Core Functionality: AI-to-SMS Gateway

• Receive incoming SMS - Requires READ_SMS and RECEIVE_SMS permissions to forward messages to AI
• Send outgoing SMS - Requires SEND_SMS permission to deliver AI-composed messages
• Monitor for new messages - Detects arrivals and notifies AI in real-time

This is cross-device synchronization: your phone's SMS ↔ your AI's messaging interface.
