Luckly The problem was the node version
use nvm 20.11 fixed the issue
also had to remove ~/.cache/puppeteer, session.data.json, node_modules and ~/.npm/_npx/*

Now it's working again,
Maybe will be usefull for someone else with similar issue
All the best!

for now the only thing that seems to work is
delete session file
rm -rf ~/.bun/install/cache/puppeteer*
rm -rf /tmp/@open-wa
mv ~/.cache/puppeteer ~/.cache/x_puppeteer_xxxx
use bunx instead of npx
