Research direction

Start by reproducing the webhook behavior in Evolution API 2.3.7 using the Docker environment and a WhatsApp user with username enabled. Inspect the webhook payload and the related handling to determine where the phone number or username is lost. Done means the webhook captures the relevant user identifier, or a confirmed workaround is documented.
