docs: research WhatsApp catering bot APIs and propose architecture
Research spike for OAK-8. Compares Meta WhatsApp Cloud API against Twilio and other BSPs, proposes infrastructure and message flow, and recommends a provider. No bot implementation. Key findings: - Meta's Groups API exists but caps groups at 8 participants, is invite-only, and requires Official Business Account status (press-notability gated), so the existing group-chat workflow cannot be automated. Group broadcast stays manual, with a wa.me deep link preserving reply attribution. - Recommends developing against Twilio's sandbox (no Meta account or business verification required) and shipping production on Meta Cloud API direct, behind a thin provider adapter. - Flags that service messages and in-window utility templates become billable on 2026-10-01.
