Notes

• Evolution Go uses instance-scoped auth: the API key identifies a specific instance.
• Phone numbers accept plain format (e.g. 5511999999999) — the client converts to JID internally.
• The send_media endpoint accepts a URL (not file upload).
• The send_link endpoint auto-generates link previews.
• All send commands support --delay, --quoted, --mentionAll, and --mentionedJid.
