Give ChatPilot its permissions

Full Disk Access for iMessage, notifications and starting at login, each opened for you in System Settings.

Your computer asks before an app may read your messages, show notifications or start by itself. Settings → Permissions lists what ChatPilot needs on this computer, whether it's allowed yet, and opens the right page of System Settings (on Windows: Settings) for you.

What it asks for

Permission	Why	Where
Full Disk Access	Mac only, and only for iMessage & SMS: macOS lets no app read the Messages app's conversations without it.	System Settings → Privacy & Security → Full Disk Access
Notifications	A message that needs you pops up, also when the window is in the background. Which messages: Settings → Display → Notifications.	The ChatPilot app: System Settings → Notifications. In a browser: the browser's site settings.
Start at login	ChatPilot starts by itself when you log in, so nothing waits until you open it.	The menu of ChatPilot's icon (menu bar or next to the clock) → Start at login

How to allow one

Open Settings → Permissions. A row that still needs you says not allowed or not asked yet.
Press Open System Settings on that row. The right page opens.
Switch it on there:
Full Disk Access with the ChatPilot app: switch on ChatPilot in the list. Without the app the card shows a path instead: click ＋, press ⌘⇧G, paste the path (the card has a Copy button), then Open and switch it on.
Notifications: press Allow notifications on the card; your computer asks once.
Come back to the ChatPilot window. The card checks again by itself (or press Check again) and the row says allowed.

Everything here is your choice: ChatPilot works without any of them, only that part stays off (no iMessage without Full Disk Access, no pop-ups without notifications).

The Open System Settings buttons only work in a browser on the computer ChatPilot runs on. From your phone or another computer the card shows the state and tells you to do it there.
