[GOWS] Mentions ignored when editing messages (works in NOWEB)

[antonio-digiliza]

When editing a WhatsApp group message that contains mentions using the GOWS engine, the PUT /{session}/chats/{chatId}/messages/{messageId} endpoint does not handle the mentions parameter.

Engine comparison

• NOWEB engine: Mentions are handled correctly when editing messages.
• GOWS engine: Mentions are ignored when editing messages.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a WhatsApp group and send a message that includes mentions.
2. Call PUT /{session}/chats/{chatId}/messages/{messageId} with a JSON body that updates text and includes the mentions array.
3. Observe whether the mentions are preserved/processed after the edit.

Expected behavior
The edited message should include the mentions (tags should appear/highlight the mentioned users) — same behaviour as the NOWEB engine.

Actual behavior
With the GOWS engine the mentions parameter is not processed and mentions are not applied after editing.
