Description
The Room Information side panel in Embedded Chat incorrectly displays a "Room Archived" warning for all channels, regardless of their actual archived status.
This results in misleading UI feedback, as active and unarchived rooms are shown as archived.
Steps to Reproduce
- Launch Embedded Chat.
- Navigate to an active, unarchived public channel (for example,
#general). - Click the Room Information (info) icon in the chat header.
- Observe the warning displayed in the side panel.
Screenshots
Expected Behavior
- The "Room Archived" warning should be shown only when the room is actually archived.
Actual Behavior
- The "Room Archived" warning is displayed for all rooms, including active and unarchived ones.
