### Problem
WhatsApp Cloud channels already handle Brazil/Argentina phone number
format mismatches (PRs #12492, #11173), but Twilio WhatsApp channels
were creating duplicate contacts
when:
- Template sent to new format: `whatsapp:+5541988887777` (13 digits)
- User responds from old format: `whatsapp:+554188887777` (12 digits)
### Solution
The solution extends the existing phone number normalization
infrastructure to support both WhatsApp providers while handling their
different payload formats:
### Provider Format Differences
- **WhatsApp Cloud**: `wa_id: "919745786257"` (clean number)
- **Twilio WhatsApp**: `From: "whatsapp:+919745786257"` (prefixed
format)
### Test Coverage
#### Brazil Phone Number Tests
**Case 1: New Format (13 digits with "9")**
- **Test 1**: No existing contact → Creates new contact with original
format
- **Test 2**: Contact exists in same format → Appends to existing
conversation
**Case 2: Old Format (12 digits without "9")**
- **Test 3**: Contact exists in old format → Appends to existing
conversation
- **Test 4** *(Critical)*: Contact exists in new format, message in old
format → Finds existing contact, prevents duplicate
- **Test 5**: No contact exists → Creates new contact with incoming
format
#### Argentina Phone Number Tests
**Case 3: With "9" after country code**
- **Test 6**: No existing contact → Creates new contact
- **Test 7**: Contact exists in normalized format → Uses existing
contact
**Case 4: Without "9" after country code**
- **Test 8**: Contact exists in same format → Appends to existing
- **Test 9**: No contact exists → Creates new contact

In this PR https://github.com/chatwoot/chatwoot/pull/11139, if there is
an attempt to create a duplication session for the contact in the same
inbox, we will anonymize the old session.
This PR would prevent sending messages to the older sessions. The
support agents will have to create a new conversation to continue
messages with customer.
In the previous release, we enabled "HTTP Basic Authentication" to secure all attachments requiring HTTP authentication. This is particularly important for media files that may contain sensitive data, as recommended by Twilio. However, some users experienced issues because they did not enable this option despite our alerts prompting them to do so. If the authenticated attachment download call fails, add another call to download the attachment without authentication.
We've had some messages come in from a few different phone numbers that had null bytes in them. I don't know how this happens. They don't seem to be malicious.
They currently cause the Postgres gem to raise an error when Chatwoot attempts to save the message body to the database:
ArgumentError (string contains null byte)
Related Rails GitHub issue: rails/rails#26891
This update will mean that errors will roll back the current transaction and the error will be sent back to the frontend and the user will know that the Inbox did not finish setting up successfully.
- API to fetch info of a single inbox
- Document passing custom_attributes in the API
- Ability to filter contacts with contact identifier in search API
