One-shot script that walks every phone / whatsapp contact with `value`
set but `value_e164` null and runs the raw value through libphonenumber-js
to produce the canonical E.164 form. Matches the existing dedup
phone-parser shape (script-safe wrapper that loads metadata as raw JSON
to dodge the Node 25 + tsx interop bug).
Two output buckets:
- parsed cleanly: e164 + country both resolved (33/36 in dev).
- parsed e164 only: e164 came back but country didn't (3/36 — the
UK +44 7700 900xxx fictional/reserved range that libphonenumber
refuses to assign a country to but still returns a canonical e164
for). Still safe to write — the e164 form is the canonical one.
Run dry-first, --apply to write:
pnpm tsx scripts/backfill-phone-e164.ts
pnpm tsx scripts/backfill-phone-e164.ts --apply
Applied to dev DB this session: 36 rows backfilled, 0 still missing.
Will need to be re-run after any future seed reload that introduces
unparsed phones.
