Research direction
Reproduce the direct-message attachment behavior in the Rocket.Chat desktop app on Windows 11, using the reported 3.9.11 version. Trace what happens when the attachment name is clicked and compare it with the expected immediate download; done means the attachment downloads without opening the web version or requesting another authentication step.
