## 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.

Outbound voice calls were being auto-assigned to the wrong agent. When
an agent placed an outbound call, the conversation was created without
an assignee, so inboxes with auto-assignment enabled would round-robin
it to a different agent instead of keeping it with the person who
actually made the call. This made it hard to tell which agent was on an
active call.
## What changed
- Set the calling agent as the conversation's assignee when creating an
outbound voice call conversation.
- This prevents the generic auto-assignment handler from treating the
conversation as unassigned and reassigning it.
- Added specs covering the assignment, including a regression case with
inbox auto-assignment enabled.
**Note:** this applies to newly placed calls; it does not retroactively
fix conversations that were already mis-assigned.

## Description
Some inbound WhatsApp calls stayed stuck in "ringing" forever. When a
caller hung up within ~1s of dialing, Meta delivered the terminate
webhook before the connect webhook. The terminate arrived with no call
record yet and was dropped, then connect created the call in ringing
with nothing left to close it. These calls now correctly land as missed
(no_answer), and an agent who taps Accept on a call that already ended
gets a clean "call ended" instead of a generic error.

## Linear ticket

## Description
Improvements to the WhatsApp voice-calling experience plus a cheaper,
more accurate audio-transcription model.
- First-time callers now get a real name. An inbound WhatsApp call
creates the contact from the caller's WhatsApp profile name instead of
the bare phone number.
- Clear, consistent call attribution. Call bubbles show a unified
"Handled by {agent}"
- Cleaner call widget. The dismiss (✕) button is shown only for incoming
calls
- WhatsApp calling for manual inboxes. voice_calling_supported? now
covers any whatsapp_cloud inbox
- Transcription: whisper-1 → gpt-4o-mini-transcribe.

Adds the server-side flow that turns Meta WhatsApp Cloud Calling
webhooks into Chatwoot Calls, conversations, voice_call message bubbles,
and ActionCable broadcasts. Stacked on top of #14312 (PR-2 — provider
methods); intentionally does not include the HTTP controller, routes, or
frontend (those land in PR-4 and PR-9).
## Closes
- Part of the WhatsApp Cloud Calling rollout. Linear: TBD
## What changed
**Webhook routing**
- `app/jobs/webhooks/whatsapp_events_job.rb` — append
`prepend_mod_with('Webhooks::WhatsappEventsJob')` so EE can extend it
without forking.
- `enterprise/app/jobs/enterprise/webhooks/whatsapp_events_job.rb` (new)
— overlay that prepends `handle_message_events` to intercept `field:
'calls'` payloads (route to `Whatsapp::IncomingCallService`) and
`interactive.call_permission_reply` messages (route to
`Whatsapp::CallPermissionReplyService`); falls through with `super` for
regular messages.
**Services**
- `enterprise/app/services/whatsapp/incoming_call_service.rb` (new) —
gated on `provider_config['calling_enabled']`; processes `connect`
(creates inbound call via `Voice::InboundCallBuilder` or transitions an
existing outbound call to `in_progress`) and `terminate` events; updates
conversation `additional_attributes` and broadcasts
`voice_call.incoming`/`voice_call.outbound_connected`/`voice_call.ended`.
- `enterprise/app/services/whatsapp/call_permission_reply_service.rb`
(new) — handles WhatsApp interactive `call_permission_reply` replies;
clears the conversation's `call_permission_requested_at` flag and
broadcasts `voice_call.permission_granted` so the agent UI can re-enable
the call button.
**Builder/model adjustments**
- `enterprise/app/services/voice/inbound_call_builder.rb` —
provider-agnostic; accepts `provider:` and `extra_meta:` kwargs, drops
`account:` (now derived from `inbox.account` to keep the param count
under rubocop's ceiling without disabling cops), uses digits-only
`source_id` for WhatsApp ContactInbox (validation requires
`^\d{1,15}\z`), skips Twilio-only `conference_sid` for non-Twilio
providers.
- `enterprise/app/services/voice/call_message_builder.rb` — adds
`create!`/`update_status!` API and `CALL_TO_VOICE_STATUS` map; uses
direct `Message.create!` (bypasses `Messages::MessageBuilder`'s
incoming-on-non-Api-inbox guard, which would otherwise reject the system
bubble); content is `'WhatsApp Call'` for WhatsApp and `'Voice Call'`
for Twilio. Backwards-compatible `perform!` retained for the existing
Twilio call sites.
- `enterprise/app/models/call.rb` — adds `default_ice_servers` (driven
by `VOICE_CALL_STUN_URLS` env), `direction_label` alias for the
`inbound`/`outbound` strings the FE expects, and
`ringing?`/`in_progress?`/`terminal?` predicates used throughout the
pipeline.
**Outgoing-channel guard**
- `app/services/base/send_on_channel_service.rb` — extends
`invalid_message?` to skip messages with `content_type == 'voice_call'`.
Without this, agent-initiated outbound calls (PR-4) would deliver
\"WhatsApp Call\" as a text message to the contact every time.
**Twilio call-site update**
- `enterprise/app/controllers/twilio/voice_controller.rb` — drops the
now-redundant `account: current_account` kwarg from the
`Voice::InboundCallBuilder.perform!` call.
**Tests**
- New: `spec/enterprise/services/whatsapp/incoming_call_service_spec.rb`
(5 examples — calling-disabled, inbound connect, outbound connect,
terminate completed, terminate no-answer, unknown event).
- New:
`spec/enterprise/services/whatsapp/call_permission_reply_service_spec.rb`
(3 examples — accept, reject, calling-disabled).
- Updated: `spec/enterprise/services/voice/inbound_call_builder_spec.rb`
and `spec/enterprise/controllers/twilio/voice_controller_spec.rb` to
drop the `account:` kwarg from call expectations.
## How to test
In `rails console` against an account with a WhatsApp inbox where
`provider_config['calling_enabled']` is true:
```ruby
inbox = Inbox.find(<id>)
params = { calls: [{ id: 'wacid_test', from: '15550001111', event: 'connect',
session: { sdp: 'v=0...', sdp_type: 'offer' } }] }
Whatsapp::IncomingCallService.new(inbox: inbox, params: params).perform
# => Conversation + Call (status: 'ringing', provider: 'whatsapp') + voice_call message bubble
# => ActionCable broadcasts `voice_call.incoming` to the assignee or account-wide
# Then terminate it:
Whatsapp::IncomingCallService.new(inbox: inbox,
params: { calls: [{ id: 'wacid_test', event: 'terminate', duration: 0, terminate_reason: 'no_answer' }] }
).perform
# => Call status flips to 'no_answer', message bubble updates, `voice_call.ended` broadcast fires
```
End-to-end browser flow (Meta → cable → UI) requires the controller from
PR-4 and the frontend from PR-9.
