Research direction
Start by reproducing the existing incoming-webhook flow described in the issue on Rocket.Chat 5.4.3–6.5.0, focusing on the saved webhook's “Post As” username. Trace the settings update through the webhook integration and MongoDB persistence. Done means changing the username on an existing webhook persists and affects subsequent posts.
