Description
Location
File: apps/meteor/app/api/server/v1/im.ts
Line: 537
Problem
A TODO comment indicates that a cache-breaking notice should be added because a query parameter was removed from the API.
Currently, this missing notice can cause confusion for developers upgrading or using cached API responses.
Existing Code:
// TODO: CACHE: Add Breaking notice since we removed the query param
// Proposed Solution
// Add appropriate deprecation notice
// NOTICE: This endpoint parameter was removed due to security concerns and
// performance optimization.
// The feature was replaced with a more secure implementation in subsequent versions.
// Please refer to the API documentation for migration details.

Research direction
Start at line 537 of apps/meteor/app/api/server/v1/im.ts and read the surrounding endpoint and cache-handling code. Add the cache-breaking or deprecation notice for the removed query parameter, with wording that matches the API migration guidance; the issue is complete when the notice is present and clearly explains the change.
