…age payload WhatsApp has migrated to Linked Identity Device (LID) format for user IDs (e.g. 244645917392975@lid instead of 18505551234@s.whatsapp.net). The bridge already resolves LIDs to phone numbers for its own allowlist check via buildLidMap(), but the senderId field in the message payload sent to the gateway still contained the raw LID. This caused the gateway's WHATSAPP_ALLOWED_USERS check to reject all messages as unauthorized, since the LID numbers don't match the phone numbers in the allowlist. Fix: resolve LID → phone in the senderId, senderName, and chatName fields of the event payload before sending to the gateway, using the existing lidToPhone mapping.

Summary
WhatsApp LID sender IDs (
@lid) are now resolved to phone numbers in the bridge message payload, so phone-based allowlists (WHATSAPP_ALLOWED_USERS) match senders whose messages arrive under Meta's anonymized LID addressing.Salvage of #3219 — commit authored by Roger Smith (@r0gersm1th), PR by @ajmeese7; cherry-picked onto current main with commit authorship preserved (the PR's two other commits were merge-from-main noise).
