What's New in v9.2.1

🐛 Accurate Chat Names, Per-Device Pagination & Reliable Message Deletes

Version 9.2.1 is a patch release focused on chat and message correctness. Revoked and deleted messages are now removed from local chat storage instead of lingering in the UI and API, message pagination counts are scoped to the requesting device, and chat labels are resolved from the synced WhatsApp address book instead of falling back to raw phone numbers. The CI workflows are also refreshed to the current GitHub Actions majors.

🐛 Bug Fixes

Revokes and Deletes Sync to Chat Storage (#810)

• Removes the message from local chat storage after a successful revoke or delete, so the chat API and UI no longer return messages that no longer exist on WhatsApp
• Applies the same cleanup to incoming revoke events, so messages revoked from another device also disappear locally
• Makes message deletion atomic: reactions, edits, and the message row are removed in a single transaction and roll back together on failure
• Preserves Chatwoot message links on delete so asynchronous delete forwarding can still resolve them
• Returns an explicit error when the device ID or chat storage is unavailable instead of silently leaving stale rows behind

Message Pagination Counted Per Device (#811)

• Scopes the total message count in GET /chat/{chat_jid}/messages to the requesting device
• Fixes inflated totals and page counts on multi-device setups where the same chat JID exists for more than one connected device

Display Names Resolved from Synced Contacts (#812)

• Resolves chat labels from the address book synced by whatsmeow, falling through FullName, PushName, and BusinessName before the JID-derived label
• Replaces phone-number and JID placeholders in chat list and chat detail responses with real contact names
• Normalizes LID identifiers through the active device mapping, including pre-normalization placeholders and late LID mappings
• Uses point lookups for single-chat requests and a single contact snapshot for list requests, avoiding N+1 reads and eager full contact scans
• Leaves group subjects, newsletter names, and status@broadcast handling unchanged; contact store failures stay non-fatal and fall back to the existing deterministic label

🔧 Technical Improvements

CI Toolchain Refresh

• Bumps actions/checkout v4 → v7, actions/setup-go v5 → v7, docker/login-action v3 → v4, docker/setup-buildx-action v3 → v4, docker/setup-qemu-action v3 → v4, and docker/build-push-action v6 → v7
• Keeps the pinned Go version in sync with src/go.mod (1.26.0), which setup-go v6+ requires because it forces GOTOOLCHAIN=local
• Aligns the stale Go version reference in AGENTS.md with go.mod
