Fixes all issues identified in PR #44 review:
1. **Album root message now relayed to server** (Critical)
- Before: Only generated root message, never sent it
- After: Calls relayMessage() on albumRootMsg before sending media items
- Also emits own event if emitOwnEvents is enabled
2. **Fixed messageId collision**
- Before: Spread ...options could pass same messageId to all items
- After: Explicitly pass only safe options (timestamp, quoted, etc.)
- Each media item now gets a fresh ID from generateWAMessage
3. **Fixed proto structure for album association**
- Before: Used non-existent messageContextInfo.messageAddOnType
- After: Uses correct messageContextInfo.messageAssociation with:
- associationType: proto.MessageAssociation.AssociationType.MEDIA_ALBUM
- parentMessageKey: albumKey
4. **Added runtime error for sendMessage misuse**
- sendMessage() now throws clear error if called with { album: ... }
- Forces users to use sendAlbumMessage() for proper behavior
5. **Fixed documentation**
- delay: Changed "based on media size" to "based on media type"
- retryAttempts: Clarified it's "total attempts" not just retries

Implements WhatsApp album messages (grouped media) with the following features:
- Send 2-10 images/videos grouped as a single album message
- Adaptive delay between sends based on media type (videos get 2x delay)
- Intelligent retry with exponential backoff for failed items
- parentMessageKey reference to album root (as suggested by maintainer)
- Complete result structure with success/failure tracking per item
- Validation for min (2) and max (10) media items
Types added:
- AlbumMediaItem: Single image/video with caption, mentions, dimensions
- AlbumMessageOptions: Configuration for delay, retry, continueOnFailure
- AlbumMediaResult: Per-item result with latency and retry attempts
- AlbumSendResult: Complete result with albumKey and statistics
Based on PR #2058 from WhiskeySockets/Baileys with improvements.

⚠️ EXPERIMENTAL FEATURE - Use only for testing with disposable accounts
Implements full support for WhatsApp interactive messages including:
- Simple text buttons (up to 3 buttons)
- Buttons with images/videos
- List messages (up to 10 items in sections)
- Template buttons (quick reply, URL, call actions)
- Carousel messages (up to 10 scrollable cards)
Features:
- Feature flag 'enableInteractiveMessages' (default: true for dev/testing)
- Prometheus metrics for tracking sends, successes, failures, and latency
- Comprehensive TypeScript types for all interactive message formats
- Extensive logging with warnings about potential account bans
- Automatic 'biz' node injection when feature is enabled
CRITICAL WARNINGS:
- These features may NOT work on non-business WhatsApp accounts
- Can cause temporary or permanent account BANS
- WhatsApp actively blocks this functionality since April 2022
- Messages may be rejected or fail silently
- Use ONLY in dev environment with test accounts
Architecture:
- Added ButtonInfo, Templatable, Listable, Carouselable types to Message.ts
- Extended AnyMediaMessageContent and AnyRegularMessageContent
- Implemented message generation in messages.ts
- Added getButtonType() and getButtonArgs() helpers in messages-send.ts
- Injected 'biz' node in stanza construction with metrics tracking
- Added 4 new Prometheus metrics: interactiveMessagesSent, Success, Failures, Latency
Documentation:
- Complete usage guide in INTERACTIVE_MESSAGES.md
- Examples for all interactive message types
- Metrics monitoring queries
- Troubleshooting guide
- Migration path to WhatsApp Business API

Added metrics tracking for:
- message_retries_total: Incremented when message retry is attempted
- message_failures_total: Incremented when max retries reached or encryption fails
Note: messages_queued metric is not applicable as this implementation
sends messages directly without an explicit queue system.

* feat: add support for ephemeral message expiration in group messages
* fix: lint errors
* fix: handle invalid signatureKeyPublic types in sender-key-state
- added extra check to ensure signatureKeyPublic is either a base64 string or a Buffer
- fallback to empty buffer when unexpected object type is received
- prevents ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE error in Buffer.from
* adjusted based on @jlucaso1 recommmendation
* fix: handle chain key objects for skmsg group message decryption
previously, some sender chain keys were stored or retrieved as plain objects
(e.g. { '0': 85, '1': 100, ... }) instead of Buffers. this caused
"ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE" during initial decryption of skmsg group messages.
this fixes any chain key object is converted to a proper Buffer
before being passed to SenderChainKey.
* fix: add more robust checks and fallbacks
* feat: async cache

* fix: linting issues

* Add cleanup for expired sender key mutexes
Introduces a mechanism to periodically clean up unused sender key mutexes in addTransactionCapability, reducing memory usage by removing mutexes that have not been used for over an hour and are not locked. A timer is started when the first mutex is created, and cleanup runs every 30 minutes.
* Update auth-utils.ts
* Refactor Signal key transaction usage
Introduces a local variable for parsed Signal keys in libsignal.ts to avoid repeated type assertions and improve code clarity.
* Refactor transaction handling for key operations
Introduces per-entity mutexes and passes key identifiers to transaction calls for finer-grained concurrency control in Signal key storage and socket operations. Updates transaction signatures and usage across Signal, Socket, and Utils modules to improve atomicity and performance, especially for system and sync messages.
* Improve SignalKeyStore transaction handling
Refactored transaction logic in SignalKeyStore to add commit retries, cleanup of transaction state, and improved mutex management for sender keys. Enhanced validation and batching for pre-key deletions and updates, improving concurrency and reliability.
* Replace custom mutex cleanup with LRU cache
Switched from manual mutex cleanup logic to using the lru-cache package for managing mutexes in addTransactionCapability. This simplifies resource management and ensures expired mutexes are automatically purged. Added lru-cache as a dependency.
* Lint fix
* Update src/Signal/libsignal.ts
* Update libsignal.ts

* Add message retry manager for session recreation and caching
Introduces a MessageRetryManager to cache recent sent messages and manage automatic Signal session recreation for failed message retries. Adds new config options to enable these features, integrates retry manager into message send/receive logic, and provides periodic cache cleanup. Improves reliability of message delivery and retry handling.
* Add buffer timeout and cache limit to event-buffer
Introduces a buffer timeout to auto-flush events after 30 seconds and limits the history cache size to prevent memory bloat in event-buffer.ts.
* Add session validation to SignalRepository
Introduces a validateSession method to SignalRepository for checking session existence and state. Updates message retry logic to use the new validation, improving session recreation handling and retry management.
* Improve message retry management and tracking
Refactored message retry manager to use LRU caches for recent messages and session history, added retry counters and statistics tracking, and implemented phone request scheduling. Updated message receive and send logic to mark retry success and pass max retry count. Removed periodic cleanup logic in favor of cache TTLs for better resource management.
* lint fix
* Use validateSession for session checks in message send
Replaces direct session existence checks with the improved validateSession method, which also checks for session staleness. Adds debug logging for failed session validations to aid troubleshooting.
* Delete src/Utils/message-retry.ts
