+// Decryption of secret-encrypted message EDITS.
+//
+// When a phone edits a message in a @lid-addressed chat, WhatsApp delivers the
+// edit as a `secretEncryptedMessage` (MESSAGE_EDIT): the new content is
+// encrypted with the "message secret" of the ORIGINAL message — a secret this
+// whatsmeow session already holds (it arrived inside the original message
+// itself). Without this handling, the encrypted event is forwarded to the
+// webhook as-is, so consumers learn THAT an edit happened but not WHAT changed.
+// This closes the loop: decrypt with the official primitive
+// (Client.DecryptSecretEncryptedMessage, which natively supports
+// EncSecretMessageEdit) and rewrite the event into the CANONICAL cleartext
+// shape (protocolMessage MESSAGE_EDIT + editedMessage) — the same shape
+// BuildEdit produces — so webhook consumers handle both paths identically.
+//
+// Kept in its own file (plus a single line at the handler call-site) on
+// purpose: rebasing over new evolution-go/whatsmeow releases stays trivial.
