- Update outdated file reference in comment (process-message.ts:399-421
-> PDO response handler in src/Utils/process-message.ts)
- Add missing else branch in fallback path for duplicate request logging
to maintain observability parity with scheduled path
- Clarify log message in fallback path to reflect direct request flow
('Message received before direct resend request completed')

Aligns CTWA recovery with upstream philosophy by using messageRetryManager
instead of direct requestPlaceholderResend calls.
Benefits:
- Uses 3-second delay from manager (avoids request spam)
- Enables automatic cancellation if message arrives before request
- Centralizes phone request logic in messageRetryManager
- Adds fallback for when manager is not available
Changes:
- Wrap requestPlaceholderResend in messageRetryManager.schedulePhoneRequest()
- Add new metric status 'scheduled' for tracking scheduled requests
- Add metric status 'sent' when request is actually sent after delay
- Keep direct call as fallback when messageRetryManager is null

Prevents unnecessary placeholder resend requests for messages older than 7 days,
improving resource efficiency and aligning with upstream best practices. Adds
metrics tracking for rejected old messages and includes message age in logs.

- Add fallback chain for contact name: displayName || name || username
- Add fallback for LID: lidJid || accountLid
- Add TODO marker for WAJIDHASH support in picture updates
These fallbacks improve robustness when WhatsApp returns contact
data in different fields depending on account type (business, personal).
Cherry-pick from upstream PR #2280 (commit 92d4198)
- Add STATUS_EXPIRY_SECONDS constant (24h = 86400s)
- Skip retry attempts for status broadcast messages older than 24h
- Saves resources by not retrying messages that are already expired

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.
Messages from Facebook/Instagram ads (Click-to-WhatsApp) don't arrive on
linked devices because Meta's ads endpoint doesn't encrypt for multi-device.
They arrive as "Message absent from node" placeholders.
This change automatically requests the message from the primary phone via
PDO (Peer Data Operation) when a CTWA placeholder is detected.
Changes:
- Add enableCTWARecovery config option (default: true)
- Trigger requestPlaceholderResend() for "Message absent from node" errors
- Add Prometheus metrics for CTWA recovery tracking
- Add comprehensive unit tests for CTWA recovery functionality

* Memory leak in makeMutex - Promise never gets garbage collected
Hey, I've been debugging a memory leak in my application and traced it back to the makeMutex implementation.
The current implementation chains promises indefinitely without ever breaking the chain:
Every call to mutex() creates a new Promise that awaits the previous task, then becomes the new task. The problem is the old promises never get released because each one holds a reference to the previous through the closure.
What I found
Took a heap snapshot after running for a while and found hundreds of Promises from make-mutex.js holding ~15MB and growing. The retainer graph shows a long chain of Promises all pointing back to each other.
Since processingMutex handles every incoming message/notification, this chain grows constantly and never shrinks.
This keeps the same mutex behavior but lets the GC clean up old promises every 50 tasks instead of holding them forever.
* Refactor makeMutex to use AsyncMutex directly
* lint
* revert
* refactor: reorganize browser utility functions and improve buffer handling
* fix: harden protobuf deserialization and clean up code
* refactor: simplify data handling in GroupCipher and SenderKey classes
* fix: Ensure consistent Buffer hydration and remove redundant code
* refactor: update decodeAndHydrate calls to use proto types for improved type safety
