 The start command has a fallback handler in chat/commands/mod.rs that returns None. Only Matrix has pre-dispatch handling for this command. On WhatsApp and Slack, the command falls through to the LLM path.
 
+## Implementation Note
+
+Follow the existing code patterns used by commands that already work on WhatsApp and Slack (e.g. "rebuild", "status"). Study how those commands are dispatched and handled, and implement the start handler in the same way.

 ## How to Reproduce
 
 1. Configure bot with transport = "whatsapp" or "slack"\n2. Send "start <story_id>" to the bot\n3. Check server logs
