🔒 Birthday Bot v1.1.0 - LID Support & Enhanced Security

Major Update: WhatsApp LID format support + Strict security mode

✨ What's New

WhatsApp LID Support

  • ✅ Auto-detection for both JID (old) and LID (new) WhatsApp formats
  • ✅ Phone matching across different conversation contexts
  • ✅ New command: checkid - Check your WhatsApp ID format
  • ✅ First-time setup guidance for LID users
  • ✅ Works seamlessly with both old and new accounts

Enhanced Security (REQUIRE_WHITELIST)

  • 🔒 Strict Mode - Only whitelisted users can use ANY command (default)
  • 🔓 Setup Mode - Public access to help/checkid for initial setup
  • 🙈 Silent ignore for unauthorized users (bot stays hidden)
  • 🐛 Debug logging for security monitoring

What is LID?

WhatsApp's new privacy feature where your ID changes per conversation. Birthday Bot now fully supports this!

Old (JID): 919876543210@s.whatsapp.net (fixed)
New (LID): 1836486XXXX9443@lid (changes per chat)

🐛 Critical Fixes

  • ✅ Fixed whitelist authentication - Was not blocking unauthorized users
  • ✅ Fixed owner recognition with LID format
  • ✅ Improved phone number matching across ID formats
  • ✅ Better console output (removed Baileys warnings)

🚀 Upgrade from v1.0.0

git pull origin main
npm start
# Optional: Check your ID format
Bot, checkid

No breaking changes - seamless upgrade!

⚙️ New Configuration

Add to your .env file:

# Security mode (recommended: true)
REQUIRE_WHITELIST=true  # Strict: Only whitelisted users
# REQUIRE_WHITELIST=false  # Setup: Anyone uses help/checkid

# Optional: For LID users
# OWNER_LID=your_lid_here@lid

🔧 First-Time Setup (New Users)
