Documentation
Everything, and a box to find it in.
Written alongside the code rather than after it, which is why the awkward pages exist — what happens when a gateway times out, what the importer refuses and why, and how to get a WhatsApp template past Meta.

Honest note
The documentation is ahead of its audience.
Nobody has read these pages except the person who wrote them, so none of it has been tested against a real question from a real person. If something is wrong, missing or assumes knowledge you do not have, say so — that is the fastest way it gets fixed.
