A verified WhatsApp Business account (a bank, a payment app, a utility) sets no personal pushname, so _lift_contact_identity() found name, shortName and pushname all empty and the chat list fell back to the bare phone number. WhatsApp's own client shows the business's verified name, which WPPConnect serialises as contact.verifiedName; it is now the last fallback for chat["name"], after the address-book name and shortName, and never overwrites a name the chat already has. A saved contact name still wins, through _resolve_contact_name(). Tests pin the lift and the real resolver together, including the existing profile-name (pushname) path for numbers not in the address book. Ported from the TeleZapp fork (reffehcsoibaf/winzapp), where it was confirmed live on accounts such as "99 Pay" and "Verisure Brasil".

- A whitespace-only contact name or shortName no longer hides the verified name behind it: the lift takes the first non-blank string. - Romanian changelog: "Conturile business", the catalog's term for a business account. - Drop the assertion that the resolver returns None for a pushname-only chat; it pinned something outside this feature. - Docstring: keep the accounts it was seen on, drop the fork reference.
