-Build WhatsApp animated stickers (`.was`) from an image plus a Lottie template — pure JS, no shell `zip` binary required.
+Re-brand WhatsApp Lottie stickers (`.was`) and send them through Baileys as a proper `lottieStickerMessage` — so they actually render on mobile.
 
-- ✅ **Zero shell dependencies** — uses [JSZip](https://stuk.github.io/jszip/), works on Linux, macOS, Windows, Termux.
-- ✅ **Async everywhere** — non-blocking I/O.
-- ✅ **Flexible inputs** — template can be a folder, a JSON file, a `Buffer`, or a parsed object.
-- ✅ **Flexible asset selection** — by index, asset id, or a predicate. Defaults to the first base64 image.
-- ✅ **Returns a `Buffer`** — feed it directly to Baileys without touching disk.
-- ✅ **MIME sniffing** — detects PNG/JPG/WEBP from extension *or* magic bytes.
-- ✅ **CLI included** — `npx was-sticker -i face.png -t ./template -o out.was`.
+> ⚠️ **What this is and isn't.** WhatsApp signs every animated Lottie sticker with an ES256 JWT (`trust_token`) carrying the SHA-256 of the animation JSON. Any change to the animation invalidates the token and the client silently drops the sticker. This library does **not** let you put your own image inside a Lottie animation. What it lets you do is **re-brand** a genuine WhatsApp Lottie sticker (change the pack name, publisher, emojis, group link) without breaking the signature. The animation itself stays a Meta-original sticker.
+>
+> If you want a sticker with your own artwork, you need WebP animated, not Lottie `.was`. That is not what this package does.
+
+## How it actually works
+
+1. **Source** a `.was` whose `trust_token` is genuine. The library ships a Baileys helper, `captureNextLottieSticker`, that listens for the next animated sticker delivered to your account and saves the encrypted `.was` to disk.
+2. **Customize** only the `overridden_metadata` inside the archive. The animation JSON and the trust_token are preserved byte-for-byte, so the client-side SHA check still passes.
+3. **Send** via `sendLottieSticker`, which wraps your sticker in a `lottieStickerMessage` (FutureProofMessage at field 74). Baileys' regular `sock.sendMessage({ sticker, mimetype })` emits `stickerMessage` (field 26) — Web tolerates it, mobile does not.

 ## API
 
-```js
-import { buildLottieSticker } from 'was-sticker';
-
-const { buffer, output, mime } = await buildLottieSticker({
-  image:    'face.png',                  // path | Buffer | { buffer, path, mime }
-  template: './templates/heart',         // folder | JSON path | Buffer | parsed object
-  output:   './out/heart.was',           // optional — omit to keep it in-memory
-  assetSelector: 0,                      // optional — number | string (id) | (asset) => boolean
-  jsonEntryName: 'animation/anim.json',  // optional — path inside the .was for the JSON
-  extraFiles: { 'meta.json': '{}' },     // optional — additional files to bundle
-});
-```
+### `extractFromWAS(buffer)`
+
+Parses the ZIP archive. Returns `{ files, jsonPath, animation, trustToken, trustTokenPath, metadata, metadataPath }`.
 
-| Input form          | What it does                                                |
-| ------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
-| `image: 'face.png'` | Reads file, sniffs MIME from extension and magic bytes.     |
-| `image: buffer`     | Sniffs MIME from magic bytes.                               |
-| `image: { buffer, mime }` | Trust caller-provided MIME.                           |
-| `template: './folder'` | Walks folder; treats `*.json` as the Lottie, bundles the rest. |
-| `template: './lottie.json'` | Reads and parses the single file.                   |
-| `template: object`  | Uses the parsed Lottie (deep-cloned, not mutated).          |
+### `inspectWAS(buffer)`
 
-The return value:
+Higher-level summary intended for CLI / debugging output:
 
 ```ts
-{ buffer: Buffer, output?: string, mime: 'application/was' }
+{
+  jsonPath: string,
+  animation: { nm, version, width, height, fps, durationFrames, layers, assets },
+  metadata: object | null,
+  trustToken: { kid, alg, stickerFileType, trustedOrigin, claimedSha } | null,
+  sha256: string,
+  shaMatches: boolean,   // <-- this is the only field that ultimately matters
+  size: number,
+  fileNames: string[],
+}
 ```
 
-## CLI
+If `shaMatches` is `false`, the WhatsApp client will reject the sticker.
 
-```bash
-was-sticker --image face.png --template ./templates/heart --out heart.was
-was-sticker -i face.png -t lottie.json -s image_0
+### `customizeMetadata(buffer, patch, { merge = true })`
+
+Returns a new `.was` buffer with `overridden_metadata` rewritten. Allowed `patch` fields:
+
+| Camel-case input    | Underlying WhatsApp field         |
+| ------------------- | --------------------------------- |
+| `packId`            | `sticker-pack-id`                 |
+| `packName`          | `sticker-pack-name`               |
+| `publisher`         | `sticker-pack-publisher` (newlines OK — the second line typically holds a group link) |
+| `accessibilityText` | `accessibility-text`              |
+| `emojis`            | `emojis` (array of glyphs)        |
+| `isFromUserCreatedPack` | `is-from-user-created-pack` (default `1`) |
+
+`merge: false` rewrites the metadata from scratch instead of merging with what's already there.
+
+The animation JSON and the trust_token are not touched.
+
+### `sendLottieSticker(sock, jid, buffer, opts?)`
+
+Uploads `buffer` via Baileys' `prepareWAMessageMedia`, then relays it as a `lottieStickerMessage`.
+
+```ts
+opts?: {
+  width?: number,
+  height?: number,
+  accessibilityLabel?: string,
+  messageId?: string,
+  quoted?: WAMessage,
+}
 ```
 
-## Baileys integration
+Returns `{ messageId, fileLength }`.
 
-```js
-import { buildLottieSticker } from 'was-sticker';
+### `captureNextLottieSticker(sock, opts?)`
 
-const { buffer } = await buildLottieSticker({
-  image: incomingPhotoBuffer,    // a Buffer you already have in memory
-  template: './templates/heart',
-});
+Resolves with the next incoming Lottie sticker, downloaded and decrypted.
 
-await sock.sendMessage(jid, {
-  sticker: buffer,
-  mimetype: 'application/was',
-});
+```ts
+opts?: {
+  timeoutMs?: number,   // default 60_000; 0 = no timeout
+  from?: string,        // restrict to one JID
+  filter?: (stk, key) => boolean,
+  includeNonLottie?: boolean,  // default false
+}
 ```
 
-## Bring your own template
+Returns `{ buffer, stickerMessage, key, mimetype, isLottie, isAnimated, width, height }`.
+
+## CLI
+
+```bash
+was-sticker inspect <in.was>
+was-sticker customize <in.was> -o <out.was> \
+    --pack-name "My Pack" \
+    --publisher "Me\nGrupo: https://example.com" \
+    --emoji 🎃 --emoji 💎
+```
 
-A `.was` is just a ZIP archive containing a Lottie JSON (and any sibling assets the animation references). To use a custom template:
+`inspect` prints the JSON summary above. `customize` writes the rebranded archive.
 
-1. Find or design a Lottie animation that embeds the image you want to replace as a base64 `data:` URI inside its `assets[]` entry.
-2. Drop it into a folder, e.g. `./templates/heart/animation/animation.json`.
-3. Pass that folder as `template`.
+Sending and capturing are intentionally not in the CLI — both require a connected Baileys socket; do them from a script (see `examples/`).
 
-If your Lottie file references external assets (sibling PNGs, fonts, etc.), keep them in the same folder — they are bundled into the `.was` automatically.
+## Examples
 
-## Roadmap / suggested improvements
+- [`examples/capture.js`](./examples/capture.js) — wait for a forwarded sticker and save it.
+- [`examples/customize-and-send.js`](./examples/customize-and-send.js) — rebrand and send.
 
-These are deliberately *not* in v0.1 to keep the surface area small, but each one would be a natural follow-up:
+## Notes / gotchas
 
-- **`sharp` preprocessing hook** — auto-resize to 512×512, convert to WebP, enforce WhatsApp's ~500 KB sticker budget. Keep it as an optional peer dep.
-- **Template registry** — ship a few permissively-licensed Lottie templates (heart, fire, sparkles) so users don't have to source one.
-- **Multi-frame stickers** — accept an array of images, write each into a separate animated layer.
-- **Validation pass** — warn when the produced `.was` exceeds WhatsApp's recommended size, or when frame rate × duration looks off.
-- **TypeScript declarations** — emit `.d.ts` alongside the JSDoc.
-- **Streaming output** — for very large bundles, stream the ZIP to disk instead of buffering.
+- **Mobile vs Web parity.** Mobile WhatsApp will silently drop Lottie payloads that arrive as plain `stickerMessage`. Web will render them. Use `sendLottieSticker`, not `sock.sendMessage({ sticker, mimetype: 'application/was' })`.
+- **The pack info shown in Web** comes from WhatsApp's official catalog keyed by the animation's identity, not from your `overridden_metadata`. Mobile reads your metadata. This is a WhatsApp quirk, not a bug.
+- **Use at your own risk.** Sending modified `.was` files through unofficial clients (Baileys is one) violates WhatsApp's Terms of Service and can result in your number being banned. Test on a throwaway account.

- * Build a WhatsApp animated sticker (`.was`) from an image and a Lottie template.

+ * through Baileys as a real `lottieStickerMessage` so it renders on mobile.
  *
- * @param {object} options
- * @param {string | Buffer | { buffer?: Buffer, path?: string, mime?: string }} options.image
- *   Image source. Either a file path, a raw Buffer, or an object with `buffer`/`path` and optional `mime`.
- * @param {string | Buffer | object} options.template
- *   Template source: a folder path, a JSON file path, a raw Buffer, or a parsed Lottie object.
- * @param {string} [options.output]
- *   If provided, the built `.was` is written here. The directory is created if missing.
- * @param {number | string | ((asset: object) => boolean)} [options.assetSelector]
- *   Which asset to swap. By default, the first asset with an embedded base64 image.
- * @param {string} [options.jsonEntryName]
- *   Path of the Lottie JSON inside the resulting archive. Defaults to the template's own path,
- *   or "animation/animation.json" when the template is a single JSON.
- * @param {Record<string, Buffer | string>} [options.extraFiles]
- *   Additional files to include in the archive (merged on top of folder-template files).
- * @returns {Promise<{ buffer: Buffer, output?: string, mime: 'application/was' }>}
+ * Tech notes captured during the v2 rewrite:
+ *
+ *  - The animation JSON inside a `.was` is signed by Meta. A JWT ES256
+ *    `trust_token` (kid=196) carries the SHA-256 of the JSON. Any byte change
+ *    to the JSON invalidates the token → the WhatsApp client silently drops
+ *    the sticker. We never touch the animation; only `overridden_metadata`
+ *    (pack name, publisher, emojis, group link) is fair game.
+ *  - Baileys' `sock.sendMessage({ sticker, mimetype: 'application/was' })`
+ *    emits `stickerMessage` (proto field 26). WhatsApp Web renders that;
+ *    mobile WhatsApp does NOT. Mobile requires `lottieStickerMessage`
+ *    (FutureProofMessage at field 74) wrapping a `stickerMessage`. The
+ *    `sendLottieSticker` helper does that for you.
