📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

ChannelListItem now separates channel read events from personal notification.mark_read events. It subscribes to message.read, filters users and thread reads, resets unread state directly, and adds coverage for event ordering and asynchronous updates.

Changes

Unread badge event handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Separate read-event handlers src/components/ChannelListItem/ChannelListItem.tsx	ChannelListItem handles channel read events and personal notification.mark_read events separately. It filters thread and other-user events, resets unread state, and manages message.read subscriptions.
Validate unread badge updates src/components/ChannelListItem/__tests__/ChannelListItem.test.tsx	Tests cover user filtering, thread reads, read-event ordering, asynchronous assertions, and actual channel unread state.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Mergeability Score: ⚪ Minimal · up to 6dc62

The PR changes unread-badge handling and includes one minor listener dependency refinement; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal review.
