Timestamps in embeds don't seem to render

Summary

The client does not seem to render timestamps in embeds. Debugging shows that they are part of the message object, but not included in the AST.

Steps to reproduce

Send a message with the following data:

{"embeds":[{"description": "t", "timestamp": "2026-02-21T22:14:25.975Z"}]}

This was closed in a bulk cleanup before Fluxer V2 without being checked or fixed. It may work now, so it is waiting for someone to confirm whether the bug still happens.

Timestamp is visible when the footer is provided in the message. Can reproduce with this POST data:

{"embeds":[{"description": "t", "timestamp": "2026-02-21T22:14:25.975Z", "footer": {"text": "test"}}]}
