Research direction

Start by reading ee/packages/federation-matrix/src/events/member.ts around line 69 and trace how the member event handles avatar updates. Add validation so the handling checks whether the user actually changed their avatar, then run the relevant federation-matrix tests or checks and confirm unchanged avatars are not processed as updates.
