📖About & Usage

How a person becomes a Carol user. Identity is ABSOLUTE and channel-agnostic: exactly one person per human, active on one or more channels (WhatsApp, web) recorded as an active-channels list -- never a separate identity per channel. CHANNELS: a user onboards via WhatsApp (Carol) or web Google sign-in; an anonymous web visitor is a provisional guest, and any channel resolves to the one person. APPROVAL: web sign-ins queue as pending for admin approval before promotion; WhatsApp auto-approves admin/verified identities and emails the admin to decide on guests; banned identities are rejected. ACCESS: a person is granted a service subscription PLUS an explicit agent mapping (which agents they may use, within subscribed services), both shared across their channels. STATUS & ACTIVITY: person-level status (access tier, verified, subscription) is channel-agnostic; activity (last-active, proactive outreach) is recorded per channel. The process is run by Carol's user-management droids: User Manager (registration, tiers, onboarding), Beacon (discovers new users daily), Identity Sync (unifies one person across channels), and User Profiler (profile enrichment).
