Contributor guide
Research direction
Start at the UI handling the `Name of call` text field and reproduce the current behavior by pasting a call URL into it, especially when using the app from a Safari dock shortcut. Done means a pasted call link is recognized and opens or joins the linked call instead of creating a room named after the URL.
