The April 2026 pin to WhiskeySockets/Baileys#01047deb existed only to
pick up the abprops bad-request fix (Baileys PR #2473) before it was
released. That fix shipped in v7.0.0-rc11 (May 2026); our pinned commit
is now 48 commits behind rc13.
The git pin forced npm to clone the repo and compile Baileys from
TypeScript source on every fresh install (~3 min), which blew past the
dashboard pairing flow's timeout. Registry install takes ~3s.
Validation: all 9 bridge.js imports present in rc13, bridge.native.test.mjs
passes (13/13), live bridge boot renders pairing QR against real WA servers.
