## Description
This PR adds support for sending voice messages (voice notes) through
the WhatsApp Cloud API. When agents record audio in Chatwoot, it is now
transcoded in the browser from WebM/Opus to OGG/Opus and sent with the
`voice: true` flag, so it appears as a native voice note bubble on
WhatsApp — not as a file/document attachment.
Closes#13283
**Key Changes:**
- Added `webmOpusToOgg.js` — a pure JS EBML parser + OGG page builder
that remuxes browser-recorded WebM/Opus audio into OGG/Opus entirely
client-side, with no server-side dependencies.
- Updated `AudioRecorder.vue` to use an explicit `mimeType` hint, proper
resource cleanup, and an `AUDIO_EXTENSION_MAP` for correct file
extensions.
- Renamed `mp3ConversionUtils.js` → `audioConversionUtils.js` and added
OGG conversion support via the new remuxer.
- Updated `ReplyBox.vue` to request OGG format for WhatsApp channels,
pass `isVoiceMessage` per-attachment, and handle recording errors with a
user-facing alert.
- Updated `MessageBuilder` to read the `is_voice_message` param and
persist it in attachment metadata.
- Updated `WhatsappCloudService` to:
- Normalize `audio/opus` → `audio/ogg` content type on ActiveStorage
blobs (works around Marcel gem re-detection).
- Send the `voice: true` flag when the attachment is a voice message
with `audio/ogg` content type.
- Use WhatsApp Cloud API `v24.0` for the attachment endpoint.
- Added `AUDIO_CONVERSION_FAILED` i18n key.
**How it works:**
1. The browser records audio as WebM/Opus (Chrome/Firefox default).
2. `audioConversionUtils.js` remuxes it to OGG/Opus using the pure-JS
`webmOpusToOgg` remuxer — no server transcoding needed.
3. The OGG file is uploaded with `is_voice_message: true` in the form
payload.
4. `MessageBuilder` persists `is_voice_message` in the attachment's
`meta` hash.
5. `WhatsappCloudService` normalizes the blob content type if needed,
then sends the attachment with `voice: true` so WhatsApp renders it as a
voice note.
## Type of change
- [X] New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
## How Has This Been Tested?
1. Record a voice message in a WhatsApp Cloud conversation.
2. Verify the audio is transcoded to OGG (check file extension in the
attachment preview).
3. Verify the message arrives on WhatsApp as a voice note bubble (not a
document/file).
4. Send an image or document attachment and verify it still works as
before (no `voice` flag).
5. Send a regular (non-voice) audio file and verify it arrives without
the voice flag.

WhatsApp template message errors were not being properly handled because
the `@message instance` variable was only set in the `send_message`
method but not in `send_template`. When template sending failed, the
`handle_error` method couldn't update the message status due to the
missing @message reference, resulting in silent failures with no user
feedback.
This PR adds missing error handlers for the following channels and cases
1. WhatsApp - Generic Handlers for both Cloud and 360Dialog (Deprecated)
2. Instagram - Handler for a case where there is an HTTP error instead
of an `:error` in the 200 response
3. Facebook - Errors from the two sentry issues
([Net::OpenTimeout](https://chatwoot-p3.sentry.io/issues/6164805227) &
[JSON::ParserError](https://chatwoot-p3.sentry.io/issues/5903200786))
4. SMS: Generic handlers for Bandwidth SMS
#### Checklist
- [x] Bandwidth SMS
- [x] Whatsapp Cloud + 360 Dialog
- [x] Twilio SMS

- update the templates updated at, even if the API request fails ( to prevent jobs from stacking up in case of API failures upstream )
- sequence the job in batches of 25 requests per minutes schedule ( in case API response time is high, also not to send too many requests in a single batch )
- move the sync job re-rerun to 3 hours ( since we are updating the updated at even in case of failures )(prev 15 minutes )
