Store operator and assigned iMessage numbers in `auth.json` after setup, and surface them in `hermes photon status`. When numbers are missing, status auto-refreshes from the dashboard without provisioning new lines.
Switch `list_users`, `find_user_by_phone`, `create_user`, `register_user_if_absent`, and `refresh_user_numbers` from the Dashboard API (Bearer token) to the Spectrum API (Basic auth with project credentials). Update response unwrapping to handle the nested `data.users` envelope returned by Spectrum, add `_spectrum_host()` resolver, `_basic()` header helper, and structured error helpers. Update tests, docs, and plugin.yaml accordingly.
Extend the sidecar and Python adapter to handle `voice` content alongside `attachment`. Voice notes are inlined as base64 (same size-cap logic), surfaced as `MessageType.VOICE`, and include an optional `duration` field in fallback markers when bytes are unavailable.
