## Description
Agents can now place a WhatsApp call to a contact straight from the
contacts screen, even if that contact has never messaged in. Previously
the call only worked once a conversation already existed, so a freshly
added contact would fail with "Unable to start the call. Please try
again." — the only workaround was to get the contact to message the
channel first.

## Summary
Frontend for WhatsApp Cloud Calling: header / contact-panel call
buttons, ringing widget, accept/reject/hangup, mute, in-bubble audio
player + transcript, recording-on-hangup upload, mid-call reload
warning. WebRTC is browser-direct to Meta — no media server bridge.
## Closes
- https://linear.app/chatwoot/issue/PLA-150
## How to test
Requires backend support — the controller, services, model changes, and
routes ship in **#14334** (`feature/pla-150`). Merge / deploy that first
(or simultaneously); the FE alone won't function without those
endpoints.
Then on staging, for a WhatsApp Cloud + embedded-signup inbox with the
new \`Configuration → Enable voice calling\` toggle ON and webhook
registered:
1. **Outbound** — open a conversation, click the phone icon in the
conversation header (or contact panel), grant mic, your phone rings,
answer, audio both ways, hang up. Recording + transcript land in the
bubble within ~10s.
2. **Inbound** — call the business number from your phone. The
FloatingCallWidget appears bottom-right with caller name. Click accept,
audio both ways, hang up. Recording + transcript appear.
3. **Mute** — during an active WhatsApp call, click the mic icon next to
hangup. Speech stops reaching Meta until you click again.
4. **Mid-call reload guard** — try `Cmd-R` during an active call;
browser shows a confirm prompt.
