同一部分也提到：First message to a brand-new contact sometimes never arrives. The API returns success because the message leaves OpenWA, but WhatsApp's server-side reach-out / trust policy drops it at delivery. This is independent of OpenWA.。
