CHANGELOG - Whatsapp Bridge Integration

Release 0.2.2 - 2026-06-15

Architecture Change: Introduced a dedicated "WhatsApp Bridge Hub" device. This central device acts as a single point of reference for global components, preventing UI clutter.
Fix: Moved the global live status sensor and the virtual broadcast entity to the new WhatsApp Bridge Hub device. This ensures they remain fully visible and accessible across the Home Assistant UI, automations, and service calls without being duplicated across individual user accounts.
Improvement: Maintained isolated, clean individual devices for each configured account profile (Larissa, Rene, Work).

Fix: Resolved device assignment duplication where a single global gateway card duplicated across all account tabs.
Fix: Globalized the live status sensor and the broadcast entity to instantiate exactly once for the entire integration rather than incorrectly duplicating per account.
Optimization: Code refactoring within sensor.py to prevent entity duplication when utilizing multiple profiles.

New: Setup of a main device (WhatsApp Bridge Gateway) in the Home Assistant device registry.
New: Integrated global service whatsapp_bridge.send_broadcast, which operates independently of individual profile entities and can send messages to any number or group ID.
New: Added status sensor (sensor.whatsapp_bridge_status). This queries the add-on's new API and provides the current connection status (CONNECTED, WAITING_FOR_SCAN, INITIALIZING, OFFLINE) directly within Home Assistant.
Improved: The sensor is assigned to the new main device, which significantly simplifies automations (e.g., alert on connection loss).
