// Package simplex runs the SimpleX Chat command-line client and talks
// to it over its WebSocket API.
//
// The protocol, documented in the simplex-chat repository under bots/:
// a command goes out as {"corrId": "...", "cmd": "..."}, and the client
// answers it with {"corrId": "...", "resp": {...}} carrying the same id.
// Everything it sends without a corrId is an event. The API has no
// authentication; the client binds it to localhost only.
