* feat: centralized LID→PN normalization for all emitted events
WhatsApp's server increasingly uses LID (Linked ID) as the primary
addressing format. Consumers expect phone numbers (PN),
not opaque LID identifiers. This adds comprehensive LID→PN resolution
across all ev.emit() paths so downstream consumers always receive PN.
Key changes:
- Add resolveLidToPn() and normalizeKeyLidToPn() centralized helpers
in process-message.ts for consistent LID→PN resolution
- normalizeMessageJids() fast path: use alt JID directly from stanza
attributes (zero I/O, eliminates race condition with LIDMappingStore)
- Await storeLIDPNMappings() before normalization in message receipt
flow (was fire-and-forget, could race with subsequent getPNForLID)
- Normalize LID→PN in all event emission points:
* messages.upsert (keys, nested reaction/poll keys, participantAlt)
* presence.update (jid + participant)
* message-receipt.update (key + userJid)
* contacts.update (picture notifications)
* blocklist.update (blocklist JIDs)
* call events (chatId, from)
* group metadata (participants, owner, subjectOwner)
* group notifications (acting participant, add/remove/promote/demote)
* newsletter notifications (author, user JIDs)
* sync actions (mutation index normalization)
- Make handlePresenceUpdate and handleGroupNotification async to
support await on LID resolution
- Add normalizeGroupMetadata() helper in groups.ts for all
extractGroupMetadata call sites
Performance: ~0.01ms per message (LRU cache hit). No impact on
message sending. First-contact resolution ~2-5ms (one-time per contact).
* fix: normalize LID→PN in handleBadAck, media retry, and PDO recovery
Additional leak points found during final audit:
- handleBadAck: key.remoteJid from ack stanza could be LID
- messages.media-update: media retry key JIDs not normalized
- CTWA PDO recovery: webMessageInfo.key from phone response not normalized
* fix: address PR review — parallelize LID resolution, use helper consistently
- normalizeGroupMetadata: resolve participant LIDs with Promise.all
instead of sequential loop (perf on large groups)
- handleCall: resolve participant JIDs with Promise.all
- handleBadAck: use normalizeKeyLidToPn() helper instead of manual
resolveLidToPn + assignment (consistency with other code paths)
- CB:relay: resolve callCreator LID→PN before emitting
PRs 124-129 replaced TypeScript non-null assertions (!) with optional
chaining (?.) and empty string defaults (?? ''). While defensive
programming is usually good, in Signal protocol and WhatsApp binary
node handling code these changes caused:
- Malformed JIDs with empty user components (e.g. @s.whatsapp.net)
- Silent device enumeration failures (messages skip recipients)
- Wrong own-device detection (message routing errors)
- Broken prekey count handling (prekey uploads silently skipped)
- Wrong retry count tracking in Signal protocol
These empty-string defaults are dangerous because Signal session
lookups fail for malformed JIDs, causing "SessionError: No sessions".
Reverted to original Baileys pattern using non-null assertions (!)
which match the upstream reference (infinitezap/Teste_InfiniteAPI).
Files fixed: messages-send.ts, messages-recv.ts, socket.ts, chats.ts,
groups.ts, communities.ts, business.ts

Fixes:
- chats.ts: revert encodeResult/initial to ! (guaranteed by callback assignment)
- groups.ts: fix operator precedence with ?? (wrap +attrs in parens), fix groupId type
- messages-recv.ts: extract messageKey.id to local const with fallback
- socket.ts: revert onClose! (guaranteed by synchronous callback assignment)
- event-buffer.ts: add 'notify' fallback for MessageUpsertType
- messages.ts: add filePath const after null guard, fix contextInfo type assertion
- noise-handler.ts: restore array index ! (guaranteed by length check)
Build now compiles with zero new errors.

If the user does not allow to be added directly, it will be possible to get the invite code and create an invitation message for the user to join the group
The new proto extract has a bunch of breaking changes, so if you were using the raw proto in your code somewhere -- then you may have to update your code to make it work with the new proto

1. this allows all offline notifications to be combined into a batch -- to reduce the number of events being sent out
2. to enable the above, the "message.reaction" event has been made an array. Also removes the need for the "operation" field
3. have also now started processing all events under a single queue to prevent state sync problems
