Evolution API v5.4.2 - Confirmed automatic message deletion

Corrective delete release

• automatically resolves whether the original message belongs to the connected account or another group participant
• uses the authoritative archived message key and group-admin revoke mode when applicable
• rejects impossible incoming direct-message revokes and missing group permissions with explicit errors
• waits for WhatsApp acknowledgement across direct and group Baileys event channels before updating local state or emitting MESSAGES_DELETE
• stops returning Baileys PENDING as deletion success
• documents requests, permissions, response fields, errors, and n8n mappings

Release integrity

• runtime package version is 5.4.2
• the root endpoint exposes the image source revision
• GHCR images carry OCI version and revision labels
• tag builds now fail when the tag and package version differ

Validation

PR #31 passed the full TypeScript build, ESLint, runtime OpenAPI and chat-contract audits, CodeQL, and the repository quality workflow. No unapproved destructive WhatsApp message was used for acceptance testing; issue #22 remains the place to report the first designated live group test.
