Use `--json` flag for raw JSON on any command (default behavior). ## Notes - Phone numbers use country code format without `+` (e.g. `5511999999999`). - Group JIDs follow the pattern `120363...@g.us`. - The `connect` endpoint returns a QR code as base64 PNG in the response. - The `summary` command is composite: it calls `fetchInstances` then `connectionState` for each instance.
