+*************************
+ Import WhatsApp history
+*************************
+
+Stop the daemon and finish all subagents before an import. Export each
+chat from WhatsApp as a ZIP with ``_chat.txt``. Keep the chat name in
+the ZIP name, such as ``WhatsApp Chat - Example.zip``. Read the plan
+first:
+
+.. code:: console
+
+   onechat import -n CHAT.zip OTHER.zip
+   onechat import CHAT.zip OTHER.zip
+
+``-n`` makes no model call and prints the chats, chat-day batches, local
+dates, cutoff, text bytes, merged message count, and estimated calls.
+The import keeps multiline text, system lines, and omitted-media
+markers. It maps the session's profile name to ``You``. Without that
+name, it keeps the senders as written and says so in the plan. An exact,
+unambiguous local contact or batch name supplies the chat ID when known.
+No network lookup is made.
+
+Each chat and local day becomes one work message marked ``(imported)``.
+Only messages before the first message of the earliest live WhatsApp
+batch enter the import. Live times have minute precision, so the cutoff
+excludes that whole minute. A chat-day already imported is skipped.
+Overlapping chat-days in the supplied ZIPs are refused. Review the
+exports before import: their text goes to the model as chat history.
+
+The import merges the full log in date order and builds its tree with
+real compactor calls, the agent prompt, and the agent cache key. It uses
+the probe's 660-call and 15-quota-point limits and prints the same usage
+report. Its estimate is about 1.3 calls per merged message, not a cost
+guarantee. A stopped or failed run leaves the agent unchanged. A new run
+starts over. Success keeps the other agent files and renames the old
+directory to ``agent-backup-TIMESTAMP`` before it installs the new one.
+Keep the backup until the new memory is checked, then start the daemon.
+Message IDs change to their positions in the merged log.
