This one needs environment variables set before it will start: WHATSAPP_DB_PATHS (Semicolon-separated paths to ChatStorage.sqlite. If unset, a platform default is used.), WHATSAPP_BACKUP_PATHS (Semicolon-separated fallback database paths, tried after the primary paths.), WHATSAPP_MAX_DAYS (Maximum look-back window in days a caller may request.), WHATSAPP_DEBUG (Set to 'true' for verbose logging to stderr.), WHATSAPP_LOG_FILE (Optional path to also write logs to a file.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.
