store raw protobuf for media messages in a media_proto column. new download_media tool decrypts and saves media to ~/.whasapo/media/ using whatsmeow's Download(). supports images, videos, documents, audio, and stickers. proto is stored for both live messages and history sync, so media can be downloaded after the fact. closes #21
37 tests covering: - extractTextAndMedia: all message types (text, image, video, doc, audio, sticker, location, contact, poll, nil, unsupported) - contactName: fallback chain - truncate: edge cases - extensionFromMime: known/unknown types - semverGreater: 15 cases including multi-digit segments - SQLite: store, query, filter, upsert, media type, download errors new test.yml workflow runs on push to main and all PRs. release.yml now runs tests before building. removed stale commit_helper files.
