Describe the bug

Outbound media sends fail for image / video / document with the same WhatsApp Web frontend error. Plain text send works. Session reaches ready.

Error (from Nest / Puppeteer):

Steps to reproduce

Deploy/start OpenWA 0.23.5 with ENGINE_TYPE=whatsapp-web.js (leave WWEBJS_WEB_VERSION unset so auto-pin runs).
Start a session until logs show Session ready and Pinning WhatsApp Web version 2.3000.10477… (or another recent 2.3000.10477x+ alpha).
Confirm text send works (e.g. Dashboard / POST send-text to a valid chat).
Send media via Dashboard or API: send-image, then send-video, then send-document (small file, proxyEnabled=false).
Observe each media call fails with HTTP 500 and: Error: Data passed to getter must include an id property (it's how we memoize) but got undefined (stack: Client.sendMessage → WwebjsMessaging.sendMediaMessage → MessageSendService.sendImage|sendVideo|sendDocument; origin in static.whatsapp.net).

Expected behavior

send-image / send-video / send-document should succeed for a ready session (recipient gets a normal image/video/document bubble), or return a clear engine/API error — not fail inside WhatsApp Web with an opaque memoize/id getter error while text send still works.
