…text channel Users linking a Signal channel expect to text their own agent from their personal number (incl. "Note to Self"). Signal drops self-sent messages as loop protection, so this never works and causes confusion. Add expectation-setting callouts on the connect page and channel form explaining that the linked number is an inbox others message to reach the agent, that Note to Self won't reach it, and to test from a different phone.

Summary
What changed
connect.html.erb): amber callout for Signal channels explaining the number is reachable by others, that Note to Self won't reach the agent, and to test from a different phone._form.html.erb): matching "What this is" note in the Signal setup block.Both are Signal-only (gated on
channel_type == "signal"); WhatsApp copy is untouched.Why
Follow-up to #358 (Signal device-linking QR). The QR flow links the bot to the user's personal account, which lands users in the "Note to Self doesn't work" trap. This is the same architectural reality OpenClaw documents — easier to set expectations than to fight loop protection.
