This implements the functionality from WhiskeySockets/Baileys PR #2307
with enhanced improvements:
## Core Features
- Extract identity key from PreKeyWhisperMessage before decryption
- Detect when a contact reinstalls WhatsApp (identity key changes)
- Automatically delete old session and recreate on identity change
- Trust On First Use (TOFU) for new contacts
## Improvements over original PR
- LRU cache for identity keys (1000 keys, 30min TTL)
- Integration with existing Circuit Breaker (reset on identity change)
- New Prometheus metrics for observability:
- signal_identity_changes_total (new/changed)
- signal_mac_errors_total
- signal_session_recreations_total
- signal_identity_key_cache_hits/misses
- signal_identity_key_operations_ms (histogram)
- New 'identity.changed' event for applications to notify users
- RetryReason enum with MAC_ERROR_CODES and SESSION_ERROR_CODES
- Robust protobuf parsing with validation
- Structured logging with fingerprints
## Technical Details
- Manual protobuf parsing (compatible with any Signal implementation)
- SHA-256 fingerprints for key identification
- Atomic session deletion + identity key save
- Best-effort identity tracking (doesn't fail decryption on errors)
Resolves permanent MAC errors when contacts reinstall WhatsApp.

* 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
