…debug logging Downstream Baileys-engine hardening, stacked on the typed-WaId work (rmyndharis#349). - Initial sync: pass shouldSyncHistoryMessage: () => true. Baileys defaults it to () => !!syncFullHistory, so with syncFullHistory unset it silently disabled the entire initial sync - no contacts, chat list, recent messages, or lid->phone mappings ever arrived. The full-archive download stays opt-in via BAILEYS_SYNC_FULL_HISTORY. - Message history chatId filter resolves across dialects (reuses the from-filter's resolveJidCandidates), so a chat keyed @c.us also matches messages stored under @s.whatsapp.net - fixes the empty conversation view after contact/chat canonicalization. - BAILEYS_LOG_LEVEL surfaces the Baileys library's own logs (trace dumps the decoded WA wire frames), plus contacts/chats/history-set receipt instrumentation, for diagnosing sync issues. Silent by default.

Depends on #349 - stacks on
feat/typed-waid-349; that PR's commit appears in this diff until #349 merges. Review/merge #349 first.Three independent Baileys-engine fixes that surfaced while testing #349 on a real session.
Initial sync was silently disabled
Baileys defaults
shouldSyncHistoryMessageto() => !!syncFullHistory, so withsyncFullHistoryunset the entire initial sync (address-book / app-state) never ran - no contacts, chat list, recent messages, orlid -> phonemappings ever arrived (Socket/index.js+Socket/chats.jsgo straight toOnline). The adapter now passesshouldSyncHistoryMessage: () => true, enabling the sync while keeping the full-archive download opt-in viaBAILEYS_SYNC_FULL_HISTORY(WhatsApp then sends the recent window + contact/app-state snapshot, not the entire message history).Verified against
@whiskeysockets/baileys@6.7.23source and corroborated by upstream issues (e.g. WhiskeySockets/Baileys#2077, NousResearch/hermes-agent#11951).Dialect-agnostic
chatIdfilter on message historyA chat addressed as
<phone>@c.us(the neutral list id) now also returns messages stored under<phone>@s.whatsapp.net(e.g. an outbound send addressed by a raw engine id), so the conversation view is no longer empty when the stored and queried dialects differ. Reuses the #349from-filter resolution.BAILEYS_LOG_LEVEL+ receipt instrumentationBAILEYS_LOG_LEVEL(trace|debug|info|warn|error, silent by default) surfaces the Baileys library's own diagnostics;tracedumps the decoded WhatsApp wire frames to stdout (contextbaileys-wire). Plus contacts/chats/history-set receipt logging, for diagnosing sync issues.
