#### Problem
Meta requires the app to be subscribed to the WABA before
`override_callback_uri` can be used. The current implementation tries to
use `override_callback_uri` directly, which fails with:
> Error 100: "Before override the current callback uri, your app must be
subscribed to receive messages for WhatsApp Business Account"
This causes embedded signup to fail silently, the inbox appears
connected but never receives messages.
#### Solution
Split `subscribe_waba_webhook` into two sequential API calls:
```ruby
def subscribe_waba_webhook(waba_id, callback_url, verify_token)
# Step 1: Subscribe app to WABA first (required before override)
subscribe_app_to_waba(waba_id)
# Step 2: Override callback URL for this specific WABA
override_waba_callback(waba_id, callback_url, verify_token)
end
```

When businesses use WhatsApp Business App (co-existence mode) or
Instagram App or TikTok alongside Chatwoot, messages sent from the
native apps were not synced properly back to Chatwoot. This left agents
with an incomplete conversation history and no visibility into responses
sent outside the dashboard. Additionally, if these echo messages did
arrive, they appeared as "Sent by: Bot" in the UI since they had no
sender, making it confusing for agents.
This PR subscribes to WhatsApp `smb_message_echoes` webhook events and
routes them through the existing service with an `outgoing_echo` flag,
mirroring how Instagram already handles echoes. On the Instagram side,
echo messages now also carry the `external_echo` content attribute and
`delivered` status.
On the frontend, messages with `externalEcho` are distinguished from bot
messages showing a "Native app" avatar and an advisory note encouraging
agents to reply from Chatwoot to maintain the service window.

This update adds support to the coexistence method to Embedded Whatsapp,
allowing users to add their existing whatsapp business number in order
to use it in both places(chatwoot and whatsapp business) at the same
time.
This update require some changes in the permissions for the Meta App, as
described in the Meta Oficial Docs, I'll leave this listed below:
- **history** — describes past messages the business customer has
sent/received
- **smb_app_state_sync** — describes the business customer's current and
new contacts
- **smb_message_echoes** — describes any new messages the business
customer sends with the WhatsApp Business app after having been
onboarded

## Description
This PR introduces WhatsApp Embedded Signup functionality, enabling
users to connect their WhatsApp Business accounts through Meta's
streamlined OAuth flow without manual webhook configuration. This
significantly improves the user experience by automating the entire
setup process.
**Key Features:**
- Embedded signup flow using Facebook SDK and Meta's OAuth 2.0
- Automatic webhook registration and phone number configuration
- Enhanced provider selection UI with card-based design
- Real-time progress tracking during signup process
- Comprehensive error handling and user feedback
## Required Configuration
The following environment variables must be configured by administrators
before this feature can be used:
Super Admin Configuration (via
super_admin/app_config?config=whatsapp_embedded)
- `WHATSAPP_APP_ID`: The Facebook App ID for WhatsApp Business API
integration
- `WHATSAPP_CONFIGURATION_ID`: The Configuration ID for WhatsApp
Embedded Signup flow (obtained from Meta Developer Portal)
- `WHATSAPP_APP_SECRET`: The App Secret for WhatsApp Embedded Signup
flow (required for token exchange)
## How Has This Been Tested?
#### Backend Tests (RSpec):
- Authentication validation for embedded signup endpoints
- Authorization code validation and error handling
- Missing business parameter validation
- Proper response format for configuration endpoint
- Unauthorized access prevention
#### Manual Test Cases:
- Complete embedded signup flow (happy path)
- Provider selection UI navigation
- Facebook authentication popup handling
- Error scenarios (cancelled auth, invalid business data, API failures)
- Configuration presence/absence behavior
