## What's New in v9.6.0
š¬ **Reply Context, Reshareable Statuses & Rich Link Edits**
Version 9.6.0 keeps reply relationships in stored chat history, lets API-sent statuses opt into resharing, and adds rich link previews to message edits. It also fixes stale login QR codes, missing WhatsApp Business messages, and phone numbers in iPhone-shared contacts, with an updated whatsmeow dependency.

## ⨠Features
### Reply Context in Chat History ([#863](https://github.com/aldinokemal/go-whatsapp-web-multidevice/pull/863))
- `GET /chat/{chat_jid}/messages` now returns an optional `context_metadata` JSON string containing `replied_to_id`; the same message response is available through MCP
- Reply IDs are stored for received, sent, and history-synced messages, including supported ephemeral and view-once wrappers
- Edits and partial replays preserve known context, while context-bearing replays can fill older rows; metadata previously discarded needs reingestion
- Adds migration 49 while preserving the existing migration history and device/chat isolation; webhook payloads are unchanged
### Reshareable Text, Image and Video Statuses ([#862](https://github.com/aldinokemal/go-whatsapp-web-multidevice/pull/862))
- `/send/message`, `/send/image` and `/send/video` accept `allow_reshare: true` for `phone=status@broadcast`, enabling WhatsApp's reshare eligibility flag
- MCP `whatsapp_send` accepts the same option for text, image and video, and scheduled sends retain it
- Omitting the flag keeps existing behavior; enabling it for a non-status recipient is rejected
### Rich Link Previews in Message Edits ([#861](https://github.com/aldinokemal/go-whatsapp-web-multidevice/pull/861))
- `POST /message/{message_id}/update` and the MCP edit action accept an optional `link` field to send the edit with a title, description and thumbnail
- The link is appended when it is not already present, and stored text/history retain the actual sent URL
- Edits without `link` keep their existing plain-text behavior

## š Bug Fixes
### Reliable QR Login Refreshes ([#856](https://github.com/aldinokemal/go-whatsapp-web-multidevice/pull/856))
- QR codes no longer become stale while the login dialog remains open
- Fresh clients isolate unpaired-device QR attempts, per-device locks serialize concurrent logins, and events from replaced clients cannot disrupt the current session
### WhatsApp Business Messages in Storage, Webhooks and Chatwoot ([#857](https://github.com/aldinokemal/go-whatsapp-web-multidevice/pull/857))
- Templates, interactive messages, buttons, lists, products, orders and selection replies now receive consistent text rendering, so business-only chats no longer appear blank
- Webhooks expose structured `template`, `buttons`, `product` and `selection` details alongside the message body
- History sync preserves supported wrapped message content and media; Chatwoot formatting no longer turns URL parameters or `snake_case` identifiers into italics
### Phone Numbers in iPhone-Shared Contacts ([#858](https://github.com/aldinokemal/go-whatsapp-web-multidevice/pull/858))
- Group-prefixed and case-insensitive vCard `TEL` properties are recognized, restoring phone numbers in contact webhooks, stored summaries and Chatwoot
- Similarly named properties such as `TELEX` are no longer mistaken for telephone numbers
