WhatsApp Dispatch connected but not processing or sending messages windows #1727

Describe the bug

Even when the WhatsApp status is "Connected" (green light active), the interpreter fails to detect, process, or reply to any messages sent via self-chat. On the mobile device, messages show as "Read" (double blue ticks), but no action is triggered in the desktop application's main console. The application stays idle on the "What would you like to work on?" screen.

Environment

  • OS: Windows 11
  • Approval Policy: Full Auto
  • Model: Carnice 9B (Local via LM Studio)
  • Connection State: Green dot / Connected

Reproduce

  1. Connect WhatsApp via Dispatch and confirm "WhatsApp is connected" status.
  2. Ensure Approval Policy is set to Full Auto.
  3. Send a command (e.g., "Hi" or "ls") from the mobile phone to "Self-chat".
  4. Observe that the message is marked as read (blue ticks) on the phone.
  5. Observe that nothing happens in the Open Interpreter Desktop UI.

Expected behavior

The interpreter should detect the incoming message, display it in the UI, execute the necessary code (since Full Auto is enabled), and send the output back to the WhatsApp chat.

Additional context

It seems like the bridge between the WhatsApp Web instance and the interpreter core is broken. Even though the "headless browser" is reading the messages (hence the blue ticks), the data is not being passed to the LLM for execution.
