Description

LiveChat sends agent's login id and real name to client's browser and ignores settings where "Show agent information" is disabled. Actually Rocket.Chat just doesn't show the info, while still sending them to the client!

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by tracing the LiveChat payload sent to the client and the setting that controls “Show agent information”; done means the login id and real name are not sent when the setting is disabled, with coverage for that case.
