* fix(whatsapp): extract GIF metadata and distinguish gifPlayback in media placeholders (fixes#49099)
- Add escapeAttr() helper to sanitize quotes and angle brackets in XML attribute values
- Add extractExternalAdReplyMetadata() to extract title, sourceUrl, body from contextInfo.externalAdReply
- Distinguish GIFs from videos using videoMessage.gifPlayback flag (media:gif vs media:video)
- Enrich image and video placeholders with externalAdReply metadata when available
- Add 5 test cases covering GIF detection, metadata extraction, attribute escaping, and empty fields
* fix(whatsapp): keep GIF metadata in untrusted context

* fix(whatsapp): preserve auth on passive terminal stops
* fix(whatsapp): recover stale web auth during relink
* fix(gateway): defer channel stop until qr takeover
The inline-code/fence restore step matched the placeholder index with a
greedy `(\d+)`, so a digit in user text immediately after a code span
(e.g. `code`5) was absorbed into the index, resolved to undefined, and
`?? ""` deleted both the code span and the digit. Terminate the
placeholder index with the existing NUL marker so the index boundary is
unambiguous.

* fix: add timeout to waitForWaConnection to prevent indefinite hangs
If Baileys fails to emit a 'connection.update' event with either 'open'
or 'close' status (e.g. due to network issues or internal errors), the
waitForWaConnection promise hangs forever, blocking the entire monitor
loop.
Add a configurable timeout (default 60s) that rejects the promise and
cleans up the event listener if no connection state is received in time.
The timeout is backward-compatible as an optional parameter with a
sensible default.
* test: add coverage for waitForWaConnection timeout path
- Test that promise rejects with descriptive error after timeout
- Test that event listener is cleaned up after timeout
- Test that timer is cleared when connection opens before timeout
* fix: default timeoutMs to 0 to preserve QR login behavior
The 60s default broke the QR login flow in login-qr.ts, which calls
waitForWaConnection without a timeout and expects to wait up to 3 minutes
while the user scans. Change the default to 0 (wait forever, matching
original behavior) and pass the 60s timeout explicitly at the monitor
callsite where it's actually needed.
* fix: bound whatsapp connection startup waits
* fix: align web channel wait contract
* fix: retry whatsapp setup timeouts
* fix: satisfy whatsapp status lint
* fix: preserve whatsapp wait compatibility
