iMessage

Read and send iMessages and SMS from the terminal via the imsg CLI.

Setup (Panda)

• Messages.app signed in as: the agent Apple ID (see USER.md)
• Joel's iMessage address: see USER.md → imessage
• Full Disk Access must be granted to the terminal for read operations (chats, history, watch)
• Automation permission for Messages.app required for send
• imsg send returns "sent" optimistically — this means AppleScript fired, not delivery confirmed
