- Add warning/debug logs to all null guard patterns (if (!x) return/continue)
so that when these guards fire, the reason is visible in logs instead of
being silently swallowed
- Fix jid-utils.ts transferDevice: throw Error instead of returning empty
string '' which could propagate as an invalid JID
- process-message.ts: warn on creds.me missing, reactionKey missing,
creationMsgKey missing, eventCreatorPn missing
- chats.ts: warn on sendPresenceUpdate/handlePresenceUpdate missing values
- event-buffer.ts: debug on chat/contact/group update missing id
- socket.ts: debug on sessionStartTime not set
- communities.ts: debug on dirty node not found
- libsignal.ts: warn on bulk migration jidDecode failure

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

1. Add logger to writeCacheFile (version-cache.ts)
- Now logs warnings when file write fails
- Helps debugging in production environments
2. Sanitize logging in parseGroupResult (communities.ts)
- Changed from info to debug level
- Removed full node/groupNode dumps (sensitive data)
- Now only logs nodeTag and groupId
3. Add input validation in parseNewsletterCreateResponse (newsletter.ts)
- Validates response structure before destructuring
- Adds fallback values for parseInt (prevents NaN)
- Adds null checks for optional fields
4. Add health-status.ts module
- getHealthStatus(): Full health check with circuit breakers, cache, memory
- isHealthy(): Simple boolean for liveness probes
- getSimpleHealthStatus(): Returns 'ok', 'degraded', or 'error'
- Useful for k8s probes and monitoring dashboards
* chore: remove comments and veirfy from generated proto files (improve size)
* refactor: replace fromObject with create for proto message instantiation and flag no beautiful
* chore: lint issues
