Rooms already had the one thing Groups lacked — a real, dialable Easy
Asterisk extension with live ring/page dialplan logic — while Groups'
only unique capability was personal-DID ownership. Rebuilding that
ownership mechanism a second time under the Groups name would have
meant duplicating Rooms' dialplan-generation code; instead Rooms
(renamed "Ring Groups" for clarity) gains personal-DID ownership, and
the standalone Groups card/API/backend is removed entirely.
pstn-trunk.sh's existing group-owned-personal-DID machinery
(pstn-personal-group-ring.sh, reading pstn-groups.conf by name) is
untouched — a new sync_room_group_mirror() keeps that file in step
with a Ring Group's live membership automatically on every
create/rename/delete/member change, so pstn-trunk.sh never needs to
learn rooms.conf's format. Room names now validate against the same
pattern write_group() requires, so a room can never end up with a
name that would silently fail to sync once assigned a DID.
The PSTN-restart nudge now also fires on a Ring Group edit, but only
when that specific group currently owns a personal DID — most Ring
Groups never do, and prompting on every ordinary membership tweak
would just be noise.
"Auto-answer for everyone" is the existing Page (intercom) room type,
not a new control. Messaging stays exactly what it already was:
strictly per-extension, unrelated to Ring Group/personal-DID
membership.
