WhatsApp wraps certain message types in container objects:
- viewOnceMessageV2 (listen-once voice, view-once media)
- ephemeralMessage (disappearing messages)
- editedMessage (edited messages)
Without calling Baileys' normalizeMessageContent(), the fields
conversation, extendedTextMessage, imageMessage, etc. are nested
inside the wrapper and invisible to our direct field access. This
causes these messages to be silently dropped with no error.
- Import and call normalizeMessageContent() early in messages.upsert
- Use the normalized content object for all field reads
- Add mock to test suite
