The Cloud setup wizard and docs tell operators to set
WHATSAPP_CLOUD_ALLOWED_USERS (and WHATSAPP_CLOUD_ALLOW_ALL_USERS), but the
adapter DM intake gate only read WHATSAPP_CLOUD_ALLOW_FROM + WHATSAPP_CLOUD_DM_POLICY
(default open, opted-in only via GATEWAY_/WHATSAPP_ALLOW_ALL_USERS). So an
allowlist set via the documented var silently dropped every inbound
(_should_process_message -> None -> HTTP 200, no dispatch, no log line).
- _allow_from also reads WHATSAPP_CLOUD_ALLOWED_USERS
- dm_policy defaults to allowlist when an allowlist is present (else open)
- _open_dm_opted_in() also honors WHATSAPP_CLOUD_ALLOW_ALL_USERS
Explicit DM_POLICY / ALLOW_FROM still win -> backward compatible.
