[WEBJS] - cannot send message

[kuravista]

Describe the bug

When attempting to send a text message using the /api/sendText endpoint, the API returns a 500 Internal Server Error with the message "Lid is missing in chat table". This seems to be an issue within the whatsapp-web.js (WEBJS) engine when interacting with the underlying WhatsApp Web structural changes.

Version

{
  "version": "2026.2.1",
  "engine": "WEBJS",
  "tier": "PLUS"
}

Expected behavior

The message should be sent successfully to the specified chatId, and the API should return a success response (200/201 OK).
