refactor: share room contract across composer and screens

[diegolmello]

Proposed changes

Move the room contract and the hook that observes in-place room updates into shared definitions and hooks. Composer, RoomView, and ShareView now use that contract, removing the composer’s dependency on RoomView and typing ShareView’s room honestly.

The implementation is commit 07aa0583ac (25 files). It preserves the existing subscribed-room and preview-room shapes and adds a regression test proving a new update patch re-renders consumers of the same room instance.

Issue(s)

Stacked on #7657 (diegolmello/pr-7482-r3-a-composer-ownership). Addresses its composer coupling review finding.

How to test or reproduce

• pnpm format-lint passed, including typechecking.
• TZ=UTC pnpm test --runInBand --watchman=false passed: 304 suites, 2,731 tests, 412 snapshots. Watchman was disabled because its state directory was inaccessible in the sandbox.
• The shared-hook regression test fails when the patch subscription is removed and passes when restored.
• Luna implemented; Astra reviewed standards and spec coverage with no remaining findings.

Types of changes

• Bugfix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
• Improvement (non-breaking change which improves a current function)
• New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
• Documentation update (if none of the other choices apply)

Checklist

• I have read the CONTRIBUTING doc
• I have signed the CLA
• Lint and unit tests pass locally with my changes
• I have added tests that prove my fix is effective or that my feature works (if applicable)
• I have added necessary documentation (if applicable)

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes

  • Fixed message composer placeholders so they display correctly in non-thread conversations, including when room details are unavailable.
  • Improved reliability when room information changes while users interact with conversations.

• Refactor

  • Standardized room and preview handling across conversation, sharing, and message composition views.
  • Consolidated room update handling to provide more consistent behavior across related views.
  • Clarified room observation and update handling for more maintainable conversation state management.

Walkthrough

The pull request centralizes room and room-update types, adds a reusable Zustand hook, and updates RoomView, MessageComposer, helper methods, ShareView, and related tests to use the shared contracts.

Changes

Room type consolidation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Shared room contracts and update hook app/definitions/TRoom.ts, app/lib/hooks/*, app/views/RoomView/definitions.ts, app/views/RoomView/constants.ts	Adds shared room and observed-field types. Adds useRoomWithUpdateFromStore. Updates RoomView state definitions and constants.
RoomView type and hook adoption app/views/RoomView/**/*	Replaces local room type references with TRoomOrPreview and uses the shared update hook across stores, services, hooks, components, and tests.
MessageComposer integration app/containers/MessageComposer/**/*	Updates composer state and tests to use the shared room contract. Removes the RoomView store provider from composer tests.
Helper and ShareView consumers app/lib/methods/helpers/*, app/views/ShareView/*	Narrows helper input shapes and updates ShareView room state and props to use TRoomOrPreview.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

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

Change: Refactor

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 07295

This change centralizes room contracts and update handling across room, composer, and share views. The remaining risk is limited to unresolved TypeScript convention deviations and does not indicate a user-facing behavioral failure.

Prefer an interface for ComposerState.

ComposerState defines an object shape with a type alias and an intersection. Define it as interface ComposerState extends IRoomWithUpdateState instead. Keep TComposerExternalState as the utility type alias.

As per coding guidelines: Prefer interfaces over type aliases for defining object shapes in TypeScript.

-export type ComposerState = IRoomWithUpdateState & {

Add an explicit return type to makeStore.

makeStore has an explicit parameter type but relies on return-type inference. Add : ReturnType<typeof createRoomStore> or : RoomStore.

As per coding guidelines, **/*.{ts,tsx} files must use explicit type annotations for function parameters and return types.

-const makeStore = (room: TRoomOrPreview) => {
+const makeStore = (room: TRoomOrPreview): ReturnType<typeof createRoomStore> => {
