+- `channels.line.groupAllowFrom`: allowlisted LINE user IDs for groups; DM `allowFrom` entries do not admit group senders
+- Per-group overrides: `channels.line.groups.<groupId>.allowFrom` (plus `enabled`, `requireMention`, `systemPrompt`, `skills`). With
+  `groupPolicy: "allowlist"`, set `groupAllowFrom` or the per-group `allowFrom`; an empty group allowlist blocks group messages even when DMs are open.
 - Static sender access groups can be referenced from `allowFrom`, `groupAllowFrom`, and per-group `allowFrom` with `accessGroup:<name>`; see [Access groups](/channels/access-groups).
 - Runtime note: if `channels.line` is completely missing, runtime falls back to `groupPolicy="allowlist"` for group checks (even if `channels.defaults.groupPolicy` is set).
