chore: bump WhatsApp Web version to v2.3000.1038585534 on Mar/18 base

Restoring master to commit d04a3e1af8 ("fix: restore working carousel
send/render path (#297)") which is the LAST KNOWN GOOD state before the
inbound latency regression. PR #303 (pastParticipants HistorySync LID)
and subsequent commits introduced the per-message LID/PN session drift
that locked the inbound pipeline behind Bad MAC retry storms in
production.

WHAT IS PRESERVED:
- Tag `archive/master-pre-restore-2026-05-01` points at the previous
  master tip (d03b625a89, "chore: update WhatsApp Web version (#404)")
- Branch `master-archive-pre-restore-2026-05-01` mirrors that tip for
  easy browsing
- All 137 commits between Mar/18 and the previous master tip remain in
  git history; downstream forks lose nothing

WHAT IS LOST FROM MASTER (preserved in archive):
- View-once features (#310, #316, #322, #355)
- USync username inbound (#382)
- Early-ignore JIDs (#383)
- History sync memory/CPU optimisation (#385)
- tcToken full lifecycle (#386, #387)
- Async LID mapping restore (#390)
- Decrypt-error noise reduction (#391)
- Detach post-upsert work (#392)
- Bounded-retry replacing CircuitBreaker (#393)
- wire address lock (#396)
- Decryption fail-fast (#402)
- ~30 WhatsApp Web/proto version updates (only the latest is reapplied)

Re-add features one at a time on top of this base, testing each so the
inbound regression doesn't silently sneak back in.
