/**
 * iMessage channel for Claude Code — direct chat.db + AppleScript.
 *
 * Reads ~/Library/Messages/chat.db (SQLite) for history and new-message
 * polling. Sends via `osascript` → Messages.app. No external server.
 *
 * Requires:
 *   - Full Disk Access for the process running bun (System Settings → Privacy
 *     & Security → Full Disk Access). Without it, chat.db is unreadable.
 *   - Automation permission for Messages (auto-prompts on first send).
 *
 * Self-contained MCP server with access control: pairing, allowlists, group
 * support. State in ~/.claude/channels/imessage/access.json, managed by the
 * /imessage:access skill.
