Research direction
Start by reproducing the listed e2e-room sequence on the Riot iOS app, with Alice inactive and Bob using a new e2e device. Trace the iOS end-to-end encryption and device-key handling involved in sharing the photo; done means Bob’s new device can decrypt it without requiring Alice’s inactive app to receive a push notification.
