 5. Remove `/tmp/logos.png`, `/tmp/waha-chatwoot.png`, and the emoji assets when you're done.
 
 This keeps the branding centred with a comfortable gap and ensures every ChatWoot cover reuses the original artwork.
+
+## WAHA Release Covers (logo + version)
+
+Use this recipe for the monthly WAHA release blog covers. It keeps the "WAHA" headline centred, then places the version label and WAHA logo inside a rounded white pill underneath.
+
+```bash
+./scripts/generate-waha-cover.sh \
+  --version 2025.10 \
+  --gradient '#0b1120-#0f766e' \
+  --output content/blog/waha-2025-10/waha-2025-10.png
+```
+
+Parameters:
+
+- `--version` sets the label inside the pill; text renders in WAHA green `#10991e`.
+- `--gradient` accepts any ImageMagick gradient string (e.g. `'#0f172a-#6d28d9'` for purple). Pick a fresh palette per release.
+- `--output` is the target PNG path. The script overwrites the file if it exists.
+- `--logo` is optional if you ever need to point at a different mark (defaults to `images/logo.png`).
+
+Tweaks:
+
+- Move the pill closer/further from the headline by editing the `-geometry +0+130` value in the script.
+- Shift the version text or logo inside the pill by changing the `-annotate` and `-geometry` offsets in the script.
+- Update the font by changing the `FONT` variable if DejaVu Sans is unavailable in a new environment.

+## 💬 ChatWoot – Messages Sync
+Need old conversations inside ChatWoot? Run `wa/messages pull` to replay WhatsApp chat history, pick the time range, fetch media, and even close conversations during the import. Every switch is explained in the [**💬 ChatWoot – Messages Guide**]({{< relref "/blog/apps-chatwoot-5-messages" >}}).
+
+The dashboard watches each job, keeps rate limits safe, and skips duplicates so long imports do not crash your inbox.
+
+## 👤 ChatWoot – Contacts Sync
+`wa/contacts pull` keeps the ChatWoot contact list matched with WhatsApp. It copies names, numbers, avatars, groups, and LIDs, so agents always see the latest profile. Learn how to schedule the sync in the [**👤 ChatWoot – Contacts Guide**]({{< relref "/blog/apps-chatwoot-6-contacts" >}}).
+
+## 🔐 Secure Defaults
+Release `2025.10.3` now protects every fresh install. WAHA auto-generates `WAHA_API_KEY`, `WAHA_DASHBOARD_PASSWORD`, and `WHATSAPP_SWAGGER_PASSWORD` when you leave them empty, and it blocks weak passwords such as `0000`, `123`, `admin`, or `waha`. If your setup truly needs to switch any guard off, follow the checklist in [**🔒 Security**]({{< relref "/docs/how-to/security/#how-to-disable-security" >}}).
+
+## 🛠️ Other Fixes
+- Voice conversions now work every time (`ffmpeg` goes back to mp3 and WEBJS handles `convert: true`), and channels can receive media again.
+- Message reactions, list messages, edited events, and `{device}@lid` group IDs behave the same across engines.
+- Sending images through a proxy, loading media over SSL, opening `/about`, and paginating `/messages` all work again after bug fixes.
